dell d800 hints?
I thought I saw during my searching that a couple of other people have dell Latitude D800 laptops. Are there any compiled pages of hints? or is there a pile that I should toss together on a webpage? I have it working, with X and network. I don't have the modem working (someone would need to write the glue for the linux kernel driver), sound is erratic (sometimes works after cold boot, sometimes not), and I don't have the acpi working (in fact, I don't even understand what the posts are saying :) Anyway, if people will send the bits and pieces of advice that should be had for this model, I'll toss them into a page like the one I have for the Thinkpad A21p. (I'm assuming that this model still only works with -CURRENT due to the network card). hawk -- Richard E. Hawkins, Asst.

If you've compiled the driver into the kernel, all you'll have to do is configure the IP settings for the device. If you intend on using the kernel loadable module, you'll have to kldload it before you configure the network settings. All is now well, and I have my regular programs building. DHCP network configuration even worked flawlessly. I have a permanent IP for the thing, but this (should) let me plug into the sockets at our main library as well (and I assume it will give me less hassle with ppp, too!) thanks hawk Regards, Andre Guibert de Bruet | Enterprise Software Consultant Silicon Landmark, LLC. | http://siliconlandmark.com/ -- Richard E.

Your logical CPU's aren't doing anything though, even though they are started up. John's explanation is correct. I've also got the report in dmesg, SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched! SMP: AP CPU #2 Launched!

Having just had a look at the patch, it's a little large to be typing in by hand. Here's the options I see for you: 1) the D800 has a serial port (rare on today's laptops). Hook up a modem or a null serial cable and network thusly to cvsup. 2) the D800 has a pccard slot.

bootstrapping network (bcm) on Dell D800
If I'm reading the recent messages correctly, the bcm driver won't work unless updated to approximately July 17. I burned 5.1 iso's, and installed most of it successfully. How do I bootstrap the network. I saw Bill Paul's references to testing a patch prior to committing it. Is this something I can apply singly to the source that comes on the ISO (and if so, just where do I grab it?), and then build a kernel, reboot, and update the rest of the source? thanks hawk, anxious to play with his new toy -- Richard E.
