There are quite a few bugs in the nwclient that is shipped with>Aren't these the same folks who dropped retail sales without warning and later called their users who download from their site "freeloaders."
eDesktop. Unfortunatly development on the client has been stopped so
those bugs have not been fixed, nor are the going to be fixed in the
near future. The problems you are describing are the same as the
problems caused by those bugs.
With the nkfs module, the reason you are getting those unresolved
symbol errors is because that module was compiled for the original
kernel and the nkfs module was not included with the updated kernel.
To get the nkfs module working again you will have to recompile it
for the new kernel. Here is where you can grab the source to
recompile it:ftp://ftp.caldera.com/pub/opensource/nkfs/nkfs-4.2.1.tgz
just untar and uncompress it then read the readme and other
documentation for compiling it.At 06/13/2001 03:16 PM we wrote -
Is /usr/lib/modules/nkfs.o the place where you copied the newly
compiled module? Make sure you know the full path to the module. You
could even load it from the source directory if you can find there
where it put the nkfs.o file.Also you could copy the nkfs file to the
/lib/modules/<version_name>/fs/ directory then run 'depmod -a'.
After that you could try:modprobe nkfs
and see if the module will load.
While the module for the kernel is opensourced the nwclient is not.
The nwclient for Linux is still owned by novell but they have not
said what their plans for it are. You best bet is to contact Novell
and ask them what their plan is, becaues we don't know.At 06/19/2001 01:21 PM we wrote -
It looks as though it is trying to open a device that the nwamd
needs to run. You can add the this entry to your /dev/ directory:mknod /dev/nkfsd c 254 0
You have to add this as root. Also Please note that this is beyond
the scope of basic installation support so we can't offer much more
help on this subject. For more information see:If your issue remains unresolved, please update your incident at
