# add a new client mode wifi interface

Edit `/etc/config/wireless` adding a section like this:

```
config wifi-iface
  option device 'radio0'
  option ifname 'cli0'
  option network 'cwan'

# This script is for setting TrackPoint sensitivity/speed/acceleration
# on a ThinkPad X220 to something reasonable since neither maxing out
# the UI mouse sensitivity nor maxing out /sys/devices options
# were getting the sensitivity high enough on their own.

# Edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf adding the following

[keyfile]

The purpose of this document is to get you familiar with the concepts and command line tools involved with connecting to the internet using modern 4G LTE modems on both Debian/Ubuntu and OpenWRT.

This writeup is based on my experiences with the Sierra Wireless AirPrime MC7455 modem and a Calyx (Sprint) SIM card, but it should apply to most modern 4G LTE modems.

High level overview

These are the steps required:

• Physically connect antennas

This is a guide for how to get a $33 HDMI capture device and H264 encoder that can do 1080p 30 fps or 720p 60 fps. It will only output a H264 encoded stream and is not able to capture the raw HDMI data.

This is just a quick guide based on all the hard work and info from danman's blog post.

Buying

Go to ebay, aliexpress or similar and find a LKV373A sender. It is sold as a device for extending HDMI over ethernet cable. You only need to buy the sender, not the pair of sender and receiver. The sender is actually an HDMI capture and encoder device. It should cost ~$33 shipped. One of the commenters mentioned that you need v3 hardware and that this won't work with v4 hardware so beware!

This is a guide for getting LineageOS (an older and unofficial version) onto an Amazon Fire 2015 7" tablet (also known as the 5th generation 7" Amazon Fire or under the internal codename "ford").

NOTE: This guide was originally written before someone figured out how to unlock the bootloader. There is now a newer method. Here it is very briefly. The old guide can be found below.

Unlocked bootloader method

First unlock the bootloader using this guide.

Once you're booted into TWRP download the latest LineageOS 14 release for your device here.
