Re: [ilugd] Silan NIC
Which gives me an idea (this is just a shot in the dark). How did you install the newer kernel? May be yast still thinks that 2.6.18 kernel is the only one installed and hence in installing _binary_ package of ndiswrapper even when you are running the newer kernel. Installing ndiswrapper from source should be the fix then. Sharad Birmiwal On 7/27/07, Shiv [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Darshan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ndiswrapper module not found -- on 2.6.22 kernel. It works perfectly on the older 2.6.18 so I removed ndiswrapper with the yast software manager , then rebooted and again installed ndiswraper. Hi, Im not familiar with the yast software manager (im a debian/ubuntu person). There are two components to ndiswrapper. One is the command ndiswrapper that is used to load the Windows driver like so: # ndiswrapper -i INFfile Where INFfile would be the .inf file of you're card's windows driver. The other is the ndiswrapper *module* which has to be loaded into the kernel. The known way to do this is # modprobe -v ndiswrapper This looks for a kernel module called ndiswrapper.ko in your /lib/modules tree and loads it into memory. It is only after that that the iwconfig and ifconfig can be used to configure your wireless interface. You might have done all of the above before, but it still does not hurt to read up on ndiswrapper from here -- http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/index.php?/component/option,com_openwiki/Itemid,33/id,installation/ HTH, With Warm Regards, Shivkumar www.outbackwifi.com - Got a little couch potato?

However, I should admit that once I found that Alfresco met our needs, I did not investigate Dspace as closely. I had not seen alfresco. A quick look suggests that Alfresco is a more general purpose content management software. dspace and invenio are more specific in nature: they are designed to build digital collections for libraries. They are also specifically designed for academic libraries. It is of course possible that Alfresco does that job just as well. I would be terribly interested in seeing how you have implemented alfresco, and what all do you do with it. I take it that you are based in Delhi.

The usual consumer models that MTNL hands out are, as noted elsewhere in this thread, D-link DSL 502T models. They run a 2.4.17 kernel (at least mine does) (see http://www.lug-delhi.org/wiki/ConfiguringNetwork/MTNL_broadband) D-link has a record of GPL violations.

This, however, may have been an artefact of not choosing the correct option. Greenstone was more suitable. It would take documents as pdf or doc or txt or whatever, and do a commendable ocr based index, making them searchable. Retrieval was also easy. The problem with a departmental server, was that uploading manuscripts required administrator privileges, and the sub-division into collections prevented single search operations through the database.
