Do you have configured your interfaces config file proper? You can find it in /etc/network/interfaces. You also need the package ifupdown. It configures your network interfaces based on the definitions in the interfaces config file (e.g. on startup).

USB wireless adapter auto startup
Hi all! I recently got a USB wireless adapter( GW-US11H) . It required a patched version of linux-wlan-ng.

However , I would like the device can start up autoamatically. How can I make debian be able to do so?

No X on new install

The machine is a Compaq Presario 700US on which I did an ftp install from debian.org using the idepci floppy set. I was a little surprised that the online installation guide doesn't take you through X-setup, I'd have thought that deserves a chapter all its own. Oh well During package download, I simply used tasksel, and selected just about everything except the "Jr." package, Fortran, and the server stuff; which I skipped. I went through the various configuration dialogs (network, etc.) but there was nothing about X. Now that the machine's booted, I can find the various X11 directories, and they're mostly populated, but one thing I have not found is the X server itself. Where's the executable? What's its name?

Actually this is part of the problem. At home i have a connection via a modem to the internet(through a gateway). At school however, the connection goes via a LAN and router. I was able to get the network running from home. I installed the package laptop-net that uses debconf to guide the installation and it worked. However, i am not sure how to handle two sets of networks--is there a way the laptop can detect which network its on and get on it or do i need two sets of /etc/interfaces/network files? Essentially i want to have a /etc/interfaces/network file that does something like if @home then eth0 uses first network else [EMAIL PROTECTED] then eth0 uses the school network else eth0 uses available network(or atleast tries to) I installed the whereami package which i thought should do that but i was'nt able to get that to work.

Reading those, you will feel better if you read the docu first, then try it yourself and use google to advance. If you want to use linux, you'll have to spend a lot of time reading docu, man, info, on the web. Lists like this one are there to help you _after_ you have tried a lot on your own.

On the other hand, when you do an 'if-up ppp0' (or whatever your modem device is), if-up sets everything so that the network 'knows' that traffic will go out there and not use the LAN connection (which is eth0 and will be down if no cable is connected). Okay, this gets complicated. Read Network-Howto, Modem-Howto and what ever the point you at to understand what networking is about and how you can influence it. If you understand it, you'll not need pre-build scripts since you could do it by hand with only a few commands.

All you have requested so far (except for the Xfree-Stuff) are working pretty well in stable. Networking is _basic_ stuff and _stable_.

Replacing XFree 4.0 with 4.3 and Gnome 1.4 with 2.2 will replace at least half of your system. So expect it to take some time (i.e. 2 or more hours even with a good network connection) only for the installation itself. But configuring the update may take even longer for _you_. Second, to upgrade XFree, put those lines in your sources.list, then run apt-get update and afterwards do a apt-cache policy xserver-xfree86 This will tell you what version is installed and what the candidate for an upgrade would be and where apt would get that new one from. If that all goes well, post the result of the last step here and we'll see if we can get you further. 'till then...

detecting which eth0 config [was Re: gdm fails]
I used whereami (worked) and then guessnet (worked better) and now a little script that's still a little rough. Basically it outputs "work" or "home" or "site" based on ifconfig eth0 up # bring up eth0 without ip if arping | grep -q ; then echo work elif arping | grep -q ; then echo home ... ifconfig eth0 down # take ifconfig back down so ifup can doit 'right' for this net I use the form of arping that's mac-only, but I don't remember the opts for that right now. Anyho, your script can then be put into the 'script' line of your eth0 stanza (read man interfaces to find out about the script line). If you still need help tomorrow, let me know and I'll get the full config off my laptop. Tony According to Aswin Venkat, > > > Hi all- > > > > > > Well, this is not that easy.

Do you have configured your interfaces config file proper? You can find it in /etc/network/interfaces. You also need the package ifupdown. It configures your network interfaces based on the definitions in the interfaces config file (e.g. on startup). Martin Brenda WWW: www.martinbrenda.de

USB wireless adapter auto startup
Hi all! I recently got a USB wireless adapter( GW-US11H) . It required a patched version of linux-wlan-ng. I have patched the source and install it After I added the configuration of wlan0 to /etc/network/interfaces , and then I can use "ifup wlan0" to start up the device and gain IP through DHCP successfully. However , I would like the device can start up autoamatically. How can I make debian be able to do so? Thanks for any help! p.s that is my /etc/network/interfaces iface wlan0 inet dhcp wireless_mode managed wireless_nick mylaptop wireless_enc off wireless_channel 1

The machine is a Compaq Presario 700US on which I did an ftp install from debian.org using the idepci floppy set. I was a little surprised that the online installation guide doesn't take you through X-setup, I'd have thought that deserves a chapter all its own. Oh well During package download, I simply used tasksel, and selected just about everything except the "Jr." package, Fortran, and the server stuff; which I skipped. I went through the various configuration dialogs (network, etc.) but there was nothing about X. Now that the machine's booted, I can find the various X11 directories, and they're mostly populated, but one thing I have not found is the X server itself. Where's the executable? What's its name?

Actually this is part of the problem. At home i have a connection via a modem to the internet(through a gateway). At school however, the connection goes via a LAN and router. I was able to get the network running from home. I installed the package laptop-net that uses debconf to guide the installation and it worked. However, i am not sure how to handle two sets of networks--is there a way the laptop can detect which network its on and get on it or do i need two sets of /etc/interfaces/network files?

Reading those, you will feel better if you read the docu first, then try it yourself and use google to advance.

On the other hand, when you do an 'if-up ppp0' (or whatever your modem device is), if-up sets everything so that the network 'knows' that traffic will go out there and not use the LAN connection (which is eth0 and will be down if no cable is connected). Okay, this gets complicated. Read Network-Howto, Modem-Howto and what ever the point you at to understand what networking is about and how you can influence it. If you understand it, you'll not need pre-build scripts since you could do it by hand with only a few commands. To start with, read the laptop-net manual. > I installed the whereami package which i thought should do that but i > was'nt able to get that to work.

All you have requested so far (except for the Xfree-Stuff) are working pretty well in stable. Networking is _basic_ stuff and _stable_.

Replacing XFree 4.0 with 4.3 and Gnome 1.4 with 2.2 will replace at least half of your system. So expect it to take some time (i.e. 2 or more hours even with a good network connection) only for the installation itself. But configuring the update may take even longer for _you_. Second, to upgrade XFree, put those lines in your sources.list, then run apt-get update and afterwards do a apt-cache policy xserver-xfree86 This will tell you what version is installed and what the candidate for an upgrade would be and where apt would get that new one from.

detecting which eth0 config [was Re: gdm fails]
I used whereami (worked) and then guessnet (worked better) and now a little script that's still a little rough. Basically it outputs "work" or "home" or "site" based on ifconfig eth0 up # bring up eth0 without ip if arping | grep -q ; then echo work elif arping | grep -q ; then echo home ... ifconfig eth0 down # take ifconfig back down so ifup can doit 'right' for this net I use the form of arping that's mac-only, but I don't remember the opts for that right now. Anyho, your script can then be put into the 'script' line of your eth0 stanza (read man interfaces to find out about the script line). If you still need help tomorrow, let me know and I'll get the full config off my laptop. Tony According to Aswin Venkat, > > > Hi all- > > > > > > Well, this is not that easy.

I think the problem was the "device_gid=29" in the options line for the snd module: options snd major=116 cards_limit=2 device_gid=29 device_mode=0660 I took the device_gid=29 and re-ran update-modules and "depmod -a" and now it all loads okay. I'm not getting any sound yet... but I'm further along than I was. - Joe
