+<p>With this weeks lawless
+<a href="http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/12/06/wikileaks/index.html">governmental
+attacks</a> on Wikileak and
+<a href="http://www.salon.com/technology/dan_gillmor/2010/12/06/war_on_speech">free
+speech</a>, it has become obvious that PayPal, visa and mastercard can
+not be trusted to handle money transactions.
+A blog post from
+<a href="http://webmink.com/2010/12/06/now-accepting-bitcoin/">Simon
+Phipps on bitcoin</a> reminded me about a project that a friend of
+mine mentioned earlier.  I decided to follow Simon's example, and get
+involved with <a href="http://www.bitcoin.org/">BitCoin</a>.  I got
+some help from my friend to get it all running, and he even handed me
+some bitcoins to get started.  I even donated a few bitcoins to Simon
+for helping me remember BitCoin.</p>
+
+<p>So, what is bitcoins, you probably wonder?  It is a digital
+crypto-currency, decentralised and handled using peer-to-peer
+networks.  It allows anonymous transactions and prohibits central
+control over the transactions, making it impossible for governments
+and companies alike to block donations and other transactions.  The
+source is free software, and while the key dependency wxWidgets 2.9
+for the graphical user interface is missing in Debian, the command
+line client builds just fine.  Hopefully Jonas
+<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/578157">will get the package into
+Debian</a> soon.</p>
+
+<p>Bitcoins can be converted to other currencies, like USD and EUR.
+There are <a href="http://www.bitcoin.org/trade">companies accepting
+bitcoins</a> when selling services and goods, and there are even
+currency "stock" markets where the exchange rate is decided.  There
+are not many users so far, but the concept seems promising.  If you
+want to get started and lack a friend with any bitcoins to spare,
+you can even get
+<a href="https://freebitcoins.appspot.com/">some for free</a> (0.05
+bitcoin at the time of writing).  Use
+<a href="http://www.bitcoinwatch.com/">BitcoinWatch</a> to keep an eye
+on the current exchange rates.</p>
+
+<p>As an experiment, I have decided to set up bitcoind on one of my
+machines.  If you want to support my activity, please send Bitcoin
+donations to the address
+<b>15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b</b>.  Thank you!</p>

+<p>In the
+<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/discover-data">discover-data</a>
+package in Debian, there is a script to report useful information
+about the running hardware for use when people report missing
+information.  One part of this script that I find very useful when
+debugging hardware problems, is the part mapping loaded kernel module
+to the PCI device it claims.  It allow me to quickly see if the kernel
+module I expect is driving the hardware I am struggling with.  To see
+the output, make sure discover-data is installed and run
+<tt>/usr/share/bug/discover-data 3>&1</tt>.  The relevant output on
+one of my machines like this:</p>
+
+<pre>

+109e:0878 snd_bt87x
+11ab:4364 sky2

+
+<p>The code in question look like this, slightly modified for
+readability and to drop the output to file descriptor 3:</p>
+
+<pre>
+if [ -d /sys/bus/pci/devices/ ] ; then
+    echo loaded pci modules:
+    (
+        cd /sys/bus/pci/devices/

+                module=`cd $address/driver/module ; pwd -P | xargs basename`
+                if grep -q "^$module " /proc/modules ; then

+            fi
+        done
+    )
+    echo
+fi
+</pre>
+
+<p>Similar code could be used to extract USB device module
+mappings:</p>
+
+<pre>
+if [ -d /sys/bus/usb/devices/ ] ; then
+    echo loaded usb modules:
+    (
+        cd /sys/bus/usb/devices/

+                    address=$(echo $address |sed s/0000://)
+                    id=$(lsusb -s $address | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $6}')
+                    if [ "$id" ] ; then
+                        echo "$id $module"
