I had one, but it finally died. I'm not really sure what I did, but removing, dpkg --purging, and reinstalling X didn't help. If anyone has a hand with this, I'd appreciate a cc: I know it can be done! Regards, Glen -Original Message- From: Nate Bargmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent:

I'd say it probably belongs on debian-devel, since I've had the same problems. I don't neccessarily want to re-get the source and kpkg my pcmcia-cs every time I have to update... Or even re- dpkg--install my kustom package. glen -Original Message- From: Drew Parsons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTEC

(you know you sent this to me, and not the whole list?) The support is on the drivers.tgz file. I've always loaded it as an 'alternate' to configureing device driver support, BEFORE addming any of the other device driver support. But I don't know if that's your problem. It'd probably help if we h

I used to be a big 3com fan, but I really now like the Intel Pro100B cards (for PCI) and the Netgear FA310 ethernet cards-- brand new ~ --$70, I havent' had a single problem, and the dongle looks pretty darn strong. Haven't managed to break it, anyway. glen -Original Message- From: alexa

Drew: I know I've seen you on here before, so I'll assume you have some good idea what you're doing. You should be able to get the card workign during the drivers config/just after the drivers install. The important thing at this point is to make sure you've applied the PCMCIA support (which come

Can you ping yourself on the address you have in /etc/network.opts? Can you ping your gateway? (I assume that you can't, but...) Do you have the high/low tone with card insertion? Did you configure pcmcia support in your kernel during install? What's the output from /etc/pcmcia/network start (or

Try using XF86Setup. It lets you try your different mouse settings. I usually find that for laptops (4 out of 4 successful Debian/X installs on laptops) that the mouse ends up being /dev/psaux (where it gets overridden by ps/2 mice) Hope this helps. glen -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

I had trouble getting my 760 EL to boot from the disk, and I had to get a special boot disk image-- which probably has some special kernel patches in it. What you should generally do is boot with the 'tecra' kernel. I don't know what the patches are, but boot disk can be found at: ftp://kalle.csb.k
