Help!!!!!
I've got a laptop with a PCMCIA network adapter.
DE-660 by DLINK.
Running RedHat 5.2 (2.0.36 kernel)
I had some problems recently, then got the card working for one
day, even through a few reboots, after I installed PCMCIA Services 3.0.9
Now, EVERY TIME I start the machine I get:
pcnet_reset_8390() did not complete
timeout waiting for Tx RDC.
This happens after:
insmod /lib/modules/preferred/net/8390.o
insmod ........./pcnet_cs.o
This thing works perfectly fine under Windows 98, but I DON'T want
to go there today!
I've even tried re-installing Linux... No success.
I've now tried PCMCIA Service 3.05 and 3.09.
HELP!!!!!

Excuse me, but I'm a linux newbie. On the Redhat hardware compability
site, it says that my NIC, the 3com 3c905b is "compatible, but
unsupported". What does this mean? It also says "it is not necessary
to build a custom kernel". Does that mean I don't have to compile a
custom kernel? I'm glad of that.
Does anyone have any experience with this card? How does it work?
Also, I have a broadband DSL connection, and my ISP gives me a dynamic
IP with DHCP. Is DHCP microsoft-only? Can I get it to work in linux?
If these things are true, then I'm free of the oppressive world of M$.

In the games Koules(hehe) the sound's playing correctly.
But, in all other things, like Doom, Mp3 playing, I got a dma Time

In windows the card is set to irq 5, dma 1

I have been using this card in multiple systems. On install in redhat 5.2
the card is recognized as 359 type card. Now the first time I did this I
searched around and found a person who had made there own and it worked
fine. Now I am just using the driver found...it may be the same one since
my original install was using a very old redhat.
good luck

No, he is right that it requires a full hardware
reset to turn the feature back on. What people
have discovered is that it is easy to trick the
_control_ software into leaving it ON after the
next reboot, rather than disabling it as the user
intended. Basically, the control program has to
store the user's preference in a file somewhere.
If another program changes that file's contents,
the PSN will be available on the next reboot. A
bad program could then make a copy of the PSN,
and have it available whenever it needed it in
the future.
Moving the PSN disable process to the BIOS helps,
because each BIOS is different. However, it would
still be possible for a program to over-ride the
users preference by changing the settings in the
non-volatile system memory. It would be more
difficult to write this kind of program.
None of this addresses the problem of having a
bad program grab the PSN when it is on, and storing
it despite the user's preference that it not be
available at specific times.

Subject: Attempting Redhat 5.1 Install, HD has a split personality
Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 02:25:02 GMT
I have 2 hard disks in my system, a 6.1 gig that is the primary drive
and formatted to FAT 32 with the exception of 15 megs that I left
before the Windows C: partition. This is supposed to be for a Linux
boot partition. The rest of Linux was to be installed on my secondary
drive, which is a 1 gig. I can get the CD to autoboot from DOS, but
after that a bunch of dialogue loads up, and it dies with these being
the last few lines:
hdd: 123264 kB, 963/8/32 CHS, 533kBps, 512 sector size, 720 rpm
hdd: The drive supports both 126272336 and 0 bytes as its capacity
VFS: Cannot open root device 08:21
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:21
I saw nothing in the BIOS that would indicate that this is a BIOS
thing, but I'm all ears to suggestions. I deleted all of the
partitions from this second drive. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

I think the reason is because NT needed more memory and 64 bit NT will not

I have a scanner from back in my windows days and never configured it
for linux. Can I use a SCSI Module to access my scanner? I really
don't want to have to re-compile the kernel, but need access to my
scanner again. I tried insmod and modprobe-ing the 'sg.o' 'scsi_debug'
modules but 'scanimage --list-devices' doesn't show up my scanner. I
added a modprobe of those modules to my init script and it found a
nonexistent device everywhere possible and I still couldn't access my
scanner. I read that if it finds devices in every slot then you have to
reconfigure the jumpers on your scsi card. Is this true? I don't know
if I even still have the manual to my scanner/scsi card. The scanner
used TWAIN if that makes any difference.

Never tried, but I'd guess it should work partially; I do know Solaris for
SPARC uses the UFS file system, which Linux can read (though not write).
Don't know what Solaris for Intel (presumably ...?) uses.
>Will Solaris mount a Linux ext2 FS partition or a ms FAT partition?
Doubt Solaris can use ext2, but it (the SPARC version again) can read and
write DOS floppies OK. Don't know if it can deal with hard disks; you may
end up having to use floppies as your transfer mechanism.
Sorry to be so vague - thought a few hints were better than none, though.

Ahh yes. But in most ISA x86 architectures you can perform a _full_ reset
of the processor without rebooting the machine. Remember the good old days
of when Intel made the 286 Protected mode more secure by never allowing
you to go back to real mode (instead of from CPL 0)? Well, for
compatability reasons, I'm willing to bet that the machinery for doing
this (mostly in the BIOS, uses the keyboard controller to hold the actual
reset line low) is still in most PC's.

Of course, the chip can only send off it's ID number if you help it.
Standard protocol implementation don't do this (although it would be scary
to watch serial numbers come up in an HTTP agent log). So the lesson is
stick with standard protocols and you should be okay.

Intel certainly isn't the first hardware company to put a serial number
that is software accessible in their hardware. I don't agree with it (and
don't buy their processors for purely technical reasons). But I am more
worried about what my buddies up in Redmond plan to do with such a
hardware feature. I suspect Linux users have nothing at all to worry
about.

I have two external Zoom modems. One is the V.34X Plus, and the new one is

2.0.35. The problem is the 56k DualMode modem. It never gets into 56k mode
with Linux. It always drops down to V.34 mode. I know that the system I am

no problems connecting at 46kb or even 48kb.
I have tried all of the suggestions in the howto's. Including "setserial

combinations of the AT commands without success. The fastest I have been

I would appreciate any help and suggestion.
Please replay also by email.
Thanks
P.S. for Antonio
I didn't fix the problem so far. But here you can see my config. I'm
using RedHat 5.2,
but I also upgraded to 2.2.1. By the way I can't play midi even with
drvmidi, even though
I think I did every thing as described in docs. So if you have any hints
about this I
would appreciate. And of course I'll replay you any interesting
suggestion.

Yes, but it also requires patience to get up and running (particularly
with all of this new Win-hardware), and I think it also requires more
than a little willingness to learn a new way of doing things.
Linux is *very* different from Windows in some ways, and that really
can't be stressed enough to the new user. It isn't a better-but-free-
Windows-clone, but rather a complex operating system based on very
different concepts (networking, multiple users, etc.) and with very
different design priorities.
>I figure anything so utterly wonderful at least bears looking into.
Looking is good -- most people know nothing about the alternatives.
Just don't expect miracles. :-)
