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).

I know there are people working on this issue- progeny.com
said so.

My appologies for CC'ing the list on what was meant as a

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.

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.

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.

Hi, all.
There's been a lot of discussion on this list about tools to
detect which network a laptop is connected to and configure
various things.

someone at some point, but it seems Thomas Hood's
ifupdown-roaming is the best so far! His sol
