Sound on Dell Latitude CPi D266XT
I have potato installed and am gradually getting everything working, but have had no luck with sound. I've installed ALSA, gone through alsaconf and updated modules but have yet to find hardware settings that work. I've read Graham Williams suggestions on settings, but so far no luck. Any ideas?

D-Link 650 Ethernet
I am having problems with my new D-Link 650 PCMCIA card. When I insert it, it loads just find and creates a new network device, but I can never access any other computers through it, and according to ifconfig it never transmits or recieves packets. Checking /var/log/syslog, it is being loaded as a "KTI ETHER-C15 Fast ethernet" instead of a "D-Link DFE-650", and when I comment out the description for the KTI card in /etc/pcmcia/config, it tries (and fails) to load as an "Anonymous Memory" card! Thanks in advance for any help you may have. -Jules Kongslie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> P.S. I know that it's not the card itself or the socket because the D-Link card works fine in Windows and I have a modem card that works nicely in Windows and Linux. __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Sound on Dell Latitude CPi D266XT
The audio controller is a Crystal CS4237B - covered under one of the options with alsaconf. When I try to start it with: # /etc/init.d/alsa start I get: Starting sound driver: snd-card-cs4236 failed I'm stuck!

Network problems
I'm having a couple of problems with networking, both dialup and LAN. First: Network adapter is Xircom CBE 10/100 + 56K modem - no problems with that except that when APM shuts down the computer, it shuts off the pcmcia card, and the only way I can figure out to get it started is a remoot - less than ideal. Second, following the advice of one of the books I was reading, I installed "dummy" network adapter module when building the system - now it is the default, and I can't get rid of it. How do I get eth0 initialized properly when I start up the computer? Last, I can't figure out all of the dialup options - wvdial, diald, etc. I have been able do dial my ISP with wvdial and gotten connected & received an IP address, but the connection was not useable - no DNS info, or what, I don't know. I don't mind doing the reading if someone can point me in the right direction for these issues...

Re: Sound on Dell Latitude CPi D266XT
I am not familiar with the Alsa sound driver system, but I am guessing it works like any other modular driver system, for e.g., PCMCIA. Hopefully, this piece of advice will give you a few more options to pursue before one of the Gurus answers your prayers. As for my setup, I have a Dell Inspiron 5000 with ESS Maestro sound (the module is simply named maestro.o). To enable sound on my set up I had to compile the maestro.o module. That was easy enough. What I am putting down here are notes from my experiences in getting sound to work. 1) Check if the module for your audio controller is loaded by doing "lsmod" as root. If it isn't, I hope you know the name, then load it using modprobe (refer man pages). 2) Perhaps it's a matter of permissions. Check if sound works as root. You might need to become part of the "audio" group. I had a matter involving permissions on /dev/sndstat. These are not expert recommendations, but my experience has been that if you have read all the documentation, and done everything that made sense, you probably missed out on a minor detail. Do let me know if any of this helps, or if it doesn't :-). -AS Michael Dickey wrote: > > The audio controller is a Crystal CS4237B - covered under one of the > options with alsaconf.

Re: Network problems
part 1) Have you tried using "cardctl"? Look up the man pages on that. It's a short document. I suppose you could have some sort of a script that "ejects" your card before going into hibernate or shutdown via APM. -AS Michael Dickey wrote: > > I'm having a couple of problems with networking, both dialup and LAN. > > First: Network adapter is Xircom CBE 10/100 + 56K modem - no problems > with that except that when APM shuts down the computer, it shuts off > the pcmcia card, and the only way I can figure out to get it started > is a remoot - less than ideal. > > Second, following the advice of one of the books I was reading, I installed > "dummy" network adapter module when building the system - now it is the > default, and I can't get rid of it.
