[expert] Wireless lan card setup?
Hi Guys, I'm really rather new to pcmcia and wireless lan in general, however I was recently given a wireless pcmcia card which uses the wvlan_cs driver and thought I would try to get this up and running. However I'm not exactly sure how to do this? Do I: 1) add an entry to modules.conf that sais: alias eth1 wvlan_cs 2) goto /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and edit ifup-eth1 and add the WIRELESS device entries? 3) start eth1 and I should "in-theory" be able to use the wireless nic? If I'm missing something here I'd like to know. I know the card works as it has been detect in both windows and linux properly. Thanks Guys, anyhelp is greatly appreciated.

Hi, We have a mail server, and for the moment anyway, windows users (although I'm hoping for a few Linux converts with our new terminal server setup :-) ). We have a setup on the mail server where an anti-virus program can be called from the command line before the IMAP folders receive the mail. There is no need for some complex Trend anti-virus with pre-packaged SMTP. The way it was set up, normal command line mail tools still work. I didn't set it up and actually I don't know a lot about these things :-) I just know in a situation with mail, keeping it simple and being able to used time honored tools can be a very good thing. Is F-Prot viable in a setup like this? It seems a lot cheaper than some other solutions. Dev-Zone is a non-profit organisation, so these things count.

I am running 8.2 with xinerama, and it worked out of the box with kde 3.0.2 packages. The X configurator asked me if I wanted xinerama version or just plain screen (Matrox G550). The boxes are of course grayed out if the xinerama is not enabled on the server itself. In kde xinerama options only tell the window manager to be aware of xinerama and make more intelligent window placement decisions. Even without that, you should be have two screens up and running and you should be able to move windows across the two screens at will. Teemu Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] kde and xinerama question
Dean, You need to recompile the kdelibs package. When you are recompiling it, ensure that --enable-xinerama is passed to the configure script. If that does not help, contact me off the list and I will try to help you. Balaji On Friday 12 July 2002 14:34 pm, Dean S. Messing wrote: > Todd Lyons writes > > :: Dean S.

I have read the HOWTO (several times). (a) It is old; at the time it was written KDE was not "xinerama aware". Now it (supposedly) is. (b) My problem is _not_ getting xinerama to work. It _is_ working just fine. I can slide windows from one monitor to the other. Also the xinerama extensions _are_ enabled in /etc/X11/XF86Config. There is no problem with X and Xinerama. But the _window manager_ (indeed all of KDE) acts as though it is unaware of the two physical monitors so that, for example, if I horiztonally maximise a window it stretchs across the whole desktop.

[expert] Sound Is Impossible
It's taken me 4 weeks of fairly constant tinkering, adjustment and experimentation to arrive at the conclusion that it is impossible to configure my sound card - which seems remarkable as in most ways it is getting recognised. Forgive the long post but if anyone has anything constructive to add at least all the information should be here :o) Hardware Configuration ABIT VP6 mother board Twin Pentium III processors 1000 mhz 512Mb ram 1 x 40 Gb drives 1 x HP CdROM RW 1 x Adaptec SCSI I/F 1 x Travan SCSI tape 1 x GE Force 2MX video card 1 x Creative Blaster 4.1 Digital Software Started with a purchase of Mandrake 8.0 Powerpack because I liked 7.2 Currently using 8.2 because it came on the cover of Linux Today and I hoped it would self-configure the sound. The Bios in the machine has been tried with plug'n play switched on and off. It's currently on Information Output from dmesg shows no recognition of a sound card at all, though there have been times during this saga when I have seen es1371 mentioned.

Checking further I find that in Control Centre my board is recognised as an Ensoniq 5880 Audio PCI using kernel module es1371 (which was why I used this module when setting up modules.conf) The configuration tool produces nothing however and neither does sndconfig. The IRQ is 11 and is shared between advansys, usb and ensoniq The ports are cc00-cc3f Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI Interestingly the PCI report states: 00:0b.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (rev 02) Subsystem: Ensoniq: Unknown device 8001 Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 I/O ports at cc00 [size=64] Capabilities The last line certainly makes me gnash my teeth because I can't see why that would be the case, however... I am at the end of my tether. The card appears to be recognised and has a module available but has defied all my efforts to get a peep out of it. If there are any suggestions I would be more than willing to hear/try them out. As I say, after 4 hard weeks I figure I'm out of ideas and patience. The only thing I can say for certain is that there are plenty of people writing to a variety of ngs using this chip-set who
Re: [expert] kernel building questions
Have you tried compiling reiserfs into the kernel instead of a module? I know you can use the mkinitrd to make a ram disk with all of the modules you need to load before the file systems can be mounted, but I have found it easier (sometimes) to just compile it in. - Jason B.
