[gentoo-user] Problems with bluetooth dongle and bnep
Hi, I'm trying to setup BNEP network with a gentoo box as as master in NAP mode. The client (dell laptop) connects using internal bluetooth module. Everything looks nice and happy. Laptop connects to my gentoo box, I set up bridge between eth0 and bnep0, dhcp allocates the IP and laptop becomes connected to my lan over bluetooth. Unfortunately after about a minute (and only standard windows-background traffic - roughly about 1KB each way) - the connection stops. I can't ping over it any more, but the bnep0 stays up. The only way to bring it back to shape is to remove the dongle from the usb port (removing the modules from the kernel doesn't seem to help). The dongle is made by Integrated System Solution Corp, its a KY-BT100 Bluetooth Adapter. Moving the dongle to a different usb port doesn't help. Restarting laptop doesn't help, which suggests that the problem is with the dongle. Any ideas or suggestions what might be causing the problems? regards pshemko -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Google around this, as I'm not sure whether root should see this 5% as available or not. regards pshemko -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Any ideas, thanks. Probably you didn't compile in the right chipset. Have a look in kernel config: Device Drivers -> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support and make sure that you have "Generic PCI bus-master DMA support" turned on together with the right chipset. regards pshemko -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] New Zealand Gentoo Users
I'd definitely be interested in taking part in that group. I have some experience with gentoo (since 1.4) and linux in general, can share some knowledge. Wouldn't mind learning some new tricks too ;-> regards pshemko On 01/08/05, Jamie Dobbs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'd like to scope out the interest that New Zealand based Gentoo users > would have to to establishment of a Gentoo Users Group specifically for NZ > based users. > > The items to be established are: > > 1/ Is there sufficient interest? > > 2/ Is there anything to stop us using the term "Gentoo Users New Zealand > (GUNZ)"? > > 3/ What should the aims of such a group be? > > 4/ How should such a group function/be structured? > > Apologies to all for a slightly off-topic post, but this is the only place > I can think of to gauge interest in such an idea. > > Thanks > > Jamie > > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > > -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Size of a gentoo mirror
Hi, Together with my boss we are thinking about mirroring gentoo (both distribution and packages) . Can someone tell me how much space should we reserve for that? regards pshemko -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I'd try to use the iproute2 package for that:
# ip route show
10.1.1.0/24 dev br0 proto kernel scope link src 10.1.1.2
127.0.0.0/8 via 127.0.0.1 dev lo scope link
default via 10.1.1.1 dev br0
# ip route add 10.20.0.0/16 dev br0
# ip route show
10.1.1.0/24 dev br0 proto kernel scope link src 10.1.1.2
10.20.0.0/16 dev br0 scope link
127.0.0.0/8 via 127.0.0.1 dev lo scope link
default via 10.1.1.1 dev br0
I guess that it should work the same for the other devices.
Before adding routing you should bring the interface up:
# ip link set tun0 up

The subjects are there, unfortunately, there is more the one pre message, which causes the confusion: for example: Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] OK, now this is weird-- where are the subjects?

I'm just guessing, but do you use any kind of hardened/secured version of any software? regards pshem -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
