WLAN Inprocomm ipn2220 - endless story
Hello, now I made some progress, to get wlan running on AMD64. First I downloaded ndiswrapper-source and ndiswrapper-utils. Compiling the source went fine. Then I downloaded the IPN2220-driver for 64-bit from the acer site, I could now load the driver with ndiswrapper. Caution: The ndiswrapper loads i2220nti.sys (this is for Intel IA64), but i2220nta.sys is needed ! After installation and done a ndiswrapper -m , just change the file in /etc/ndiswrapper/neti2220/ from i2220nti.sys to i2220nta.sys. So far, so well ! But still I cannot get a connection. This is, what it says: Installed ndis drivers: neti2220driver present, hardware present O.k., driver is loaded ! Good ! This is my entry in /etc/network/interfaces iface eth1 inet dhcp wireless_essid mypassword wireless_mode Mananged wireless_key1 mykey wireless_keymode restricted wireless_defaultkey 1 wireless_channel 6 This is the output, I get, when starting eth1 (same, when I change eth1 to wlan0) /etc/init.d/networking restart Setting up IP spoofing protection: rp_filter.

Hello Gudjon And fellow Debian and FEMLAB user ! Whow ! What a great combination right ? As it has turned out, I worked around this problem by forcing the install without a GUI and basically installing everything on the CD. I am installing the latest version 3.1i which has a different type installation process (I understand) than the previous versions. I also have the 32-bit libraries installed via the chroot, but still have this error with the graphical install. In my case, I now have the 64-bit server running fine on the AMD64, but I run the 32-bit client on a separate machine (we have the network license to allow for that). I have thje nvidia drivers on the client. but not the server. I don't think I need the 3D drivers on the server machine, but that is a thought. At any rate, this forum is for Debian bugs, and I am more interested in resolution of this particular bug. Perhaps some of the AMD64 developers might be interested in this one ?

Well certainly some nvidia chipsets work with linux, although perhaps not fully in every way. NCQ certainly has no support at this time (although nvidia says their next chipset will have their own SATA design so they can release programing specifications). So far I have only used the mobile nvidia chipset (I think nforce go 250 or something like that), and it works just fine with linux on that machine. Sound works, USB works, video works (GF go mx 440 video), ide works. Can't think of anything else in the chipset that could need support. A server chipset with multiple cpus on the other hand, with sata and all, may be a bit harder to get fully working. I haven't tried.

Re: Advice on hardware ... Tyan S2895 K8WE
I did have the chance to test a Tyan S2895 (www.k8we.com). I tried Suse, Fedora, FreeBSD and Debian (all the Amd64 ports). Debian performed the best of all on that mainboard. Though, I would have liked to put the OS through more testing on it. I could use the NVIDIA chipset with Debian. Though, if you use the S2895 .. be ready for much pain.

I am a little nervous about that. I have scanned the last few months of this list - there does not seem to be any problem in principle with getting amd64-k8-smp itself going, only with drivers or packages to go with it. Is there no data point for Sarge on such a system? The vendors are bundling Red Hat and Suse licenses. I hope to get help on this list if I can't get all the wheels to turn.

Re: Advice on hardware ... Tyan S2895 K8WE
What was particularly wrong with it? The SuperMicro H8DCE (which I sent a compatibilty report a few days ago to this list) is based on the same chipset, more or less. It's a dual northbridge (one for each CPU) nVidia 2200/2050 combination. The only issues I've been having with it: - not gotten temperature sensing to work with the nVidia SMBus system - have to run the kernel with noapic (with Debian's kernels as well as my own 2.6.12) - the gigabit NIC with the forcedeth driver won't go above 10MB/sec (even though the OSS driver supposedly supports gigabit operation).
