Samsung Galaxy S – getting it to work with Windows 7 x64.
After a long night and early morning fighting with windows and USB drivers and reading everything I could find online about this phone, I finally managed to get it working!
The problem is described as: brand new phone, stock firmware from optus, plug it into your PC & the automatic windows driver installation for the USB breaks somewhere and stops everything from working.
At this point I found Kies: Kies_1.5.1.10074_2_6 and installed that – which didn’t help. I also found some USB drivers as mentioned here and installed them – which also didn’t help.

I recently re-built my dev box and I use a PPTP connection to connect to various data centres around the place, when I ran into an issue I experienced a while back where the pptp connection would silently die (using pptpconfig on Centos) when I kick of my rsync. Some research lead me to the problem, which was an ‘oversize’ mtu for my little ADSL connection.
Solution:
sudo nano /etc/ppp/ip-up
Add ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1396 before the last line in the file (above exit 0).

Install everything using: sudo yum –enablerepo=ruby install ruby rubygems ruby-mysql
