It appears that the card is up and running, but you just need to get IP 
configured.  If you know DHCP is available on the WLAN, try requesting an 
IP address using "dhclient eth2".  If this works, then all you need to do 
is add "eth2" to your /etc/network/interfaces file so next time eth2 comes 
up, the ifupdown script will automaticallly run the dhcp client on that 
interface.

Toshiba Libretto 50CT

2004-09-16 Thread Willie McKemie
I have install Libranet 2.8 (mostly Sarge) on a drive which I then 
installed in my (new to me) Libretto.  Everything except pcmcia went 
smoothly.  When pcmcia wasn't detected, I searched around a bit and 
found that many Toshibas use a relatively rare Toshiba pcmcia chip.  I 
decided that this chip was supposed to be controlled by module tcic 
rather than the more common yenta_socket.  However, no joy there; 
"insmod tcic" told me "no device found".

Can someone straighten me out?  It is possible that pcmcia hardware is 
broken; I have not used it with any other OS.

Sound on Compaq Armada 7xxx

I have a wide variety of Armada 77xx, 73xx, 7400, & 7800.  I have never 
gotten satisfactory sound out of any of them.  Sound is generally 
detected or easily configured (SB compatible ESS).  However, generated 
sound is always "disjointed"; there seems to be holes or 
discontinuities in the output.  Does anyone have sound working of one 
of these types of Armadas?

Re: place order

I was surprised to find that the "large sum of money" which they send
to you can take the form of a bank cashier's check.  It may take
several days before your bank discovers that the check is no good, and
then sticks you for the amount.  The scammer hopes, of course, that
you have already sent him/her the "smaller sum of money".

Probably a ToPic something or similar?

yenta_socket is primarily for Cardbus-compatible 32bit controllers. My 
3480CT allows a BIOS choice of Cardbus or 16bit-Compatible for the PCMCIA 
controller. The former works with yenta_socket, but you might try the 
latter. It then might even work with the i82365 driver, so it does on my 
box.

By the way, have you tried http://www.linux-laptop.net?

Best regards,
  Frank

Re: Help with Dell 1150 wireless card in Dell 5100

Hi,

I have a dell 5100 with a dell 1150 wireless card.  The card worked 
under Mandrake, but I cannot get it to work with Debian testing 
(2.6.7-2 kernel). Iwconfig produces:


eth2  IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:"Admin-Wireless"  Nickname:"HERMES I"
  Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.457GHz  Access Point: 
44:44:44:44:44:44

  Bit Rate:2Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm   Sensitivity:1/3
  Retry limit:4   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
  Encryption key:
  Power Management:off
  Link Quality=0/92  Signal level=134/153  Noise level=134/153
  Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
  Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

wavemon shows the card, but i am not connected.  I have checked the 
password and ESSID with the lan admin and they are correct.  Any ideas 
on how to troubleshoot this are appreciated.  I do not think I need to 
recompile the kernel because I can see the card.



It appears that the card is up and running, but you just need to get IP 
configured.  If you know DHCP is available on the WLAN, try requesting 
an IP address using "dhclient eth2".  If this works, then all you need 
to do is add "eth2" to your /etc/network/interfaces file so next time 
eth2 comes up, the ifupdown script will automaticallly run the dhcp 
client on that interface.

I have tried ifconfig and dhcclient with no luck.  They seem to not see 
the network.

Probably a ToPic something or similar?

yenta_socket is primarily for Cardbus-compatible 32bit controllers. My 
3480CT allows a BIOS choice of Cardbus or 16bit-Compatible for the PCMCIA 
controller. The former works with yenta_socket, but you might try the 
latter. It then might even work with the i82365 driver, so it does on my 
box.

By the way, have you tried http://www.linux-laptop.net?

Best regards,
  Frank

Re: Sound on Compaq Armada 7xxx

I have a wide variety of Armada 77xx, 73xx, 7400, & 7800.  I have never 
gotten satisfactory sound out of any of them.  Sound is generally 
detected or easily configured (SB compatible ESS).  However, generated 
sound is always "disjointed"; there seems to be holes or 
discontinuities in the output.  Does anyone have sound working of one 
of these types of Armadas?


Yes, on an Armada 7400. It works fine ;)
