recompiled pcmcia, lost cardbus support, argh!

2000-06-28 Thread Steve Bagdon
In the quest to get a WaveLAN card to work on my 6.2beta laptop, it appears that I've gone one step forward and two steps back. I've got the WaveLAN card working, but I've lost cardbus support (Xircom RealPort card). Short version: * locate WaveLAN drivers, decompress into /usr/src/linux, comp

[Redhat-devel-list] spinning down hard disk on laptop?

2000-06-23 Thread Steve Bagdon
It sounds trivial, but this is one loud laptop hard disk! It looks like APM doesn't support spinning down the hard disk, and my rom bios on my laptop doesn't support this, when the laptop is connected to a/c power. Anyone know how to spin down a hard disk on a Dell CPi-R400? Thanks! Steve B.

Re: dhcpcd & ifconfig hw ether?

Afer some breadcrumbs from this list, I'm now able to boot my 6.1beta box so that it changes it's mac address, dhcpcd's, and loads some vpn software (all in rc3.d). What I'm trying to narrow down is what is causing this action: if I do a 'cardmgr -o', and then try to do an 'ifconfig hw', ifconf

dhcpcd & ifconfig hw ether?

2000-05-24 Thread Steve Bagdon
I'm trying to acquire a dhcp address using dhcpcd, but in the midst of this I want to change my mac address on the network card. The only downside is, I acquire my dhcp address using my mac address, so I figure I have to set my mac address before I call dhcpcd. I'm working on this now, but if a

using perl with the serial port?

2000-05-20 Thread Steve Bagdon
I'm doing some data-collection using some dedicated devices outputing via their serial port, and I've run into a few roadblocks. My specific example is a BASIC Stamp that's outputting temp every 60 seconds. I know that the data is coming into the Linux serial port, as I can view the data using
