[gentoo-user] Kernel 2.6.3 and Orinoco Patched Drivers
Hello, I am running gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.3 but am looking to be able to get my wireless card into promiscus mode. The only way to do this with an Orinoco card is to use the patched drivers. I have search for a couple hours now and have yet to find a fix. I did see that some developer made a patch for the 2.6.0 kernel but i am not sure this would work for me. Any ideas on where i can get a patch for my kerenel? -Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo and iptables
You could try using iptables-save as the command to save the iptables. I believe that is what i did and it worked fine. -Mark On Sunday 25 January 2004 11:52 am, Roy Kidder wrote: I'm having a hard time figuring out how Gentoo loads its iptables rules via the init script. I've edited /var/lib/iptables/rules-save (adding rules allowing inbound DHCP, inboubt tcp with the established bit set, etc, etc) and then run /etc/init.d/iptables start which looks like it runs just fine (it loads the modules ip_tables and iptable_filter). But when I look at the tables (iptables-save), all I get is this: # Generated by iptables-save v1.2.8 on Sun Jan 25 11:39:24 2004 *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [8:8156] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [7:364] COMMIT # Completed on Sun Jan 25 11:39:24 2004 If I add the same rules from hand via the command line, it works just fine, however. Anyone have any idea? Thanks, Roy -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] mounting winxp-vfat
just do a mkdir /mnt/c as root then try it -Mark On Tuesday 23 December 2003 02:38 pm, Chris wrote: I need to move some things from winxp-vfat-hda1-C to gentoo-hdb3 so I looked in the forums http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=29285 for a how to while the list was down the couple days and found one.

[gentoo-user] Freeze on Emerge Compile
I am having a problem where my computer will freeze during long compiles. The computer works fine every other time and i have never had a problem with it. I have tried to do the emerges with X running, without X running, after a fresh restart, after leaving it powered off. No luck yet. I checked the logs also and there is nothing in them that would be the reason for the freezing. Any ideas? -Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Freeze on Emerge Compile
My thought was that it probably is the memory i have. I will run some diagnostic tests on it to see what the problem is. I'll post back when i have found a solution. Thanks for the help. -Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Which CD set to get
snip The verbiage about gentoo CD sets includes packages optimized for x platform. My assumption is that this means chiefly the kernel. Is that correct, or are other optimzations also involved? There are other optomizations involved also. The platform specific cd include packages such as gcc which have been compile for the Athlon XP. The kernel its self is not at all optomized and has to be compiled by you. I further assume I could get any of the x86-compatible CD sets and compile optimized kernels for whatever platform (in which case it seems reasonable to get the Athlon XP set). Is this correct as well? For the mixture of machines that you have i would suggest the base cd, and if u wanted to save time could download the platform optimized stages from the internet as needed. I'm an experienced Linux user, but not a kernal compilation whiz, so am looking at what's easiest as compared to what's best. When i switched to gentoo i was also not all that experienced in kernel complation, but you learn really quickly. I would suggest that you make note of your hardware now and check your redhat kernel for its configuration. On a side note you could save your redhat kernel config file and then use it to compile the redhat sources, which are available in portage. Happy switching -Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

If you can remember how the disk was laid out -- what the partitions were, what order they were in, what types they were, and how big they were -- then I think there's a way you can rewrite the table. I would guess that you could probably just re-enter the data in cfdisk or similar, but I'm not sure. Can anyone back me up on this?

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge sync error
You need to add it as SYNC_PROXY= for it to sync. the http_proxy is for downloading the files not syncing.
