wireless USB dongle
Hi, I am trying to configure wireless USB dongle (SWMULZ-5400 http://safecom.cn/code/sub/category.asp?prdid=321subcatid=41) but so far I could not load successfully driver. I am getting next message cut from messages logfile Jan 16 14:59:06 k3070-pc03 kernel: usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 15 Jan 16 14:59:06 k3070-pc03 kernel: usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Jan 16 14:59:08 k3070-pc03 kernel: Jan 16 14:59:08 k3070-pc03 kernel: _ _ Jan 16 14:59:08 k3070-pc03 kernel: |__ / _| _ \ / \ / ___| Jan 16 14:59:08 k3070-pc03 kernel: / / | | | | | |/ _ \ \___ \ Jan 16 14:59:08 k3070-pc03 kernel: / /| |_| | |_| / ___ \ ___) | Jan 16 14:59:08 k3070-pc03 kernel: /\__, |/_/ \_\/ Jan 16 14:59:08 k3070-pc03 kernel: |___/ Jan 16 14:59:08 k3070-pc03 kernel: ZD1211B - version 2.5.0.0 Jan 16 14:59:08 k3070-pc03 kernel: Release Ver = 4810 Jan 16 14:59:08 k3070-pc03 kernel: EEPORM Ver = 4810 Jan 16 14:59:08 k3070-pc03 kernel: zd1211b: probe of 2-1:1.0 failed with error -5 Jan 16 14:59:08 k3070-pc03 kernel: usbcore: registered new driver zd1211b Jan 16 14:59:08 k3070-pc03 usb.agent[22662]: zd1211b: loaded successfully cut from messages logfile --- cut from dmesg usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 15 usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice _ _ |__ / _| _ \ / \ / ___| / / | | | | | |/ _ \ \___ \ / /| |_| | |_| / ___ \ ___) | /\__, |/_/ \_\/ |___/ ZD1211B - version 2.5.0.0 Release Ver = 4810 zd1211:bulk out: wMaxPacketSize = 40 zd1211:bulk in: wMaxPacketSize = 40 zd1211:interrupt in: wMaxPacketSize = 40 zd1211:interrupt in: int_interval = 1 zd1211:bulk out: wMaxPacketSize = 40 EEPORM Ver = 4810 zd1211:USB Download Boot code success zd1211: failed intr_urb zd1211:USB ST Code = -22 zd1211b: probe of 2-1:1.0 failed with error -5 usbcore: registered new driver zd1211b --- cut from dmesg Message from /var/log/messages states Jan 16 14:59:08 k3070-pc03 kernel: zd1211b: probe of 2-1:1.0 failed with error -5 dmesg gives a little bit more information zd1211: failed intr_urb zd1211:USB ST Code = -22 zd1211b: probe of 2-1:1.0 failed with error -5 lsusb gives Bus 002 Device 015: ID 0ace:1215 which indicates that I have zd1211b chipset in wireless USB dongle (http://zd1211.ath.cx/) I've tried a driver from safecom (manufacture of the device) and http://zd1211.ath.cx/download/ with same result (same error message about intr_urb). According some post on internet this should be timing issue to initialize URB. But modifications from the post didn't resolved the problem. 1. Is there anybody who had similar problem and successfully resolved it? 2. What other wireless USB dongles are supported in Linux? 3. What wireless USB dongles are capable turbo mode 125mbps in Linux? 4. Is there a better place to ask for a help? Note I tried same USB dongle at home in Mandrake 2006 and driver loaded without error message. I was able scan for WLANS with variable success (similar result was obtained in windows -- number networks on scans varies). So far no more tests was done at home (received USB dongle yesterday and had only about an hour to play with it).

Re: Hi, how to install rpms on Debian??
Well you can try package alien but be warned that it didn't work properly with some packages for me.

Re: Problem with modem
did you try run setserial in order ttyS03 ttyS02 ttyS01 and see what tty will accept your settings. In my case modem was reported in windows as com4 but in linux it was ttyS01.

After installing Potato and compiling 2.4 kernel (due to better PCI support) I am getting the following boot message ttyS04 at port 0x1800 (irq = 11) is a 16550A The modem automatically uses com 5 in M$ hence the ttyS4 (although not sure about the 0 in ttyS04). Is there any way to change the modem from ttyS4 to ttyS0-3 using setserial or something like it or do I have to use MAKEDEV to create ttyS4 and run the modem from that. thanks for any help tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: potential new Debian user
Darren, I am in one boat with you - new to Debian. I was trying install X11 by hand and endup installing it through tasksel. If you will select to install Desktop System it will install KDE and GNOME for you and bunch of another KDE and GNOME applications. In short it was as avalanche - you just select one option and it will pull out all packages. I found that in some cases it can cause a problem when you do not need all this packages. I was not able found better solution upto now. Andrey Darren wrote: I'm looking for comments/suggestions regarding Debian on the desktop. I'm what you might call a fairly experienced newbie. I currently have installs of FreeBSD, Mandrake and Gentoo, at home. I have been using FreeBSD on its own box as a server while my Linux partitions share HD space on another box with Windows. For a variety of reasons, I'm not quite happy with Mandrake or Gentoo. So, I'm searching for a new distro to serve as my primary desktop. Because of my experiences with FreeBSD's ports and packages and Debian's reputation as being a rock solid distro with a 1st class packaging system, I've been thinking about trying them out on the desktop. I've only used FreeBSD in console mode. So, using it on the desktop would be a new thing entirely. I realize that trying them both out will ultimately be the best way to choose. But, I'm trying to minimize the risks associated with doing dual boot installs. Since, I will be using it almost exclusively as a desktop, I'm most concerned about access to current builds of my favorite packages like KDE3, OpenOffice 1.0 Mozilla 1.0RC2. Of course, OO and Mozilla have pretty good installers that come with them. I'm happy with those and could use their install programs. So, I guess I'm mostly concerned about KDE3. Another concern is how difficult Debian might be to install as a dual boot. Does Debian use the traditional partition naming scheme? Frankly, even though I've had a considerable amount of experience switching Linux distros and setting them up to dual boot, setting up FreeBSD to dual boot would make me sweat. One of the drawbacks that I've heard that about Debian's (even from a Debian advocate) is that their packages are rather out of date. Is that true, even if I choose to install Woody? Just to get a feel for the packages, I browsed through the packages looking for KDE3. I found a long list of KDE3 files. Would I have to install all of those KDE3 apps individually? Or, is it as simple as something like apt-get KDE3? Any comments would be appreciated. Darren -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: GIMP and gif files
No it is linux community doesn't support gif format because of it patent for compression. But you can recompile GIMP with support for gif without any problem.

Re: hard drive question
try this remedy
test a speed of your disk
hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
optimize parameters for HDD
hdparm -c1 -d1 -u1 -m16 -A /dev/hda
and test again
hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
if it worked for you add a file into /etc/init.d as startup script
#! /bin/sh
set -e
case $1 in
start)
echo -n Setting Drive Parameters:
/sbin/hdparm -q -qc1 -qd1 -qX66 -qm1 -qu1 /dev/hda
echo /dev/hda
;;
*)
N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
echo Usage: $N {start} 2
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
and link it from /etc/rcS.d
ln -s /etc/init.d/hdparm /etc/rcS.d/S01hdparm
Now your system will comeup with optimized setting for you HDD.
In case of my new computer it kicked from 2MB/s to 40MB/s with kernel 2.4.18-bf.
NOTE: kernel should be compiled with support DMA for HDD otherwise you will not
get significant performance improvement for your disk.
Good luck
Andrey

Don't believe that's quite the case. That is reading what the drive is
capable of. Per the hdparm man page:
-i Display the identification info that was obtained
from the drive at boot time, if available.
What does hdparm /dev/hda return (that's how the drive is currently
configured).
