ASUS m2npv-vm high-pitch bug returns!
It's the high-pitch noise on left channel, sound only on right channel. I SOLVED it but i'm curious as to why has The Bug returned. I had this problem in the beggining and i remember it was a matter of adding some lines somewhere. I think it was this line at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack The line's there. Whatever it was it worked fine from then on. A few sessions ago i started palying a file, heard the first second of it, then sound went dead and the noise came back. Restarting alsa takes no effect. The only recent change i've done has been to configure flash for amd64. As far as sound goes i stopped using esd and started using ALSA. i'm using xfce isntead of gnome and briefly used window maker. I set XMMS to use ALSA and everything was working fine with flash videos and mp3 for the last 2-3 sessions. My board's an Asus M2NPV-VM alsamixer gives this info: Card: HDA NVidia Chip Analog Devices AD1986A I've tried these suggestions: echo options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-fix and echo options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-special both followed by /etc/init.d/alsa reload no effect. I already have noapic in the kernel line of /boot/grub/menu.lst # kopt=root=/dev/sda4 ro noapic nolapic (there are instructions not to uncoment) I also saw reference to an NVIDIA chipset driver, NFORCE-Linux-x86_64-1[1].0-0311-pkg1,but i assume one can use a regular free driver, no? Eventually a reboot got rid of the high-pitch sound but there is no sound in the left channel anyway. I got everything off of *.deb so i assume it's tested. I ran alsaconf just for the hell of it and it shows two different sound cards: hda-intel nVidia MCP51 (whichi use) and mpu401 snd-mpu401 why two? It also refers to /etc/modprobe.d/sound which has this: alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel index=0 (exactly the same as before) and /etc/modprobe.conf which doesn't exist). This is not hardware related. What's buging me is why the hell did this issue return if it was already solved... Any obscure thoughts? -- Fica bem, porta-te mal.

Re: How to wifi with ipw3945 on Dell Vostro ???
Kelly Anderson wrote: Thought I'd throw in a suggestion that you look into the iwlwifi driver. Intel has moved on to the next best thing. The iwl driver doesn't require the stupid daemon (a big step). And my initial impression is that it will probably support WEP/WPA more effectively. I haven't used WEP/WPA with it yet but it's on my agenda. I haven't had any issues since I switched from iwp to iwlwifi. Thanks - this tip made it possible to upgrade to 2.6.23 for me. I didn't know they changed the driver. And it works nicely with WPA too, something the old driver didn't. There is another problem though. My homemade script uses iwlist scan in order to see where the machine is (at home, at work, at friends/family house) and then select the appropriate essid, key and other stuff. This part used to work well - now I always have to try bringing the network up 2-4 times before it actually works. If I run manually, I see that iwlist comes up empty many times before it suddenly sees the available networks and access points. Setting a longer timeout between bringing up the driver and running iwlist didn't seem to help. The old driver needed 2s. I tried 4s, but still have to try many times before iwlist will see anything. Is there a trick to make this work? Running iwlist in a loop is not what I want, that is error-prone and wastes CPU. I use the machine in places with no network too. I want to detect the available networks in minimum time and with only one attempt. Helge Hafting -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Have you tried putting all the various networks into a config file for wpasupplicant (see the examples in /usr/share/doc/). AFAIK, it will scan for the available networks and connect to the right one. Worth a try.
