Kernel 2.4.28-17.8.0 Slow Panels

2002-11-07 Thread rchrismon
A week or so ago, after installing RH 8.0, the Up2Date agent upgraded my kernel from 2.4.18-14 to 2.4.18-17.8.0. Now I usually think upgrades and updates are a good thing, but this time around it's been a problem. Using either Gnome or KDE. the panels take an incredibly long time to load -- almost

Netgear MA401 Wireless

2002-11-11 Thread rchrismon
Folks: I've read the man page for iwconfig and the help file for neat. I've searched Google and the RedHat archives. I've tried fooling around on my own. The bottom line is that I can't get my Netgear MA401 wireless PCMCIA card to work with Linux. I don't know where to look (as in log files) to fi

Kernel Update Breaks Wireless Access

Momma said there'd be days like this... After struggling for two weeks to get my Netgear MA401 wireless PCMCIA card to work in RH 8.0 (kernel 2.4.18-17.8.0), Up2Date upgraded my kernel to 2.4.18-18.8.0. Naturally, the wireless doesn't work with this kernel. I went to the prism2 site but it's a

Charles: Thank you for the response. Fortunately, my momma taught me good! I do still have the earlier kernel and am booting to that. As for upgrading the krenel, when RedHat says there's a known security flaw (or two) and the upgrade is intended to fix them, isn't that sufficient reason to do

Evolution Won't Start -- Missing Config DB

When I first loaded RH 8.0 some months ago, I used Evolution a couple of times just to try it out. I then let it languish for a while because I generally use Lotus Notes for my email (I'm a Notes developer). Lately, I've wanted to give Evolution another shot, in part so I can compare and contra

Kernel Update Slows KDE/GNOME toolbar panels

In reading through this list, I gather my first post on this issue may have been ignored because I wasn't paying attention to the format my mail client uses. So, I'm trying again in plain text... Up2Date updated my RH 8.0 kernel from 2.4.18-14 to 2.4.18-17.8.0. In both Gnome and KDE, I set the
