Date: Fri, 08 Sep 2000 03:19:39 GMT
Hi,
I Can't get the Aviator 2.4 to talk to my Win98 PC. I'm running
Rebhat 6.1, i've installed pcmcia-cs 3.1.20. Linux can see the card and
the 'on' led is illuminated but the 'active' led never does anything.
I've tried pinging from the win computer but to no avail. As you can see
from my logs the device is being found but it isn't responsive.
According to the faq <http://world.std.com/~corey/faq.html> you should
find 'ray_cs interrupt network your_essid started ' in the log but it
isn't there. Is that a misconfiguration problem?
It also says"Note that WebGear's windows parameters must match the
ray_cs.opts parameters to talk between windows and linux. The WebGear
parameters are accessible in the advanced page of the driver properties
page"
I can't find this page! Can anyone explain what i'm missing?
As you can see below i have translate set to 0 and it doesn't work. The
essid is set the same on both computers.
I'm lost and about to (giveup/try another os) any help would be
appreciated
thanks,
-Nick

The stock 2.2.16 kernel has support for up to 2 gigabytes of memory,
although if I recall correctly, there's a good chance that the 2.4 kernels
have support for up to 4.
Are you really going to use more than 2 gigs?

I have used 128MB x 2 (total 256MB) in the RH6.1 (Kernel 2.2.12-20)
however I found only 128MB show on 'dmesg'.
I have already changed the file 'lilo.conf'.
the context is as follows:
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img

what should I do ?

If it is a plain old boot disk where you copied vmlinuz to the floppy, it
could be that / on this system is a different partition than / was on the
other system. In this case you would need to use rdev to tell the kernel
on the floppy which /dev/hd is /.
I am not sure how you would boot a LILO floppy for this, but there may be
info in the lilo docs.

Hiya, Michael,
I have a Mustek ScanExpress 1200 ED+, so it could be considered as a
kind of a close cousin to your model, and I can tell you that so far,
the drivers only support some of Mustek models, but unfortunately not
ours. Support for it is being planned and is to come within months or
even weeks, but it all dependss on Joechen Eisinger's free time and
information he is able to obtain from testing and feedback.
If you have some experience in programming scanners (or at least if
you want to help testing), you can join the sane-devel mailing list
(you can do that anyway, to stay current on how the progress is going)
and perhaps help Joechen with his work. Otherwise, check
http://home.germany.net/freestyle/sane/
and see if any of it makes sense to you. It's the homepage to the
mustek_pp backend, which is specifically designed for parallel Mustek
scanners.
As a side-note: I have been able to make my scanner work through
VMWare, using the supplied drivers on Windows 98/NT, but I guess it's
not what you want if you have as much as a mediocre to a weak machine.
Even on a PII-300/256Mb the Windows' image processing speed in VMWare
can be a pain in the *ss.
Cheers,

Date: Fri, 08 Sep 2000 07:28:50 GMT
I've had redhat linux and windows98 installed on the computer for about a
year now. The only two things that are keeping me from erasing windows98
from my computer right now are:
1. Cant find the correct drivers for the HP882C deskjet. Has anyone had
any luck with this particular printer? I've been trying to find an answer
for this question since 1999. The how-to documents are reeally not helping
me much since I don't know a lick of programing under linux.
2. Although this is not related to this particular usegroup I might get
lucky. My SoundBlaster Live value card is not working under linux either,
has anyone had any luck with this one?
I would really appreciate an answer to these questions. Like I said before
these are the only two reasons Windows98 is still installed on my
computer. After about a year of searching for the answers or fixes to
these two problems I would REEEALLY be happy to find an answer or a fix and
finally get rid of Windows98 forever.
Thanks allot
