None of them gave me access to the network or link lights however ... I've tried recompiling the PCMCIA module without luck (in fact it went and got rid of my pcmcia.conf which sorta annoyed me a bit). It should have saved the old one at /etc/pcmcia/config.0 You might get a more reliable two-high-beeps if you set PCIC_OPTS=poll_interval=100 in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia How would I go about reinstalling PCMCIA support from scratch?

I get no link lights on the card for instance - it seems to be that the card is identified but Linux can't figure out what to do with it. If this is true, then you should get a high beep and then a low beep. I haven't got system beeps turned on but I'm willing to bet that its either only giving me the single identify beep or the low failed beep (as opposed to the double identify/activate beep). For getting going anyway, you might want to have them on. nor can I figure out how to stop and start the cards /etc/rc.d/initd./pcmcia stop ( or start, or restart as appropriate ) After bootup, a this should only be necessary if you have changed stuff inside /etc/pcmcia/ Ya but don't you have to stop individual cards before you pull them like you do under Windows? AFAIK PCMCIA STOP stops card services altogether - something that you won't want to do if say you want to pull the FDD whilst you've also got the NIC as you'll end up killing your network connection. If you want to stop an individual card, you can use the command: cardctl suspend or cardctl eject but its not usually necessary. You can just manually eject the card and the card services software will do all the necessary shutdown procedures for that card (so its NOT like Windows). (In your example, just be sure to unmount the floppy -- e.g. umount /mnt/floppy -- before you pull the card. Card services won't care, but your files on the floppy will!). A good idea, but the stock kernel supports pretty much any network card, if the kernel is confused about what module to load you can put a line in /etc/modules.conf to be explicit about which one to load: alias eth0 ne2 How would you ID it as ne2? Here's what I get when I run 'cardctl ident': Socket 0: product info: PCMCIA, 10/100 Ethernet Card, , manfid: 0x0274, 0x1106 function: 6 (network) The system logs will probably be more informative. This is what is in /var/log/messages on my Lib100 after inserting a Linksys network card: Feb 11 12:34:43 talitha cardmgr[490]: socket 0: Linksys EtherFast 10/100 Fast Ethernet Feb 11 12:34:43 talitha kernel: cs: memory probe 0x0d-0x0d: clean.

The second line depends upon your card opts and might not even exist for you The third line is the key, it indicates that the cs knows what to do with the card. If you don't have a line like that then you probably need to edit /etc/pcmcia/config so that your card is recognized. The HOWTO gives details. (My copy of /etc/pcmcia/config has a commented out NE2000 entry 'Too generic ?' that might be suitable for you to use).

It's 15v only - with a soap-on-a-rope adaptor in line - and has a car power adaptor, and then an adaptor from *that* to the in-flight connector. Oddly, the car adaptor is just too small for my car (Fiat) power point, so I have to wedge it a bit :) Sometimes the pretty green light goes out, but it still seems to work. It throws out RF but not enough to obscure - and as I tend to use it to listen to MP3 on the move, it doesn't matter. I dunno if it works on planes, I never get to sit in the expensive seats with power :) btw - it's probably not stable on 1.5A power supply because the effective output impedance is too high...1.5/12v equates to 1.2/15v and that's not really enough to run the lib...plus switch modes don't like (usually) to run without a load, it upsets their regulation. I made an adaptor for my 100CT by cutting off the Lib power connector from a frayed Toshiba AC power adaptor ( PA2501U ), and soldering it to a car DC power connector from Radio Shack (which also came with a little ring for use on car power plugs that are larger than standard). I used it two weeks ago on an 11 hour flight to Japan. I obviously didn't have the equipment to measure the current, but the 12V plug on the AA 777 (which did not need the in-flight connector BTW) kept my 100 fully charged the entire flight. -- Dr. Everett (Skip) Carter Phone: 831-641-0645 FAX: 831-641-0647 Taygeta Scientific Inc.INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1340 Munras Ave., Suite 314WWW: http://www.taygeta.com Monterey, CA. 93940 ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

Re: [LIB] Loaded linux mandrake the hard way

Is something wrong?? Do I need 32meg to run linux well?? I just want an mp3 player and gps See my earlier reply - you need 32M if you have any chance of M8.1 working well, it's a memory hog, particularly with kde2.2. It will still be slow - I did the timings as a comparison some weeks ago but I don't have them with me, but iirc around thre and a half minutes from power to kde desktop under M8.1. I'd recommend the upgrade anyway. You might be happier using a minimalist window manager, such as Blackbox, (http://blackbox.alug.org/) They require much less memory and don't take up valuable screen real-estate with a lot of clutter. -- Dr. Everett (Skip) Carter Phone: 831-641-0645 FAX: 831-641-0647 Taygeta Scientific Inc.INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1340 Munras Ave., Suite 314WWW: http://www.taygeta.com Monterey, CA. 93940 ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

Re: Battery source for 100
Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 09:29:40 -0800 From: Skip Carter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Battery source for 100 I sent a message while back but no one has been giving me an insight, yet. So, I would like to try again. My two batteries (PA2503U) were damaged and need to be replaced pretty soon. Do you have any idea where I can purchase either Toshiba's or any compatible? Any input will be greatly appreciated... I had to replace mine a few months ago. I purchased one from the Toshiba-USA web site and received it about 4 days later.

Re: Lib 50CT battery
Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2000 11:42:35 -0800 From: Skip Carter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Lib 50CT battery From: "Dave's Libretto Mail" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Lib 50CT battery How about looking for a replacement Li-ION battery pack for some other battery powered unit that uses the same size and chopping it open? Has anyone opened up Lib 100 battery? Mine is on its way out and if I can get into it without damaging the casing too much... I assume that its just clips holding it together, but which are the best places to put a knife / screwdriver to wedge it open with? After my Lib 100 battery recently died, I opened the case up by using a 1/4" wide screw driver. Pry it a little at a time along the seam. There is some double sided tape between the batteries and the case, so it makes some horrible breaking sounds as you pry it open, but when I did it anyway the whole unit was undamaged when I was done and it still snaps backtogether just fine. Inside were 6 Lithium-ion batteries that are slightly larger in diameter than a AA, and about 1/2" longer. I ordered a replacement battery directly from Toshiba-USA and received it in less than a week. -- Dr. Everett (Skip) Carter Phone: 831-641-0645 FAX: 831-641-0647 Taygeta Scientific Inc.INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1340 Munras Ave., Suite 314UUCP: ...!uunet!taygeta!skip Monterey, CA. 93940WWW: http://www.taygeta.com/skip.html ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---UNSUBSCRIBE--- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **
Re: HD upgrade 8mg limit

You should be able to set the virtual screen size to 800x640 and use whatever smaller size for the physical screen. You might want to try using the Blackbox window manager. It does not eat up so much screen real-estate. I use it on my Lib whenever I am running off the LCD screen. -- Dr. Everett (Skip) Carter Phone: 831-641-0645 FAX: 831-641-0647 Taygeta Scientific Inc.INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1340 Munras Ave., Suite 314UUCP: ...!uunet!taygeta!skip Monterey, CA. 93940WWW: http://www.taygeta.com/skip.html ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---UNSUBSCRIBE--- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **
