Re: Multiple Network Configs

I use the pcmcia scheme option: once I set it up cardctl scheme
new_scheme will do.

It's no perfect, but it works for me.

Re: Multiple Network Configs

1999-08-24 Thread Jim Jensen
I have not used DHCP, but I have ha good luck configuring the
pcmcia-cs package with different schemes - one for home, one for work,
one for client A, etc.  Then before inserting the pcmcia card, I
just say "cardctl scheme home", insert the card, and it takes care of
setting all the parameters(see /etc/pcmcia/network.opts).  I have a
generic one for ppp that sets no ip address, and use "pon isp_name"
(configure /etc/ppp/peer/isp_name and /etc/chatscripts/isp_name).
This way ppp sets all the parameters/route/etc. (I use a combo
ethernet/modem card)


Let me know if you need examples or have further questions.  It may
not be the prettiest solution, but I understand how it works, and more
importantly, it does work.

Suspend Mode

1999-08-24 Thread Steve Robbins
Hi all,

I bought an old 486-based laptop recently (Dell Latitude XP 450C), and
successfully installed Debian linux on it.  I'm a newbie to both laptops
and to Debian, but not to linux (I've been running linux since 1992).

I'm wondering about the "suspend" mode feature on this machine.  If I
close the lid while the machine is running, it seems to go into some
power-saving mode.  It stops responding to the network, etc.

That's great, except: the clock stops running!

I closed the lid last night, and when I opened it again this morning, the
system time was eight hours slow :(  

So how do I fix this?  The hardware clock still keeps time, so it ought to
be a simple matter of running "hwclock --hwtosys" upon resume, no?
How do I set this up?


According to information on Dell's web site, when I close the lid, the
computer enters a "suspend mode" where it turns off CPU clock, disk motor,
monitor, etc. 

The machine also has a "suspend to disk" mode, in which it is supposed to
dump its memory contents to a "special partition" on the disk, and then
shut off the power completely.  This way, one can resume exactly where one
left off.  I wiped and repartitioned the disk when I installed linux, so I
no longer have the special partition on it.  But this sounds like a nifty
feature.  Does it work with linux? Supposing it is large enough, can I set
up the machine to use the *swap* partition for "suspend to disk"?

3C575 PCMCIA CardBus

1999-08-24 Thread Carlos Emir Mantovani Macedo
Hi again,

Now i've got another problem. I don't know how to make it work. I've
compiled the 2.2.11 kernel, with the pcmcia 3.0.14. My laptop is a Toshiba
Satellite 330CDS. The 3Com Card is at socket 1 and there is a Xircom Modem
56K at socket 0, but this card can wait :).
It does not recognize the 3Com Card during the boot. It goes only when I
restart the pcmcia (/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart). But as it restars, I
receive those messages:

cs: could not allocate 136k memory for CardBus socket 1
3c575_cb: RequestIO: Out of resource

I've checked the 3Com Card configuration by Win95:

Irq: 11
I/O Range: 0580-05FF
Memory Range: 040A-040B

I've also tryed to include "irq_list=3,5,9,10,11" option at the 
PCIC_OPTS
variable at /etc/init.d/pcmcia.

Thank's in advance.

Make sure your kernel has APM support, then install the apmd package.

In general, yes.

This sounds like a bad idea.  You'd clobber whatever was in your swap
space, and you'd probably have to reinitialize it every time you
restored.

You'd still have to repartition anyway, to get this set up, unless
your swap partition happens to be where the old suspend partition
was.  It's unlikely that there's any way to tell the laptop where to
suspend to; it's probably just expecting to find the right partition
in the right place.

and I was looking for advice for one that works well, and has a painless
install of debian (I hate mucking around with Xconfig)

Does anyone have a sugestion, or advice what I should not get?

Thanks,

Make sure your kernel has APM support, then install the apmd package.

In general, yes.

This sounds like a bad idea.  You'd clobber whatever was in your swap
space, and you'd probably have to reinitialize it every time you
restored.

You'd still have to repartition anyway, to get this set up, unless
your swap partition happens to be where the old suspend partition
was.  It's unlikely that there's any way to tell the laptop where to
suspend to; it's probably just expecting to find the right partition
in the right place.

laptop suggestion

1999-08-24 Thread Clint A. Brubakken
I'm looking for a medium range laptop ($1200-$1600 Celeron 300 or better)
and I was looking for advice for one that works well, and has a painless
install of debian (I hate mucking around with Xconfig)

Does anyone have a sugestion, or advice what I should not get?

Thanks,
Clint
