Re: [ilugd] NICs on RHEL 4.0

2006-11-14 Thread Naresh Narang
Finally trying to write udev rules based upon mac address:
#udevinfo -a -p /class/net/eth0
looking at class device '/sys/class/net/eth0':
SYSFS{addr_len}=6
SYSFS{address}=00:0b:cd:4e:31:c1
SYSFS{broadcast}=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
SYSFS{features}=0x11a3
SYSFS{flags}=0x1003
SYSFS{ifindex}=2
SYSFS{iflink}=2
SYSFS{mtu}=1500
SYSFS{tx_queue_len}=1000
SYSFS{type}=1
follow the class device's device
  looking at the device chain at '/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:05.0':
BUS=pci
ID=:00:05.0
SYSFS{class}=0x02
SYSFS{detach_state}=0
SYSFS{device}=0x16a6
SYSFS{irq}=177
SYSFS{subsystem_device}=0x00bb
SYSFS{subsystem_vendor}=0x0e11
SYSFS{vendor}=0x14e4
  looking at the device chain at '/sys/devices/pci:00':
BUS=
ID=pci:00
SYSFS{detach_state}=0

Based upon above i made two rule and put them in 
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
#SYSFS{address}==00:0b:cd:4e:31:c1, NAME=eth0
#SYSFS{address}==00:0b:cd:4e:2e:f7, NAME=eth1
BUS==pci, SYSFS{irq}==177, NAME=eth0
BUS==pci, SYSFS{irq}==185, NAME=eth1

Both sets above fails stating  the above in logs
Nov 13 17:16:06 Servername udev[7497]: parse error 
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules, line 3:0, rule skipped
Nov 13 17:16:06 Servername  udev[7497]: parse error 
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules, line 4:0, rule skipped

does anyone have any clue?

Yashpal,

 But the question is why MAC address is swapping between the two NICs. You 
should contact HP support. To me, this looks like a hardware issue.

 Can we keep this on the list? Others can ship in and also help?

 The procedure described in the way to go. That is why I have been
 asking out out of /var/log/messages (when card is inserted and then
 removed) to first determine if the module needs to be loaded or is
 already getting loaded and device assigned.

 Once we get the device assigned (/dev/ttyS0 in the article) then we
 move on to modem initialisation strings. Usually atz is sufficient
 but this may also involve extended strings just like the article
 describes for making voice calls. Or as Spoonmans post earlier
 suggested. Nokia site has a pretty comprehensive document covering lot
 of extended init string syntaxes.

 Some getting the feet wet issue to be overcome but likely chances are
 good to get this working. If any one at ILUGD has ATZ card and is
 willing to bring t to next meeting we try to carck this but till then
 we will have to make a attempt on doing this with emails.

 Please see the following mail of mine. Till now I have not found a solution

Please take the following with pinch of salt but this is more or less
how I have got many connections working. And sorry for jumbled reply.
I do hope to make a wiki at some site soon.

The link given by you above provides the clue that card is detected
and is being assigned to ttyS3

SO modules or drivers are not the issue but you need to concentrate on
the init string. My suggestion would be:
Step 1
In one terminal as sudo run tail -f /var/log/messages
In the second terminal first become root by sudo su - and then do
echo atz  /dev/ttyS3 and see if any messages are shown in
terminal 1(there should be none)? If the command prompt is returned
without error on terminal 2 then command is getting piped to the card
if not then wrong module/driver is getting attached.
If the latter then you need to work out which module is getting loaded
by using lsmod and then use module blacklist to make sure this does
not get loadded and manually load the correct modules needed. If the
former (more likely as the card is getting /dev/ttyS3) proceed to next
step.
Step 2
If the card is running on a win machine near you try to see if you can
come up with modem init string from there. Or google for such strings.
Or try at+crm=1;+cso=33 Or any other string that you are able to
google out.
When the correct string is run you will see no errors in the first
terminal where tail -f /var/log/messages is running when a
connection is initiated by any ppp connection programs.

IMHO nothing is going to go wrong on modem or computer with improper
stringyou may have to take out the card and reboot but thats just
about it.

[ilugd] Re QUERY: Will this solution work with a Reliance ZTE datacard?

2006-11-14 Thread Frederick Noronha
Nothing quite works with the ZTE card. Am on the point of giving up.
Have written to ZTE [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Sierra Wireless AirCard
555 does work though, and it's setup is documented in the July 2006
issue of LINUX FOR YOU (New Delhi).

On the #linux-india chatroom on Freenode, someone mentioned that the
Sierra card costs three times as much. But Reliance told me (on the
phone) that it is also sold at the same price (Rs 5000).

It would make a lot of sense if ZTE had worked out some solution for
the GNU/Linux operating system. Incidentally, I came much further on
the SuSE operating system (sorry, this is a politically incorrect
thing to now say, thanks to Novell!!!) than I did with Ubuntu. We
tried everything. Different init strings (including those suggested on
the Windows-only setup that comes on the mini-CD enclosed) and
blacklisting some possibly-conflicting modules. But nothing much
worked.

So, in a word: if you want to go wireless on Reliance... don't go ZTE.
At least not until China's second largest telecom hardware company
decides to be more GNU/Linux friendly. Am not sure, but was told that
Huawei also works, but haven't tried or seen this out myself.

Just sharing this in case others are stuck at the same point that I
have (along with others like Prof Prabhat Ranjan, who has tried quite
a bit and given some useful online tips too). FN

PS: ZTE, don't ignore GNU/Linux!
