Re: [leaf-user] Bering pcmcia package
Cass, On the Bering installation guide page: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bipackages.html In the pcmcia section, the following link is broken: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bering/latest/packages/pcmcia_full.lrp Yeah, I think I noticed this too. At one point or another from: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bering/latest/packages/ I grabbed pcmcia.lrp and what I needed from: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bering/latest/modules/pcmcia/ Although I've been going through fits with the wireless card I have, the 3c589 has been working extremely well on the old 486 I have here. Anyone know where this file exists? If so, does it contain the 3c589_cs.o and pcnet_cs.o modules? I'd like to see if I can get my old 486 laptop going with a couple of old pcmcia nics that use those modules. Thanks for any help! __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[leaf-user] Re: bering wireless bridge (some success)
With some info from Jim TerWee I've managed to get some of this working. Currently, I can get to the bridging laptap from anywhere on the my network, and from the laptop with the wireless card. However, I can't seem to get from the network to the laptop. I've poked around on the bridge laptop, but since this is fairly new to me, I'm not to sure what to look for. The only oddity I could find is from 'brctl showmacs br0' which lists all the mac addresses on the network (and the 2 in the bridge laptop), but not the one on the other laptop. -- Mark --- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Jabber - The world's fastest growing real-time communications platform!

Re: [leaf-user] Wireless PCMCIA and bridging
Jim, I'll take a look if you send it. I can understand the sleep for regular ethernet cards, but might a better place for it be in the bridge script? don't know what kind of problems this would cause. Jim TerWee wrote: How about I send you a working floppy image that I use. You can run that and see what you see. I can send you off list tonight. If there is interest from the group I can post some of the floppy images that I use in our wireless. Plus a pcmcia.lrp for Dachstein that includes Prism wireless drivers. As far as the sleep command that is for a conventional computer.

Re: [leaf-user] bering, pcmcia, wireless, and bridge
Manfred, Added a maxwait of 600 and a -x to the sh to see what's going on. The for loop on `brctl showstp...` isn't being entered, so $BREADY is still true and this kicks it out of the while loop.

[leaf-user] bering, pcmcia, wireless, and bridge
Using rc3, I've managed to get pcmcia and wireless to work. However bridge is another matter. I suspect part of my problem is my near lack of experience with debian. I've looked into it a little bit, and /etc/init.d/networking issues: br_add_bridge: Packge not installed after ifup -a. I also believe some of the variables are not set for the bridge scripts in /etc/networking Can anyone offer some pointers? -- Mark Gaba-Gaba-Hey --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Stuff, things, and much much more. http://thinkgeek.com/sf leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
Re: [leaf-user] bering, pcmcia, wireless, and bridge
Manfred, Loaded bridge.lrp and bridge.o wasn't anywhere to be found. Grabbed bridge.o from the web and put it in /lib/modules. This solved the br_add_bridge message. Looking at the scripts in /etc/networking, it looks like there's several variable which aren't initialized (IF_BRIDGE_PORTS for example). Should I be doing this as part of configuration, or should this be pick up out of /etc/network/interfaces? (sorry if I'm a bit weak on information, shell scripts have never been my forte).

Re: [leaf-user] bering, pcmcia, wireless, and bridge
Manfred, Have the eth entries commented out and the bridge entry uncommented in /etc/network/interfaces. My poking around in if-pre-up.d/bridge has /proc/net/dev empty (or with out any eth entries). As a guess, this is because pcmcia either hasn't run or isn't finished. My gut tells me this is the root of the problem. Further poking around confirms this as I see the bridge scripts exiting before hearing the beeps (and messages) from pcmcia. Manfred Schuler wrote: Mark, bridge configuration is done in /etc/network/interfaces. At the end of the file is an example bridge configuration In the bridge_ports line you list the devices you want to bridge, normally your internal interfaces. These devices must not be configured, so comment out the respective lines. Backup etc. In the file /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/bridge the line brctl addif $IFACE $i ip set dev $i up should read brctl addif $IFACE $i ip link set dev $i up Change this and backup bridge. -- Mark --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Stuff, things, and much much more. http://thinkgeek.com/sf leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
