WLAN Auto Config Failed to Start




All of a sudden my machine stopped connecting to any wireless network. Wireless indicator application suggested that wireless radio switch is turned off  – WTH – mine was a software switch. WLAN Auto Config Service was not getting started stating “The WLAN AutoConfig service terminated with the following error: The system cannot find the path specified.” Removing and reinstalling drivers did not help. Processmon / process explorer did not help to find which path is missing. Finally with some help from a forum I figured out that it was L2Schemas folder missing from C:\Windows\. Just creating the folder did not help. So I copied that folder contents from another machine (Could not copy the entire folder but only the files).

I have attached the link where you can download my L2Schemas folder and its contents - a zip compressed file with 7 XSD schema files.

Hope this helps someone. Leave your comment.

Open source grid computing software

Few open source grid computing softwares --- quite interesting Gridgain - Completely built on Java with the below key features Advanced Affinity Map/Reduce Annotation-based grid-enabling with AOP SPI-based integration and customization Advanced load balancing and scheduling Pluggable Fault-Tolerance One compute grid - many data grids Zero deployment model JMX-based Management & Monitoring   BOINC A software platform for volunteer computing and desktop grid computing. BOINC is designed to support applications that have large computation requirements, storage requirements, or both. The main requirement of the application is that it be divisible into a large number (thousands or millions) of jobs that can be done independently. BOINC is used by SETI@home   NGrid is an open source (LGPL) grid computing framework written in C#. NGrid aims to be platform independent via the Mono project.

TYK API Gateway to AWS API Execute Gateway + Lambda

Image
TYK API Gateway  does not provide a simple integration for invoking Lambda and I remember reading Kong does.  In any case, this is about how to securely integrate TYK with Lambda - Or in general, consuming internal/private AWS Api gateway in your application. Here are the high-level steps  1) Create a VPC Endpoint for API Gateway - with a security group that allows 443 from the TYK Node/application nodes ( Security-group in the source is the best choice). Note the Endpoint ID (used  for API Gateway Resource Policy) and DNS Name (not the individual AZ but the generic one - to be used for API definition on TYK API Gateway ) 2) Create a Private AWS API gateway - with a nicely tied security group and the resource policy would look something like this ( replace highlighted place holders with your configurations)  {     "Version": "2012-10-17",     "Statement": [         {             "...

Effective CPU Utilizing with Parallel Extensions for .NET 3.5

Second CTP (Community Technology Preview) of Parallel Extension for .NET Framework 3.5 was released on June ( 2 nd ) . This enables utilizing of Parallel Hardware for application developed by .NET developers & improves performance as the numbers of cores and processors increases. With just a little bit of learning programmers can easily exploit the benefits of concurrent programming. Normally application would need parallelism for 2 things. a) Data Parallelism: Enables you to break problems into individual parallel units of work by partitioning data, like arrays, lists, loop iterations, or XML files. b) Task Parallelism: Provides more control over the expression of parallelism, enabling you to divide work based on the way your program's logic is grouped into functions and statements. Parallel Extensions for .NET 3.5 gives 2 flavors for Parallelism. Imperative parallelism : requires explicit calls to be made to begin and wait for work to finish. Declarative Parallelism: Hides ...
