Re: [gentoo-user] Wireless
Linksys has used thee chips (that I am aware of) in their cards. If your box actually has the Cisco logo on it, then that eliminates the oldest of the chipsets. The two remaining are Prism2 (Linksys version 2.5 and 2.6, I think) and Broadcom (Linksys version 2.6). Getting the Prism2 card to work is pretty easy. Just check out www.linux-wlan.org. The wlan-ng is the package you're looking for, which appears to be available in the portage tree. If you have the Broadcom chip, then your mileage may vary. Linksys used to support Linux, but now that Cisco owns them, I wouldn't bet on it. Cisco's support for Linux is rather hit or miss. Sometimes they jump on board (ie when they first released their TACACS source code), other times they don't. So we may or may not see official drivers in the future. But in the meantime, you might want to look at www.linuxant.com. I have the 802.11g version of the Broadcom chip in my laptop and the driverloader middleware from linuxant.com is working for me.

Re: [gentoo-user] Untarring does not work.
Did a little bit of research. Looks like support for bzip2 files was added to GNU tar in 1999, but it used a gnu-style switch (--bzip2/--unzip2). The Changelog doesn't mention when that was changed to -j, however. Nuckerl Stefan said: Damn folks, you are right -j option should work on a gentoo box.

Hi, if I do, in the very beginning of install: 'tar -xvjpf /mnt/cdrom/stages/stage3-*.tar.bz2' *nothing* happens. The tar is not taking mem, nor cpu time if I look with 'ps -e u | grep tar'. The system is a PI 100mhz with 32mb of ram (an IBM PC 350). I know this is not much, and I'm not installing KDE or something, just try to untar the file I just got with FTP, the live-cd I'm using Is the old 'ut2K3 demo livecd'. If I do 'tar -c archive.tar poo bar' (poo and bar created before), that works, It creates the archive. But when I try to do 'tar -x archive.tar', I see the same behaviour, nothing happens. Can somebody help me out, some hints, tips to find the actual problem? I heard about 'strace', is that on the livecd? My guess is, is that my tar is broken(?!?).

[gentoo-user] modem keeps hanging up - the saga continues
Ok, some snippage and I have combined some responses here, sorry if that proves to be annoying, but I wanted to get my thoughts all on one track. Oh, this is long winding and some of it is OT. Very sorry. Please humor me. Thamk you all for your help. It's an external hardware modem on ttyS0. And I am connecting, otherwise you wouldn't be seeing this email. I'm just not staying connected. It's so simple then ... Ok, I'm going for you. You are here for the action. It's like geek reality TV. Well, reality mailing list at least. 1. start your inet connection 2. kill the program which communicates with modem (kill -9 something) Ok, kill -9 1771 (which is wvdial) 3. start minicom -o (without initialization of modem) Got it. Actually I have used the DOS version of this program. Back in the day. 4. command atv will show u actual modem setup Now the problems start. First I saw nothing on the screen at all. I turned on local echo, so now I can see the command when I type atv, then I hit enter nothing. Does this mean something isn't working? Or does this mean I don't know what I'm doing? PPPD is still active, it's shows in 'top'. U can save actual setup using atw command. U can restore saved setup by atz command. Command atf restores setup to factory predefined. So if u compare saved outputs of atv (after step 3.) and after atf, u will find the right init string. Yes I know, it's simple to do on any linux or unix system, but how to run steps 1-3 on M$hit, is a double dutch for me, but maybe u know it :-). noro Well, I found out how to get some info from Winblows. It seems that wincrap keeps a log of the last modem session.

Re: [gentoo-user] many apps fail after upgrading gcc
sorry, i was in a rush to leave for work this morning and now that im rereading my message i can see that i was lacking in some clarity... so heres more of a detailed explanation: last week i had started my trip to the bleeding edge pretty gently. i had a 2.6.0 kernel and decided to get the linux-headers to match. got the headers, added nptl to my use flags, recompiled kernel, then glibc. all is well. nptl works. i passed on recompiling my whole system just yet because of the problems with X and svgalib. moving to the end of last week i started using the 2.6.0-mm series. impressed with the mm branch this week i moved to the 2.6.1-mm line. note, since the first time i recompiled glibc, i have not done it since. yesterday i noticed a glibc upgrade so i decided to go for it. however before the build process started i got an error about the kernel or headers or something being incompatible with nptl. from here i assumed that it was because my headers didnt match my kernel. to my dimay (or maybe i just dont know something that everyone else does) i could not find any 2.6.1 linux-headers. after some toying around i decided to go ~x86 and started upgrading packages... first portage... then gentoolkit.. then binutils... then gcc.. BAM... after gcc upgraded to 3.3.something (the lastest inportage as of yesterday).. most apps that i open say they cant find libstdc++.so.5 which isnt suprising because it doesnt exist anymore... so is there a sane way for me to go about fixing this problem or do i just never upgrade gcc? or is there a certain way of upgrading gcc as to not break things... thanks again, Frank whats the standard way of upgrading gcc? i just started using ~x86 last nite and upgrading gcc completed - but is now throwing more errors on libstdc++.so.5 even emerge throws errors on it. so i cant emerge anything else. any idea whats going on? im using a 2.6.1-mm5 kernel with 2.6.0 linux-headers (because 2.6.1 headers arent out in portage apparently) with NPTL in glibc (compiled when my kernel matched my headers, last week). thanks. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Installing on HP xw8000, scsi problems
Hi there, I'm trying to install Gentoo on a HP xw8000 computer (2 Xenon 3.0 GHz processors) but have some SCSI problems. The computer has been setup with only a SCSI and no IDE harddrive. The IDE CDROM works OK. The SCSI controller is a dual channel Ultra 320SCSI. At boot I use # gentoo doscsi (I've tried smp doscsi but my screen goes black , even if I add the nofb and/or agpgart option) There is only an empty /dev/scsi directory and no sdXX entries in /dev after boot. The gentoo hardware detection procedure finds only one processor (of course, standard gentoo kernel), the mouse at /dev/psaux, the netowrk device at eth0 and the sound and videocard. All that stuff seems OK. But no SCSI controllers or devices.

i always just do one of the following:

[gentoo-user] Weird problems with sendmail mbox delivery
Hi, I'm currently migrating a mail server over from RH to Gentoo. I installed sendmail and qpopper without problems. However, sendmail 8.12.10 keeps delivering incoming mail to the users' maildir (~/.maildir/new) instead of /var/spool/mail, which is what I need for the pop server to pick up the mail. I checked the net-mail/sendmail-8.12.10 ebuild, which clearly says that it installs the mbox delivery mechanism by default. I even tried setting the USE flags to mbox and finally to -maildir, but nothing seems to have any effect - sendmail still dumps incoming mail into the maildir. What am I doing wrong here?

That's what I see. So my question is that we know the devices are attached to an IDE controller and we want to determine whether DMA is enabled for the IDE controller. How do we do it? 1) Some different program *like* hdparm that tells us? 2) Run some sort of benchmark that shows us? 3) Something else? Of course, you've sort of shown me that I might not need SCSI emulation anyway, but I'm not sure which way to go and why just yet, so I'd like to know how to make DMA is enabled in the channel. I googled some time back for a solution to this, tried a few suggestions, none of which worked. As far as I can see, if you're using scsi emulation you can forget about DMA. That doesn't seem right, after my experiences with SuSE. (I'l still in the process of my first Gentoo install...) I have a combo CD-RW/DVD drive that uses SCSI emulation (under SuSE). I discovered the need to turn DMA on when DVDs/VCDs wouldn't play back correctly. (Jumpy playback...) I turned it on with their gui, and everything worked correctly. On the flip side, when playing aroung with Fedora, SCSI emulation simply wasn't needed. I did have problems with playback on one of the computers, but that was tied in with the video driver I was using. (I haven't had a chance to push the limit with Gentoo, so later on I may ask for help with finding the right driver, but I'm still in the poking around stage.) So, DMA can be used, but how it's done under Gentoo is beyond me. But it might not be needed. (With Fedora, it was a complete non-issue.) Krikket -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
