Which is to say that the correct modules will be loaded when the card is
inserted.  Additional settings (essid, encryption keys, etc.) are set in
/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts, if needed.  You may also need to list an
entry in /etc/network/interfaces (I did, but my configuration in
wireless.opts may be incomplete).

You might also look at xdrawchem.  It's the closest thing I've found to
ChemDraw in the repositories.  I'll probably be using some combination
of xdrawchem and chemtool for my lecture notes and exams this year.

libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2: /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

Do you have this package installed on your system?  I recall something

What alsa software do you have installed?  I think my alsa configuration
started working when I did a 'dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base' and told it
which sound card to use.  It didn't work properly for me at first, but a
second configuration was successful.  I also didn't try to get alsa
working on this computer until I installed a 2.6 kernel, if that makes a
difference.

John,

My guess is that it's because you don't have ISA configured in your

Jim,

I can't pretend to know what's going on, but I'll relate my own
experiences with this transition.  When I first booted my 2.6.0 kernel,
I had exactly this problem.  It turned out that, in my case, the
yenta_socket module was not loaded by cardmgr.  I don't know how the
problem was corrected, except that the next time I booted the kernel,
cardmgr loaded the module, the card was recognized and configured as in
my 2.4 kernel.

I don't believe you need to have the pci hotplug kernel modules enabled.
My kernel does not have these included at all, and my card is currently
working.

This message is harmless.  It occurs every time I boot, and doesn't
affect the configuration of my wireless card.

I can't say that I found any useful documentation, but hopefully, your

This helps indeed.  Recompiling with ISA support makes my wireless card
functional again.  The number of devices on IRQ 10 was a red herring.

IRQ pileup

2003-09-06 Thread Nathan Malmberg
Debian Users,

I sent a similar message a few days back, but I don't believe it was
ever posted to the list.  A second effort...

I've been trying to use my PCMCIA wireless network card on my laptop,
but whenever I insert the card, I get the message:

orinoco_cs: RequestIRQ: Resource in use

I think this is probably because of the large number of devices using
IRQ 10 on my machine:

cat /proc/interrupts

   CPU0   
  0: 533785  XT-PIC  timer
  1:   3989  XT-PIC  keyboard

Texas Instruments PCI4451 PC card Cardbus Controller (#2), usb-uhci, eth0

NMI:  0 
ERR:  0

I'm using a 2.4.21 kernel I compiled myself, but my 2.4.20 kernel
behaves the same.  I know this card worked once upon a time (I think
with the 2.4.20).  How can I make the card or the controller use a
different IRQ?  Is there a manual I should be reading?  Could my problem
be caused by other software?

Thanks for any help,

IRQ Pileup

2003-09-03 Thread Nathan Malmberg
Debian Users,

I'm having a problem getting my PCMCIA wireless network card working.
Whenever I insert the card, I get the message:
orinoco_cs: RequestIRQ: Resource in use.
I think the problem might stem from the extensive use of IRQ 10 on my
machine:

cat /proc/interrupts
   CPU0   
  0: 565299  XT-PIC  timer
  1:  10916  XT-PIC  keyboard
  2:  0  XT-PIC  cascade
  5:  0  XT-PIC  Maestro3(i)
  8:  1  XT-PIC  rtc
 10:  23135  XT-PIC  Texas Instruments PCI4451 PC card Cardbus Controller, 
Texas Instruments PCI4451 PC card Cardbus Controller (#2), usb-uhci, eth0
 14:  32064  XT-PIC  ide0
NMI:  0 
ERR:  2

I'm using a 2.4.21 kernel I compiled myself, but a 2.4.20 kernel I
compiled myself exhibits the same problem.  This card did work once upon
a time, but I think I may have been using a 2.4.18 kernel at the time.
I don't have any other PCMCIA cards to test, but I would guess they
would behave the same.  usb-uhci, eth0, and the PCMCIA drivers are
compiled as modules.  If anyone can tell me how to redirect these
drivers to another IRQ, or point me in the direction of the manual I
should be reading, I'd appreciate that.  If there may be a problem with
a different program, I'd like to hear the suggestions.

Just to make a subtle distinction here, I'll point out that the function
of devfsd is not to provide devfs, but to make devfs
backwards-compatible with the old naming scheme.  If you have your old
device names in /dev, then devfsd is doing its job, whether or not you
have mounted a devfs filesystem.  If you need devfs, that's a kernel
issue.

You may not be kidding, but I hope you're wrong.  I've reformatted all
the disks in another zip drive (borrowed, no plasma).  They appear to be
working so far.  If I ever get my own lab, though, I'll see that

That's my plan as soon as I can afford to spend $20 on anything, which

Where to keep .gnupg?

2003-06-16 Thread Nathan Malmberg
Knowledgeable Debian Users,
As a part of developing security-conscious habits, I have kept
my .gnupg directory on removeable media (first a floppy, then a zip
disk).  Recently, however, I have found that when I mount my
ext2-formatted zip disk, the disk quickly becomes unreadable (it led to
kernel panic at one point).  I have tried using a dos-formatted zip
disk, but I get errors whenever gpg needs to write to the disk
(something about not being able to lock the file/directory, it's been
awhile).  Given the transient nature of floppy disks (work one day, fail
the next), I would rather not keep my keys there.
With as many problems as I have had, I have been trying to
brainstorm alternatives.  One thought I had was to write the files to
which I need only read access to removeable media, and keep the rest in
my home directory.  Does anyone have any thoughts in this regard?
Thanks,
Nate
btw, if anyone knows why my zip drive (USB-powered Zip250) is destroying
my zip disks, I'd like to know, also.

Did you replace the /etc/email-addresses file as part of the upgrade?  I
think that was an option, but not the default.

PS This is my first message after an exim upgrade.  I guess I'll find
out if it's working for me.

The network modules should come with the kernel image package, but
rather than in the "net" directory of the 2.2 kernels, the 2.4 kernels
place them in "kernel/drivers/net".  Admittedly, I use a 2.4 kernel I
compiled myself, so I could be mistaken in this regard.
Good luck,
Nate

Is the correct module being loaded when you insert the card?  I had to
create an entry in /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts to get cardmgr to load the
proper modules when the card was inserted.

Try running iwconfig with no arguments.  Your wireless card should show
up as one of the entries.  If it doesn't, the modules probably aren't
being loaded properly.
