The thing is that ndiswrapper won't build (with m-a) using
linux-image-2.6.15-1-686. I have attached the m-a generated log file.
I used linux-image-2.6.12 but I had to reinstall and linux-image-2.6.12

Now ifconfig is showing 169.254.106.31, which means that the other machine, which has address 192.168.0.101 can't see me. What is strange is that I'm getting the normal DHCP setup messages on the console: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from 192.168.0.1 bound to 192.168.0.100 -- renewal in 302400 seconds. Your router should be proving the same information as before to your PC (assuming you haven't change/updated etc anything on your router). It doesn't make any sense at all. I would try capturing network traffic. Any trace of the 169.254.106.31 DHCP request? (check /var/log/daemon.log) Is there any static ip configuration on your /etc/network/interfaces ? but the actual address is different. I tried disconnecting the router from the outside world, and the address then was 192.168.0.100 (which is what I used to get, and what I want). I presume that when I'm connected, the DHCP request is getting transmitted to my ISP and its reply is being picked up and is overwriting the 192.168.0.100 allocated by the router. The problem seems to be on your router, not your client. Maybe you misconfigured it out somehow. If your router is working as a DHCP server it shouldn't retransmit any requests to your ISP. What kind of router is this? Is it possible to make dhclient filter out any address which is not 192.168.0.x so that my network works? Definitely not the way to go I'd say. And I don't know if this can be done. jorge -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Laptop battery
It would seem that I've been 'sold a pup', but before getting a new one (assuming one can be found), I just wondered if anything in the Debian software could be misconfigured.

I noticed that the eth0 in 2.6.15 does not have an Rx or Tx rate while the eth0 in 2.6.12 does. Once again, I would like to reiterate that the route table for 2.6.15 is empty. I don't think the route table has anything to do with dhclient not working but the other way around. dhclient not working is the reason the route table is empty.

Re: Video Driver
Henrique Rennó wrote: One more question. When I boot my system directly to X (passing 5 at inittab) it stops at a login screen and it enters in blackbox (the X manager that I am using) but without running bbkeys. I've put the /usr/bin/bbkeys command in the /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file before /usr/bin/blackbox but it just works if I boot at level 3 and type startx in the shell. I've tried copying the xinitrc file to ~/.xinitrc but it didn't work too. ~/.xinitrc is read when X is started via startx. Try ~/.xsession http://cs-www.bu.edu/help/unix/the_.xsession_file.html BTW is good practice to edit ~/.xinitrc instead of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc unless you want it globally changed.
