Have you tried removing the SCSI card to see if the NIC will be
recognized? Are the proper NIC modules loaded? Maybe you can supply
the output from dmesg.
Also, there are numerous bugs in the stock RHL 7.0 release. If you
haven't done so, go grab and apply all the updates that are relevant to
your system.

Hi,
Does anyone have any experience using the eepro100 driver with an i82550-based
Intel network card (such as the new Pro/100S)?
It's meant to be backwards compatible, but...

I don't believe there is one. There was an independent effort that had a

What options did you compile in to get the MPU and SB drivers? My

I can't get playmidi to recognize that I have a MIDI device.

You really mean, "...adapter works properly when I boot Windows 2000
and LOAD THE DRIVER on the same laptop."
I've got the exact same card in my ThinkPad T20, and it works fine, once
you install the driver you need, regardless of Win2000 or Linux.
Go to google, search on "3c556 linux". Any of those links will help. In
fact, the kernel 2.2.17 and later include support for that card in the
3c59x driver.

Hi, I have a Mustek parallel port scanner.
Finally yesterday I mamaged to get it work under Linux Mandrake 7.2, but
there is a little problem: I can use it once, but when I try to scan
again, it says no device found. The problem is overcome by just opening
and closing the file mustek_pp.conf. Having done that, I can do
scanimage --list-device and everything works fine. But the problem come
up again the following time.
Anyone knows what is going on?

Where is your CD-ROM drive? Is it sharing a controller with something else,
or is it on its own? If possible, put the CD drive on it's own controller
cable, rather than having it as a master to or a slave of another drive;
quite a few configs have a problem if the CD is sharing cable & controller
port with an HD at the point you mention, but mostly work okay under
Windows.

Our motherboard uses an 82557 I think (IBM 300PL)? Works fine with the eepro100
driver.
However, for optimum usage, make sure it is enabled & hence configured
properly on boot by the BIOS -- it does work with that driver otherwise,
however it seems to function better if the BIOS has enabled it properly and
given it an interrupt properly to begin with.

Subject: Redirecting Serial port input to a file
Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2001 11:37:48 -0700
Hi,
I am trying to test serial throughput in Linux. I have two machines
connected with a null modem serial cable and have successfully tested
communication via minicom. (FWIW: Source machine is a i686 running
Redhat 7.0 and the target machine is an ARM running an embedded version
of Royal Linux)
I have read the Advanced Bash Scripting HOWTO's section on I/O
Redirection and
I am sending an ASCII text file (100 lines with the numbers 1 through
100 on their respective line) from the source computer like so:
cat sent.txt > /dev/ttyS0
I am attempting, from bash, to redirect the serial port data coming into
the target to a text file. I have tried all of the following on the
target:
1) Take standard input from a file and direct standard input back to a
file:
exec < /dev/ttyS0 > received.txt (This causes the lines in the
file to be "executed" as commands, a blank received.txt to be received,
and my session logs out.)
2) cat /dev/ttyS0 > received.txt (This causes 3 or 4 lines
to be placed in received.txt : blank, some number, some greater number
and then the file is closed and I get a prompt back.)
3) Run, from within a shell script:
exec cat /dev/ttyS0 > received.txt (This has the same effect as
case 2 above be the script exits.)
You can't, of course, just do a /dev/ttyS0 > received.txt.
I am running at a mere 9600 baud. Could I be seeing receive buffer full
overruns? Why would that cause case 2 and 3 to exit from their
environment?
"exec" seems to be what I need since without it, the command completes.
"exec" seems to cause the statement to keep redirecting the input.
I know I could write two little programs to do this but I thought since
redirection is so powerful...
This is all slightly complicated by the fact that sometime I can't break
out of a running task, and have to reboot the target, thus flushing my
RAM disk. :-(
Has anyone done this kind of thing before?
Thanks,
John Bahr

Hate for you to be the last person to find out, but they do now. It's
called *miniPCI*. On my Dell C800 its a little card that plugs into the
bottom, it currently allows built in ethernet and modem. miniPCI is
also used in docking stations. It is supported under linux.
To original poster:
If you 'cat /proc/pci' does the minPCI and 3com show up?

The LGPL does infact tend to be used instead of the GPL in instances

This dramatically alters the nature and usefulness of Free Software

Well, maybe you can offer some insights for my problem: I'm using the ALSA

the hardware is capable of (based on Win98). I've got the 'amixer' volumes
set at 100%; no joy.

Starband is availabe nationwide. It's _satellite_ fer cryin' out loud. And
it's even more expensive than Fast@XS and Nebulink, tho it's a simple matter
to rip the USB kludge off the 180's ethernet port once you're set up. No
Linux drivers needed. Just set up your network info.

I _did_ answer your question. Helius has linux drivers for DPC and they are
only available to _existing_ customers. I don't see anything confusing in

Joystick : MS SideWinder Precision Pro USB (I can connect in the
gameport without the USB adaptor)
The joystick drivers joystick-1.2.15 come with RH7, and they can be
loaded as modules by default.
I am able to load joystick.o, but if I try to load the hardware specific
driver (joy-sidewinder.o), it
gives me the following error:
[root@localhost /root]# insmod joystick
Using /lib/modules/2.2.16-22smp/misc/joystick.o
[root@localhost /root]# insmod joy-sidewinder
Using /lib/modules/2.2.16-22smp/misc/joy-sidewinder.o
/lib/modules/2.2.16-22smp/misc/joy-sidewinder.o: init_module: Device or
resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
Anyone has any clue ??
Thanks in advance

Just Winmodems, if that's considered a flaw.... ;^)
