It looks to me like there's no IRQ available. Perhaps you
could disable some built-in hardware that you are not
using? Examples might be: parallel port, serial ports,
build-in audio. This is done in the BIOS (i.e. at reboot).

When I was using pcmcia networking, I recall putting network config into
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts instead of /etc/network/interfaces .
Is this the debian way or does it subvert it?
It did work. When my card was inserted, it configured, and when it was
ejected, it deconfigured.
So my q
Hi, all.
I've got a laptop (yes, I'm on this list, duh). I take it
to a jobsite with me, I take it home, I take it to the
office. Some places I can connect to the mailserver
directly, but at other places I have to ssh through a leased
line back to the office.
I've got ssh set up with tunnels fo
The last primary doubles as the home for the extended
partitions. If you use up all the primaries (four, I
think), you can't define any extended. You often see
systems with hda1, hda5, hda6... because of this.
Thanks, Micros~1/IBM.

Liked it, adapted acpi_percent so it will work with
two (or more presumably) batteries. Also detects bay w/o
battery. Also removed BAT0 dependency since mine are
numbered 1 and 2.
function acpi_percent()
{
for BATDIR in /proc/acpi/battery/BAT*
do
BATTERY=$(basename $BATDIR)
CAPACITY=$(ca

I was the happy owner of a Sharp Zaurus. A colleague and a
relative both bought Zauruses (Zaurai?) on my recommendation.
Their spam to the list offends me, however, to the point
that I will not offer any more of such recommendations.

Linux Journal (or was it Linux Magazine?) had a great issue
devoted to SOHO computing a month or two ago. It dealt with
this in some detail.
Upshot was: you don't need an access point if you have a
computer running linux that you can use to make the bridge.
