Unless it's radically different from other external cable modems, you
just set it up as a regular LAN.
See the man page for ifconfig and route. If you have to use DHCP
(which you probably do), also check out dhcpcd and friends (you might
have to install the relevant packages).

I just put mandrake 7.1 on my system and used the 395 driver. It seems to
read the cds in my burner fine which is using the 315 card as its interface.

Thank you very much for the response. I think that will send me well on my
way.. One problem, though..
When I run, say, "echo test | lpr" it gives me the following error:
lpr: connect: Connection refused
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.
Any clues? I was messing around with things before I got this response, so
who knows what I messed up. Any help would be appreciated...

I don't have any experience with the motherboard Intel AC97 directly. I use
a Soundblaster Live! But, I did have to add:
ln -s /dev/dsp0 /dev/dsp
to my /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Check ls -l /dev/dsp* and see if you have a
/dev/dsp0 and try the link. I use the ALSA drivers and it works for me.
The ALSA drivers load a module called snd-ac97-codec so maybe it is
relevant for you.
I did have to quit using esd, however. It caused stuttering when I changed
virtual screens under Xwindows.

It is my understanding that you install the Kernel 2.4.x
I presume that you are using your motherboard and want to install a new
board since you must be running RH
6.2 on something.
See:

I don't have any experience with that particular motherboard... but I do
have a PCChips M748LMRT with onboard *everything* with all the hardware
working under Linux.
Slackware and SuSE by experience... but it shouldn't particularly matter.
modem is PCTel HSP56 Micromodem - from what I understand there are a few
similar models - AMR, PCI, etc...

ALSA works pretty well... as long as you read *all* of the tips in the
INSTALL file in the source distribution.
In particular... there is a 'snddevices' script it mentions... and OSS
support through additional modules.
(It's very easy to experience complete silence until you get it set up
completely - will probably use lsmod, rmmod, modprobe, insmod a bit until
you get things right)

Subject: New linux user needs help with new kernel
Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2000 08:01:34 GMT
I have linx mandrake 7.1. I am a brand new user. I downloaded and tried
to compile the latest 2.4.0 test kernel to get support for my hpt366.
That is now working but my sound is not working and my HP-CD writer and
my floppy drive is not working. I have an ensoniq audiopci sound card.
I did say yes to the ES 1371 driver when using the xconfig. I am not
sure about everything in the xconfig since I am brand new to linux.
When I click on the cd-rom or floppy icon on the desktop it does not
show anything there even though I have a cd or floppy in the drive. I
have read as much as I could find but being new to linux don't
understand everything. Also when I run the DrakConf I do see my sound
card and cd-rom listed under hardware and it was working before I tried
to install the new kernel.
Thanks in advance for any help

Check out ALSA at www.alsa-project.org - setup is a bit more effort... but
results should be nice when you get it working.

Hello,
as far as I know you can't send something direct to the lexmark 5700.
This is (windows spoken) a gui printer, that means it only understand

Subject: pctel modem driver help
Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2000 10:08:17 GMT
Hi,
I'm running RH 6.2 (kernel 2.2.14-5.0)
on a machine with Amptron K7-M800LMR motherboard
that has a PCtel HSP modem.
It looks exactly like a PC100 architecture with a
sis900 NIC and a CM8x38 sound
chip (x - not sure whether it is 3 or 8). I have
tried to use every possible driver
from http://pctel.n3.net and
http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html and
always get
the same error from depmod (whether I run it or
after reboot):
***Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.14-
5.0/net/pctel.o
Unfortunately my lack of knowledge prevents me
from digging deeper. I would appreciate
any help or advise you can give.
Thanks,

Subject: aic7xxx: scsi parity error in command phase
Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2000 11:57:21 GMT
Whenever I *write* a large amount of data (multiple megabytes) to the
Quantum 36GB disk, I tend to get "scsi parity error in command phase".
This does not simply interrupt the current write operation - it completely
freezes the entire scsi bus.
That is, I cannot even read the root filesystem - and thus cannot even halt,
reboot, or do anything at all. I have to hit the hardware reset button.
I've never had parity errors before and don't quite know how best to
proceed..
I've disabled TCQ on the disk in question, so it can't be that.
Should I call up Quantum and pursue a warranty replacement?
As you can imagine, I've lots of data on that disk (the machine is my local
file server),
and hope to avoid returning the disk if at all possible...
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
