[Fwd: SOLUTION: getting LevelOne wireless to work on Toshiba]
All, failing any info, I kept looking ... and finally found the solution. Maybe interesting to others. I could finally test the card in win98 on the same machine using new drivers (previous windoze crashed) and noticed the irq assigned to the card was 15 and i/o range 1000 to 103f. On the rare occassions I got it to work on debian, it used irq3. Found some excellent info on http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ from JeanTourrilhes, suggesting I should use the orinoco driver after all (wvlan is no longer developped) and that most problems are configuration issues in config.opts :-) I edited config.opts not to use irq3 anymore and enabled inclusion of high I/O ports above 0x1000 (just commented out existing line...). I put back wireless.opts and config back to the install defaults and look ! It works like a charm now. -- See you on the bitstream, Alain --- Alain Geenrits email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]icq: 13942850 --- Begin Message --- Hi all, Used to work with SuSE all the time, but now I have seen the light and trying to get Debian to work on my Toshiba Portege 3020CT "roadwarrior" :-) My wireless NIC is a LevelOne WPC-0100. There is a known issue in SuSE where the card is falsely recognized as an Orinoco, but this website claims it should be wvlan: http://www.prl.dk/linux/ I added a line to config in /etc/pcmcia looking like this : card "Digital Data Communications" manfid 0x0156, 0x0002 bind "wvlan_cs" and edited wireless.opts to look like this : # Lucent Wavelan IEEE (+ Orinoco, RoamAbout and ELSA) # Note : wvlan_cs driver only, and version 1.0.4+ for encryption support *,*,*,00:60:1D:*|*,*,*,00:02:2D:*|*,*,*,00:01:24:*) INFO="Wavelan IEEE example (Lucent default settings)" ESSID="default" MODE="Managed" RATE="auto" #KEY="s:secu1" # To set all four keys, use : # KEY="s:secu1 [1] key s:secu2 [2] key s:secu3 [3] key s:secu4 [4] key [1]" # For the RG 1000 Residential Gateway: The ESSID is the identifier on # the unit, and the default key is the last 5 digits of the same. # ESSID="084d70" # KEY="s:84d70" ;; where the 00:01:24 is the start of my WPC-0100 MAC address.

All debian (installation) packages have a source package which in turn is built from an upstream tarball + a patch to apply any debian related changes. But for the kernel, you might as well just get the vanilla tarball from kernel.org if you need to apply your own patches: The magic all resides in make-kpkg anyway, and afaik it's only the most recent debian kernels that have had any patches applied at all (bicbw about this).

DELL Inspiron and some problems
Hello * I have a big problem with a DELL Inspiron 8100. After nearly a year working with this machine running Debian Woody, I suddenly had some problems with the fans. After a suspend-to-RAM, and the wake-up 5 Minutes later, it startet with running both at full speed - even after I cooled down the computer for more than an hour (so I'm sure, it is not too hot). The DELL support told me to update the BIOS (it was A08, now I updated up to A14): Result: the fans are working correctly now (Why? Questions over questions), but now I have problems with the keyboard and the clock is loosing around 5 Minutes an hour. :-( But the more anoying problem is the keyboard: it swallows some letters from time to time (around 6 letters when writing about 3 sentences). DELL support changed the keyboard, but this did not help. So my question is: is here someone around who made the same or similar experience. And of course even more interesting: is there some possibllity to cure this "desease"[1]. Maybe some kernel options to set[2]. I would try to downgrade the BIOS again (but this seems to be not so easy, as the support told me, and of course not recommended by them. The new one is better, they say). [1]DELLs solution now: take one of our supported OS (AKA Windoze). =:-/ [2] Kernel is 2.4.20.

On an unrelated note, I see you _aren't_ storing UTC in your hardware clock: It's generally a sensible thing to keep your hardware clock set to UTC (GMT) unless you need to use an OS that is horribly broken wrt to timekeeping.

The normal way to use an audio CD is not to mount it (although you can do so under certain conditions).

Re: Dlink-650
I used this card for almost 5 years on a IBM 760XL Thinkpad with Redhat 5.2 - 7.3, Mandrake 7 - 9, Suse 7 - 8, and Debian (something like 1.3). I don't remember it giving any problems with any distributions. I do remember a slight problem when I upgraded a 2.2 kernel to 2.4 because then the card was managed by the kernel. I can't remember for sure which module this card usedIts been over a year since I used it. After I did a clean reinstall instead of upgrade from 2.2 to 2.4, there were never any problems.card was auto-detected.

Hmm. This is strange. After you shut down the machine, did you disconnect the power and take the battery out to make sure that nothing inside could still be "alive"?

Thanks. Older DWL-650 is the Prism chipset, but I believe recent ones are not supported under Linux. Perhaps that only applies to the "22MB" DWL-650+ (which definitely isn't supported yet). For the Prism based ones you can use the hostap drivers, the kernel PCMCIA drivers, the drivers in the standard PCMCIA or the WLAN-NG drivers. I've had success with all of these.

[Fwd: SOLUTION: getting LevelOne wireless to work on Toshiba]
All, failing any info, I kept looking ... and finally found the solution. Maybe interesting to others. I could finally test the card in win98 on the same machine using new drivers (previous windoze crashed) and noticed the irq assigned to the card was 15 and i/o range 1000 to 103f. On the rare occassions I got it to work on debian, it used irq3. Found some excellent info on http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ from JeanTourrilhes, suggesting I should use the orinoco driver after all (wvlan is no longer developped) and that most problems are configuration issues in config.opts :-) I edited config.opts not to use irq3 anymore and enabled inclusion of high I/O ports above 0x1000 (just commented out existing line...). I put back wireless.opts and config back to the install defaults and look ! It works like a charm now. -- See you on the bitstream, Alain --- Alain Geenrits email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]icq: 13942850 --- Begin Message --- Hi all, Used to work with SuSE all the time, but now I have seen the light and trying to get Debian to work on my Toshiba Portege 3020CT "roadwarrior" :-) My wireless NIC is a LevelOne WPC-0100. There is a known issue in SuSE where the card is falsely recognized as an Orinoco, but this website claims it should be wvlan: http://www.prl.dk/linux/ I added a line to config in /etc/pcmcia looking like this : card "Digital Data Communications" manfid 0x0156, 0x0002 bind "wvlan_cs" and edited wireless.opts to look like this : # Lucent Wavelan IEEE (+ Orinoco, RoamAbout and ELSA) # Note : wvlan_cs driver only, and version 1.0.4+ for encryption support *,*,*,00:60:1D:*|*,*,*,00:02:2D:*|*,*,*,00:01:24:*) INFO="Wavelan IEEE example (Lucent default settings)" ESSID="default" MODE="Managed" RATE="auto" #KEY="s:secu1" # To set all four keys, use : # KEY="s:secu1 [1] key s:secu2 [2] key s:secu3 [3] key s:secu4 [4] key [1]" # For the RG 1000 Residential Gateway: The ESSID is the identifier on # the unit, and the default key is the last 5 digits of the same. # ESSID="084d70" # KEY="s:84d70" ;; where the 00:01:24 is the start of my WPC-0100 MAC address.

DELL Inspiron and some problems

After nearly a year working with this machine running Debian Woody, I suddenly had some problems with the fans. After a suspend-to-RAM, and the wake-up 5 Minutes later, it startet with running both at full speed - even after I cooled down the computer for more than an hour (so I'm sure, it is not too hot). The DELL support told me to update the BIOS (it was A08, now I updated up to A14): Result: the fans are working correctly now (Why? Questions over questions), but now I have problems with the keyboard and the clock is loosing around 5 Minutes an hour. :-( But the more anoying problem is the keyboard: it swallows some letters from time to time (around 6 letters when writing about 3 sentences). DELL support changed the keyboard, but this did not help. So my question is: is here someone around who made the same or similar experience. And of course even more interesting: is there some possibllity to cure this "desease"[1]. Maybe some kernel options to set[2].

As far as I've been able to track the problem, it happens when you change power modes while the laptop is suspended. i.e. Pulling out the AC cord or inserting it while the laptop is suspended.

Re: DWL-650 Dlink Wireless Card
I have one that works okay. Here's my setup: Thinkpad 600E running Unstable, custom-built 2.4.20 kernel without kernel PCMCIA support. I'm using pcmcia-cs to run the wireless card. I also installed the wireless-tools package to configure the necessary wireless info (essid, wep key, etc.) with iwconfig. Diego Armando wrote: Hello, someone has experience with this pcmcia card?

If it is a DFE-650 (should work for DE-650 too), you need this lines in your kernel-config: CONFIG_NET_PCMCIA=y CONFIG_PCMCIA_PCNET=m Detecting the Card then works automagic for me. If not, try loading the modules ds, 8390 and pcnet_cs. HTH, Björn -- BOFH excuse #418: Sysadmins busy fighting SPAM. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

xfree86 on AcerTravelMate 620
Hej Debian users, have a problem to setup debian on my laptop! Here is my configuration: Acer TravelMate 620 Graphic Card: Intel i830 SXGA LCD Display: 1400x1050 So first of all I have the unstable version of debian installed. Then I downloaded the driver from Intel, made a kernel update to 2.4.18! Now xserver-xfree86 4.2.1 runs with gdm and metacity as windowmanager! Here’s the problem: Can’t configure xserver for 1400x1050 tried to make it by hand à no effect!! Get only a picture about 800x600 or something in this way, is only a little picture compared with my display ;-)) If a enable Screen Expansion (I need this for windows) I don’t get nice pictures So did anybody have the same problem, or could you send me your XF86Config File?? Thanks in advance Herbert Volkmann

Hmm. This is strange. After you shut down the machine, did you disconnect the power and take the battery out to make sure that nothing inside could still be "alive"?

Thanks. Older DWL-650 is the Prism chipset, but I believe recent ones are not supported under Linux. Perhaps that only applies to the "22MB" DWL-650+ (which definitely isn't supported yet). For the Prism based ones you can use the hostap drivers, the kernel PCMCIA drivers, the drivers in the standard PCMCIA or the WLAN-NG drivers. I've had success with all of these.
