RE: pcmcia-cs and configuring network...
There are several packages in Debian currently which attempt to figure out which network you are own and configure your ethernet device accordingly. I know intuitively and I think thje other is discover. There is at least two more.

Re: Woody - PCMCIA Ethernet
I had a similar problem when I did a potato install and upgraded to unstable. I got around it by commenting out any axnet drivers in the /etc/pcmcia/* .

Problems compiling netdrivers
Hi,
I downloaded netdrivers-3.0.1.src.rpm from ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/
I put the driver-sources in /usr/src/modules/netdrivers and tried to
compile them just typing 'make'.
I get the following compiling errors:

I also tried to compile only the pci-scan.c and the tulip.c drivers:
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes

gcc -DCARDBUS -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c -o

I also tried to add -I/usr/src/linux/include -include
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h
I got less errors with that but it did not work either.
I am not a linux expert. I would really appretiate any suggestions how
to compile the new netdrivers because my SMC EZ 10/100 Cardbus card is
not working with the old drivers. Is there a debian package with the
drivers?
Thank you very much,
Michael
Re: IrDA....
Hi there! First off, I've never tried the irda package that comes whith debian. I always get the source tarball, and it has always worked for me.. Have you tried to load the irda modules by hand? instead of hoping that irattach will do it for you? The error you see in the syslog, is to my knowledge due to you trying to attach a tty that isn't and IR one, or one that doesn't exist. Or maybe it is all because the modules aren't loaded. If you are only interested in sir, you might try the following procedure: insmod irda insmod irtty insmod ircomm insmod ircomm-tty irattach /dev/yourtty -s and then it should work... at least that one has never failed for me. /Johan __ We're Singing The Death Song 'cos We Got No Future On sön, sep 09, 2001 at 09:06:41 -0400, Tom Allison wrote: > OK, I probably did some "bad things" here. > But this is what I've done... > > 1) dselect -> purge -> irda-common, irda-utils > 2) rm /dev/ir* (removed all these various irda related device references) > 3) dselect -> install -> irda-common, irda-utils > > (left the configuration file /etc/irda.conf alone, it looked about right) > > 4) ran 'dpkg-reconfigure irda-common' and did not edit the > /etc/irda.conf file. > > 5) ln -s /dev/ircomm0 /dev/pilot (references) > http://homepage.mac.com/pauljlucas/personal/powerbook/irda.html#modem > http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Infrared-HOWTO/infrared-howto-s-palm-connection.html > > But I can not get any modules loaded according to lsmod... > > syslog keeps dumping irattach: tcsetattr: Input/output error > I'm seriously bummed on this one.

It did work when I tried it now, maybe it has something to do with my current ordering of configuration scripts on bootup... (discover is a hardware detection system.

Well, the only thing I know that really does a lot of configuring based on information supplied externally to your laptop is DHCP. In fact in many cases DHCP may be underutilised, since it can hand out all sorts of information. Most DHCP servers just hand out the IP address, default gateway and nameserver(s) and leave it at that. If by 'completely unknown' you mean even DHCP is not supplied and you have to enter some parameters at boot time then I think your requirement is sufficiently off the wall to be outside most of the existing stuff. If you want to talk a little more privately then I could look at adding some functionality to 'whereami' to support your case a little better.

The sad consequence that sets Toshiba laptops apart from other systems is that they cannot boot an image larger than a standard floppy. Hence the boot image is limited to 1.44MB. But the Potato boot images are 2.88MB (a "newer" floppy format). And that is why the Potato CDs do not boot on Toshiba laptops. Apparently the BIOS from other manufacturers doesn't put the same size limitation on CD boot images. The bit I don't understand is why you can boot from 2.2r0. It doesn't work for me (490CDT).

You can use whereami like this too.

Yes, whereami will reconfigure your mail server for one of three modes: - queue only, for disconnected / dialup operation with a smtp server to relay to when the queue is flushed - relay mode, to deliver mail to a relay immediately on receipt of new messages - none, for when you have a direct internet connection and wish the mail server to do the deliveries itself. Andrew did the sendmail support and I did the postfix support. I'm prepared to do exim support too if there is demand for it. Chris

That's apt-get update, not upgrade. 'update' tells apt to fetch the up-to-date package lists from/for the specified sources. 'dist-upgrade' is similar to upgrade, except that it's a lot more aggressive about installing extra dependencies and stuff, given that it know it has to upgrade across a whole distribution. -- "He was too young to be taken from us."

Wavy Screen using 'Option "Display" "CRT"' on ATI 128 Rage Mobility
I've sent the following message to a couple of the XFree86 mailing lists, and haven't got much back--maybe someone here can help? Thanks. I've been working on a Dell Latitude C600 with an ATI Rage 128 Mobility LF (or something like that). I want to be able to start X up on an external monitor (as opposed to switching using the FN-F8 key combo after X has already started on the LCD). My understanding was that adding the Option "Display" "CRT" line to the Device section would do this--and indeed it does, except that instead of starting up clear (like the screen looks if I switch over using the FN-F8 combo), it's all wavy and jittery--not flicker such as you get with a low refresh rate, but more like every other or every third line of pixels is moving from side to side very rapidly, or something. Like I said, if I use the CRT/LCD button to switch, it works fine. But I want to be able to start up on the CRT so that I can get a better resolution and refresh rate. Any ideas?

Kernal Image
I recently compiled a kernel from v.2.2.19 to v.2.4.4 After the make bzimage command (for those familiar with the process) I was not able to see the file bzImage in the /usr/src/kernel-2.4.4-source/.../i386/boot/ folder. The how-to states a linux folder in the src folder but for some reason it created the kernel-2.4.4-source folder. Anyway, I was expecting to see the bzImage but did not because I needed this to show lilo where to boot the 2.4.4 kernel or at least move the file to the /boot folder to have lilo get to it. Also, I ran bzdisk. Does this erase the bzImage and put it onto the disk and that is the reason I can not find the file? I am new at the compiling but I was happy I could get the kernel to boot from the disk. Thanks for any help.

Must have been a problem with my memory--the wet one. I could have sworn I have (or had) a system here that booted with 0 but not 3, though. Maybe I'm confusing 0 with hamm CDs, which I guess are still floating around here somewhere. Did I use them as rescue disks back when I was getting the PCMCIA on potato-r0 straightened out? Be that as it may, the worst thing is that the Toshiba is very sensitive about boot floppies too. So far I have three for Progeny that fail, all at different stages.

Problems compiling netdrivers
Hi,
I downloaded netdrivers-3.0.1.src.rpm from ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/
I put the driver-sources in /usr/src/modules/netdrivers and tried to
compile them just typing 'make'.

I also tried to add -I/usr/src/linux/include -include
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h
I got less errors with that but it did not work either.
I am not a linux expert. I would really appretiate any suggestions how
to compile the new netdrivers because my SMC EZ 10/100 Cardbus card is
not working with the old drivers. Is there a debian package with the
drivers?
Thank you very much,
Michael

Re: IrDA....
Hi there! First off, I've never tried the irda package that comes whith debian. I always get the source tarball, and it has always worked for me.. Have you tried to load the irda modules by hand? instead of hoping that irattach will do it for you? The error you see in the syslog, is to my knowledge due to you trying to attach a tty that isn't and IR one, or one that doesn't exist. Or maybe it is all because the modules aren't loaded. If you are only interested in sir, you might try the following procedure: insmod irda insmod irtty insmod ircomm insmod ircomm-tty irattach /dev/yourtty -s and then it should work... at least that one has never failed for me. /Johan __ We're Singing The Death Song 'cos We Got No Future On sön, sep 09, 2001 at 09:06:41 -0400, Tom Allison wrote: > OK, I probably did some "bad things" here. > But this is what I've done... > > 1) dselect -> purge -> irda-common, irda-utils > 2) rm /dev/ir* (removed all these various irda related device references) > 3) dselect -> install -> irda-common, irda-utils > > (left the configuration file /etc/irda.conf alone, it looked about right) > > 4) ran 'dpkg-reconfigure irda-common' and did not edit the > /etc/irda.conf file. > > 5) ln -s /dev/ircomm0 /dev/pilot (references) > http://homepage.mac.com/pauljlucas/personal/powerbook/irda.html#modem > http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Infrared-HOWTO/infrared-howto-s-palm-connection.html > > But I can not get any modules loaded according to lsmod... > > syslog keeps dumping irattach: tcsetattr: Input/output error > I'm seriously bummed on this one.

I think, you can use IrDA with the following simple command: irattach /dev/yourtty -s However, it requires proper /etc/modules.conf settings.

I will experiment some more to find out why this didn't seem to work right yesterday. It did work when I tried it now, maybe it has something to do with my current ordering of configuration scripts on bootup... (discover is a hardware detection system. Don't think it does network environment detection too... I know there are others, also don't remember what they are.) I guess these are all for detecting one of a number of preconfigured network settings? Thanks, I may try some more of these on my laptop, but for this little project the network environment is completely unknown.

The sad consequence that sets Toshiba laptops apart from other systems is that they cannot boot an image larger than a standard floppy. Hence the boot image is limited to 1.44MB. But the Potato boot images are 2.88MB (a "newer" floppy format). And that is why the Potato CDs do not boot on Toshiba laptops. Apparently the BIOS from other manufacturers doesn't put the same size limitation on CD boot images. The bit I don't understand is why you can boot from 2.2r0. It doesn't work for me (490CDT).

Well, the only thing I know that really does a lot of configuring based on information supplied externally to your laptop is DHCP. In fact in many cases DHCP may be underutilised, since it can hand out all sorts of information. Most DHCP servers just hand out the IP address, default gateway and nameserver(s) and leave it at that. If by 'completely unknown' you mean even DHCP is not supplied and you have to enter some parameters at boot time then I think your requirement is sufficiently off the wall to be outside most of the existing stuff. If you want to talk a little more privately then I could look at adding some functionality to 'whereami' to support your case a little better.

You can use whereami like this too.

Yes, whereami will reconfigure your mail server for one of three modes: - queue only, for disconnected / dialup operation with a smtp server to relay to when the queue is flushed - relay mode, to deliver mail to a relay immediately on receipt of new messages - none, for when you have a direct internet connection and wish the mail server to do the deliveries itself. Andrew did the sendmail support and I did the postfix support. I'm prepared to do exim support too if there is demand for it.

That's apt-get update, not upgrade. 'update' tells apt to fetch the up-to-date package lists from/for the specified sources. 'dist-upgrade' is similar to upgrade, except that it's a lot more aggressive about installing extra dependencies and stuff, given that it know it has to upgrade across a whole distribution. -- "He was too young to be taken from us."

Wavy Screen using 'Option "Display" "CRT"' on ATI 128 Rage Mobility
I've sent the following message to a couple of the XFree86 mailing lists, and haven't got much back--maybe someone here can help? Thanks. I've been working on a Dell Latitude C600 with an ATI Rage 128 Mobility LF (or something like that). I want to be able to start X up on an external monitor (as opposed to switching using the FN-F8 key combo after X has already started on the LCD). My understanding was that adding the Option "Display" "CRT" line to the Device section would do this--and indeed it does, except that instead of starting up clear (like the screen looks if I switch over using the FN-F8 combo), it's all wavy and jittery--not flicker such as you get with a low refresh rate, but more like every other or every third line of pixels is moving from side to side very rapidly, or something. Like I said, if I use the CRT/LCD button to switch, it works fine. But I want to be able to start up on the CRT so that I can get a better resolution and refresh rate. Any ideas?

Kernal Image
I recently compiled a kernel from v.2.2.19 to v.2.4.4 After the make bzimage command (for those familiar with the process) I was not able to see the file bzImage in the /usr/src/kernel-2.4.4-source/.../i386/boot/ folder. The how-to states a linux folder in the src folder but for some reason it created the kernel-2.4.4-source folder. Anyway, I was expecting to see the bzImage but did not because I needed this to show lilo where to boot the 2.4.4 kernel or at least move the file to the /boot folder to have lilo get to it. Also, I ran bzdisk. Does this erase the bzImage and put it onto the disk and that is the reason I can not find the file? I am new at the compiling but I was happy I could get the kernel to boot from the disk. Thanks for any help. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

When I upgraded potato -> woody, the only glitch was some dependencies concerning perl 5.6, libc 2.2, and APT. It ended up that apt,(which uses perl) started barfing up on me because the old libc was still installed but perl had been upgraded first...

Must have been a problem with my memory--the wet one. I could have sworn I have (or had) a system here that booted with 0 but not 3, though. Maybe I'm confusing 0 with hamm CDs, which I guess are still floating around here somewhere. Did I use them as rescue disks back when I was getting the PCMCIA on potato-r0 straightened out? Be that as it may, the worst thing is that the Toshiba is very sensitive about boot floppies too. So far I have three for Progeny that fail, all at different stages.

IR success!(was info: fixed irda-common upgrade to woody)
Well I was able to get the printer (a BJC-80) working with the Linux IRDA stack. I think it had something to do with my kernel configuration. I was using the 2.4.8 kernel with the entire IRDA stack modularized. After the successful installation of the irda-common and irda-tools packages, the output of my irdadump and ifconfig only showed tx packets. Over the weekend, I configured the 2.4.9 kernel with CONFIG_IRDA built in and modularized all the drivers. (IRCOMM, IRTTY, IRCOMM-TTY, etc, etc) This seemed to do the trick. The IR stack found my printer (and phone) with no problems and I was able to configure the printer using apsfilterconfig (serial, /dev/ircomm0 , 115200) . It did slow my internet connection way down - I found out it was sharing IRQ 3 w/ the PC modem. Reinserting the modem assigned IRQ 9 to it and everybody was happy. My system is a Dell Inspiron 7000D. I set the BIOS to SIR (it was set to FIR - this seems to be why the printer's IR port didn't work in Windows, either) Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
