Re: Newbie Question (again (: )
I have a GR150K which also have a SoundMAX (according to windows). I've tried alsa and OSS with recent 2.4 ac kernels. The ac87/i810 modules will load and report the presence of the card but /dev/mixer and /dev/dsp don't seem to work correctly. If you cat a bunch of bytes into /dev/dsp it will make modem-like noises but it doesn't seem to support the ioclts of xmms etc.. As soon as 2.4.15 is out (with ac merged in) I was going am going to look deeper into this. First thing to do is turn on debugging for the ac87/i810 modules write some test code and send the results to the maintainer. Anyone ever had any success will SoundMAX on VAIOs?

Just install ifplugd and put the wwwoffle on/offline scripts in
/etc/network/if-{up,down}.d/. I think I filed a bug to have them
included here by default (like in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d).

Hibernate means that all state gets thrown down on the HD and the power goes out. When the power comes on again I get lilo and I can choose my OS. If I choose XP it finds the hibernation data early in it's boot process and loads it. However I don't have to choose XP. I could use linux for a couple of weeks, even reinstall lilo a few times, and still come back to XP and it would find it's hibernation data. So I guess lilo is compatible with windows XP hibernation.

sony vaio success
Apologies for not being strictly debian related ... After 6 months using my sony PCG-GR150K with debian and linux I finally have a *single* kernel that supports everything! I now have a fully working winmodem *and* soundcard *and* accelerated xfree4.2 *and* DVD *and* CDRW using: 2.4.18 + acpi-20020503 + pciirq.19.acpi.diff I had had been booting in 2.5.15 to get my sound card working but it looks like the ACPI stuff fixed the 2.4 sound drivers for my i810_audio which must have been IRQ related. And the ACPI patches also allowed me to run hsflinmodem-5.03 drivers that I am now using. Looks like ACPI is actually very useful already! Anyone want to buy a hardware PCMCIA modem? ;-) sam -- sam clegg :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: http://superduper.net/ :: PGP :: D91EE369 $superduper: .signature,v 1.4 2002/04/27 11:54:02 samc Exp $ pgpB6G4Xxb00S.pgp Description: PGP signature

This will manage /etc/resolve.conf for you and restore your old one when you disconnect.

Hibernate means that all state gets thrown down on the HD and the power goes out. When the power comes on again I get lilo and I can choose my OS. If I choose XP it finds the hibernation data early in it's boot process and loads it. However I don't have to choose XP. I could use linux for a couple of weeks, even reinstall lilo a few times, and still come back to XP and it would find it's hibernation data. So I guess lilo is compatible with windows XP hibernation. AFAIK, linux swsusp (SysReq-d) does the same thing as XP hibernation. i.e. It detects the hibernation during kernel boot. Doesn't really have anything to do with lilo or the bios at all. I could be wrong though. sam -- sam clegg :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: http://superduper.net (~samc/key.gpg) $superduper: .signature,v 1.4 2002/04/27 11:54:02 samc Exp $ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I've tried most of them and haven't found anything that really works for me (apaert from ifplugd which does are very simple job and does it well). I want something that will work with many PPP and ethernet setups and integrate with ifupdown (i'm still waiting for PPP settings to go in /etc/network/interfaces as well) and set things like the exim smart-host. I'd say whereami is the closest to being usefull but its hard enough to setup that I still do stuff by hand. sam -- sam clegg :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: http://superduper.net/ :: PGP : D91EE369 :: YIM : samuelbclegg :: freenode : samo :: ICQ : 14962308 :: AIM : samuelbclegg :: MSN : sambclegg $superduper: .signature,v 1.9 2002/10/23 11:20:39 sam Exp $ msg10377/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I've been using for acpi-patch for over year now (my PCI IRQs are srewed without it). Never had any probs with applying it.

Presumably the pcmcia scripts should call ifup eth? (or send a hotplug even which then calls ifup eth?) at some point which would then trigger dhcp (if thats what you specify in interfaces). > > > The kernel is the only thing that I have changed, with the other kernel > > > with the pcmcia-source drivers it works fine. > > > > Perhaps recompiling the pcmcia-cs-source under the new kernel can help ? > > ( i think, at least, if modversions are enabled ) > > The pcmcia-cs-source drivers work fine.

Or linux-wlan-ng, if you use these drivers. Seems to support the same sytax for interface defintion, which is nice. -- sam clegg :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: http://superduper.net/ :: PGP : D91EE369 $superduper: .signature,v 1.13 2003/06/17 10:29:24 sam Exp $ pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Its worth it. offlineimap works so well its worth switching to Maildirs. You don't need to change to Maildir on the server (which is where you run postfix and procmail I assume). But if you do change on the server then .procmailrc changes are trivial. -- sam clegg :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: http://superduper.net/ :: PGP : D91EE369 $superduper: .signature,v 1.13 2003/06/17 10:29:24 sam Exp $ pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I have had success using linux-wlan-ng in various encrypted environments. Things to watch out for: 1. Apple Airports use a different string->hex convertion for WEP keys. You need to set the explicit HEX digits as given in the airport control panel. 2. There are problem with ifupdown-roaming and wlan-ng. If you simply don't do mapping on wlan0 this problem doesn't appear.
