Wi-Fi newbie...
Hello all, I want to implement a Wireless connection of my laptop & desktop box at home (both debian sid) however I'm a complete newbie on that subject & will like to learn things. Is there any good site for *linux-only* Wi-Fi stuff, like how-tos, hardware compatibility, wep etc ? A quick googling I did showed only windoze-friendly sites. -- Manolis Tzanidakis (mtzanidakis-at-freemail-dot-gr) Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 102798230 GnuPG Key Fingerprint: 5CA5 41D6 09F1 C4B9 C331 65EF 4B3F 6979 EB8C 88F3 Get my public key at: pgp.mit.edu pgpnzmkyzeF2G.pgp Description: PGP signature
apache
Hello,
I tried to set up apache to read dhelp and info2www with my browser, and to
learn more about networking also.
I've got two questions that aren't strictly laptop-related, but so far i
didn't get any reply from other lists, and i know some experienced networkers
listening on this port ;-)
(1) Makes sense to start apache from inetd ?
-
In this special case, it's not neccessary to run server processes all the
time. So i removed the rc symlink, and configured:
# /etc/inetd.conf:
www stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/apache
# hosts.allow:
www: LOCAL, piro.pironic, piro2000.winlan /usr/sbin/apache
(occasionally connected with other boxes)
# hosts.deny:
---
It seems any server process is terminated immediateley after every single
request from a broser. In other words, a 'ps aux' doesn't show any apache
process when my browser opens localhost:80; only a 'top' does for short.
Every single page request newly starts apache from inetd.
This menas a really slow performance.
I hope my config somehow is suboptimal ?
Or is this behavior unevitable with inetd.
I attach the httpd.conf at the end.
(2) Where is mime_magic ?
This is probabIy more debian-related...
# /var/log/apache/error.log:
>>
[Wed Jul 2 19:09:08 2003] [error] (2)No such file or directory:
mod_mime_magic: can't read magic file /etc/apache/share/magic
<<
httpd.conf says it's expected to be like "MIMEMagicFile share/magic",
but there's no directory 'share' in the server-root at all;
i notice only a symlink to the file /etc/mime.types.
Can i do sth ?
greets

ide CD Bruner
Does anybody know if cdrecord recently supports ide burning ? I look for a *bootable* CD rw that is supported by linux ide burning ... any model hints ? I've exchanged the original cd with a teac W 24E CD rw, and now the lap doesn't boot no more from cd. Is this a well-known effect ? It's an Dell Inspiron 5000 manufactured around 1999/2000, BIOS A08. -- mi

That's exactly right. Whenever a request comes in on port 80, inetd starts up an apache process to handle it. Once the request is completed, inetd kills the apache process. If you want to run apache as a daemon, run it from the /etc/init.d/ start up scripts.

You might just need to upgrade apache. Otherwise, if you comment out the line: MIMEMagicFile share/magic in your apache config, you shouldn't get this error anymore. >From the apache docs: This module determines the MIME type of files in the same way the Unix file(1) command works: it looks at the first few bytes of the file. It is intended as a "second line of defense" for cases that mod_mime can't resolve. I wouldn't be too concerned about removing this functionality, as I imagine it's rarely needed. I bet someone will chime in now with the many times this has been really useful for them and I'll be suitably shameful... Cheers, Paul.
DMA Problem
Hi folks, I already asked about this issue once but didn't get any answers so I try it again. I have an IBM Thinkpad A31p with Debian sarge + some sid packages on it. Recently I updated to kernel 2.4.21 but with this kernel it seems not to be possible to change into DMA mode. (it was possible with 2.4.20). A "hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda" reports: /dev/hda: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted using_dma= 0 (off) Has anybody a hint why this can happen or at least where I can get some answers?

I think I'm right in saying that pre 2.5 kernels do not support native IDE burning... Also, reading this: http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/post-halloween-2.5.txt suggests that the 2.5 kernel series _does_ do native IDE burning, but only with a new version of cdrecord.

This should give you some indication of if can handle DMA. If you find It can't, you may need specific kernel drivers to enable it. I, for example, have an NForce2 chipset which works ok with generic IDE support, but won't do DMA transfers (or mode changes) without a patch. cheers, Matt -- Matt Foster [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mattfoster.clara.co.uk icq: 106411042

After I sent that copy, I realized I should have *only* sent it here ... sorry!] When I boot my Dell laptop with the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel, my PCMCIA card is recognized properly and I can access our local Ethernet. When using 2.4.18-686, however, I get the following error message during booting and the "eth0" device is "unknown": /lib/modules/2.4.18-686/pcmcia/i82365.o: unresolved symbol \ isapnp_find_dev_R9991be23 The value of "PCIC" in /etc/default/pcmcia is "i82365". The board is a Xircom. When booting into the '686' kernel, the board doesn't appear to be recognized. This is what I see in "/var/log/messages: Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22 options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] ds: no socket drivers loaded! Does anyone know how to get the card functional with 2.4.18-686? Maybe I'm missing a module and/or configuration option?

So unfortunately, it does die after each connection. It may serve a number of requests on that connection. i.e. with the keep-alive header. This process will only handle requests from a a single host for a short period though. e.g. images found on the same page. Perhaps a number of connections from the same proxy might be handled by a single process. Only serving a single connection makes sense to me, as otherwise it seems to defeat the purpose of using inetd in the first place. In any event, I doubt the apache authors are likely to make a semi-daemon-inetd (i.e. one that doesn't immediatley die) version of apache. If you want a daemon, run it as one. Cheers, Paul.

However if Apache does the wrong thing (eg goes into an infinite loop in a library - something I've seen many times) then it may run forever if there is nothing to stop it. inetd will not stop it. For Apache run as a daemon I've put in a ulimit on the CPU time to solve this problem (in a normal situation no Apache process will use 1H of CPU time, so killing such a process is only doing good). Maybe one of the more capable inetd's would allow you to set the ulimit before spawning a process, otherwise a wrapper script would do the job. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
Re: DMA Problem
as far as I know the '*' doesn't indicate the current state of the Drive it only indicates the standard setting of the Firmware. But some how this isn't used in my case. And I suppose that if it would be already enabled a "hdparm /dev/hda" wouldn't report this: /dev/hda: multcount= 16 (on) IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq= 0 (off) using_dma= 0 (off) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead= 8 (on) geometry = 7752/240/63, sectors = 117210240, start = 0 and I think with enabled DMA I should be able to copy Files from that HD faster than at 2MB/s (At least this is the case on my colleague's notebook ;-) ). greets Marcel On Mon, 2003-07-07 at 00:59, Matt Foster wrote: > Quoting Marcel Gschwandl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > > the HD should be able to handle DMA because I was able to enable it with > > hdparm and an kernel 2.4.20. > > > > output of "hdparm -I /dev/hda": > > > > > > /dev/hda: > > > > DMA: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 *udma5 > > Cycle time: min=120ns recommended=120ns > > Well, this bit seems to show the driver operating at udma5, which means > DMA100.

apache
Hello,
I tried to set up apache to read dhelp and info2www with my browser, and to
learn more about networking also.
I've got two questions that aren't strictly laptop-related, but so far i
didn't get any reply from other lists, and i know some experienced networkers
listening on this port ;-)
(1) Makes sense to start apache from inetd ?
-
In this special case, it's not neccessary to run server processes all the
time. So i removed the rc symlink, and configured:
# /etc/inetd.conf:
www stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/apache
# hosts.allow:
www: LOCAL, piro.pironic, piro2000.winlan /usr/sbin/apache
(occasionally connected with other boxes)
# hosts.deny:
---
It seems any server process is terminated immediateley after every single
request from a broser. In other words, a 'ps aux' doesn't show any apache
process when my browser opens localhost:80; only a 'top' does for short.
Every single page request newly starts apache from inetd.
This menas a really slow performance.
I hope my config somehow is suboptimal ?
Or is this behavior unevitable with inetd.
I attach the httpd.conf at the end.
(2) Where is mime_magic ?
This is probabIy more debian-related...
# /var/log/apache/error.log:
>>
[Wed Jul 2 19:09:08 2003] [error] (2)No such file or directory:
mod_mime_magic: can't read magic file /etc/apache/share/magic
<<
httpd.conf says it's expected to be like "MIMEMagicFile share/magic",
but there's no directory 'share' in the server-root at all;
i notice only a symlink to the file /etc/mime.types.
Can i do sth ?

That's exactly right. Whenever a request comes in on port 80, inetd starts up an apache process to handle it. Once the request is completed, inetd kills the apache process.

You might just need to upgrade apache.

This should give you some indication of if can handle DMA. If you find It can't, you may need specific kernel drivers to enable it.

Re: DMA Problem
This shouldn't be a problem because my laptop is an IBM A31p which means P4-M 2.0GHz and an Intel i845 chipset. And I know this configuration works because to of my friends have the same notebook and it works just fine there. But we were not able to figure out what's the difference between their machines and mine.

Intel PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN PC Card PCMCIA
Hi all, I got this card: "Intel PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN PC Card PCMCIA" Does anyone one of you managed to make this card work in rfmon (monitor mode)? It should be an orinoco chipset and works fine in normal condition but, even if the driver are patched, the card seems to not support monitor mode. Does anyone out there found the right solution and made this card work? Since I'm going to buy a different PCMCIA wireless card could someone suggest me a card not too much expensive which supports rfmon? thanks in advance pietro lupi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

IRDA on asus L3tp
Hi all, I'm curious to know if someone out there has IRDA working on ASUS L3TP I can't even see the tty entry in the output dmesg dmesg | grep -i tty ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A which is the standard serial! no irda reference found! how can i make this thing appear to work on it? I have read a lot of docs to make IRDA work withr linux but everything seems to refer to a serial emulation of irda which i can't see. thanks pietro lupi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

PCMCIA Networkcard Problem after Kernel 2.4.18
I had kernel 2.2.20 and anything was fine. I format the Harddisk and made a compl. new installation. I install debian base with kenel 2.4.18, and I am not getting my PCMCIA Networkcard running, I tryed many moduls, and also the manifactur install readme about linux, but it is not working with the kernel 2.4.18. I have a Sanyo Winkey MBC-S800 Laptop (Japanese one), Intel P-200MHz MMX, 81MB Ram, 6.1GB. The PCMCIA Networkcard is a: Linksys EtherFast 10/100 + 56K Modem PC Card (PCMLN56) Well, unter the kernal 2.2.20 was this card running fine, I used the modul arcnet and it workt perfektly... when I do this modul with the kernel 2.4.18, the modul will not load, also the tulib modul, the same... I hope someone can help me... thanks, your cyber-alvin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2.4.18-686 kernel, but no PCMCIA
[Sorry if you already saw this on 'debian-user'. After I sent that copy, I realized I should have *only* sent it here ... sorry!] When I boot my Dell laptop with the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel, my PCMCIA card is recognized properly and I can access our local Ethernet. When using 2.4.18-686, however, I get the following error message during booting and the "eth0" device is "unknown": /lib/modules/2.4.18-686/pcmcia/i82365.o: unresolved symbol \ isapnp_find_dev_R9991be23 The value of "PCIC" in /etc/default/pcmcia is "i82365". The board is a Xircom. When booting into the '686' kernel, the board doesn't appear to be recognized. This is what I see in "/var/log/messages: Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22 options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] ds: no socket drivers loaded! Does anyone know how to get the card functional with 2.4.18-686? Maybe I'm missing a module and/or configuration option?

So unfortunately, it does die after each connection. It may serve a number of requests on that connection. i.e. with the keep-alive header. This process will only handle requests from a a single host for a short period though. e.g. images found on the same page. Perhaps a number of connections from the same proxy might be handled by a single process. Only serving a single connection makes sense to me, as otherwise it seems to defeat the purpose of using inetd in the first place. In any event, I doubt the apache authors are likely to make a semi-daemon-inetd (i.e. one that doesn't immediatley die) version of apache. If you want a daemon, run it as one.

However if Apache does the wrong thing (eg goes into an infinite loop in a library - something I've seen many times) then it may run forever if there is nothing to stop it. inetd will not stop it. For Apache run as a daemon I've put in a ulimit on the CPU time to solve this problem (in a normal situation no Apache process will use 1H of CPU time, so killing such a process is only doing good). Maybe one of the more capable inetd's would allow you to set the ulimit before spawning a process, otherwise a wrapper script would do the job. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: DMA Problem
as far as I know the '*' doesn't indicate the current state of the Drive it only indicates the standard setting of the Firmware. But some how this isn't used in my case. And I suppose that if it would be already enabled a "hdparm /dev/hda" wouldn't report this: /dev/hda: multcount= 16 (on) IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq= 0 (off) using_dma= 0 (off) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead= 8 (on) geometry = 7752/240/63, sectors = 117210240, start = 0 and I think with enabled DMA I should be able to copy Files from that HD faster than at 2MB/s (At least this is the case on my colleague's notebook ;-) ). greets Marcel On Mon, 2003-07-07 at 00:59, Matt Foster wrote: > Quoting Marcel Gschwandl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > > the HD should be able to handle DMA because I was able to enable it with > > hdparm and an kernel 2.4.20. > > > > output of "hdparm -I /dev/hda": > > > > > > /dev/hda: > > > > DMA: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 *udma5 > > Cycle time: min=120ns recommended=120ns > > Well, this bit seems to show the driver operating at udma5, which means > DMA100.
