Hi,
I've just bought a new actiontec PCMCIA fast ethernet card and I've
tried to use it in a RedHat 5.2 system on a Mitac laptop, both with
kernel 2.0.36 and 2.2.3. It isn't recognized so it doesn't work.
Is there anyone who knows how to make it working?
The exact model is : Actiontec FastNet pro 100 (mod num. ne2-01)
Thank you

Yes. The new Netgear FA310TX uses the PNIC Lite-On chipset. This chipset
has severe media detection problems, as well as having a delay in the
transmitter setup to attempt to cope with that.
There's an updated driver at Donald Becker's site
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/tulip.html that works a little
better, but last time I checked people were still reporting problems with
the PNIC.
There is also an updated tulip.c on Netgear's web site:

In case the modem is an internal, does linux see the extra serial port? My
guess would be the portsettings are incorrect. I know everyone says Linux
doesn't use BIOS but I always setup the onboard ports to COM13 or disable
them. Otherwise they will conflict with internal modems. If it is an
external modem set the ports in BIOS to something your mouse and internal
modem is NOT using. Never use com 2 and 4, and 1 and 3 together to avoid
problems. This may be not true by the books but it is in the real world.

Very nice. (P2B-DS, P-II 400MHz, 128Mb RAM) I can't speak for the tomcat
as I know nothing about it, but I've learned over the years not to go
the cheap route. My time is too precious to spend it fighting hardware,
especially something with the potential for problems as SMP.
I would strongly recommend 2.2.x kernel. I've run on 2.0.xx, 2.1.129,
and 2.2.1 now. Big kudos to the kernel team for 2.2.x. The system
overhead is next to nothing, compared to the 2.0 series. My server just
flys. I can hardly load it down unless I'm purposefully trying.

I am having trouble getting and Digital PC 5000-266 PII system to use
the build in DEC Chip 21143 ethernet controller. The onboard controller
works fine, when I am in my BORG BODY SUIT (ie Windows NT4.0 SP4) But I
am trying real hard to remove my BORG eye piece, Arm extender and body
suit ;) .
Anyhow enough of the sillyness. The red hat 5.2 CDrom install never
detected this controller, I have re-build a(several) kernals (modular
and monolitic) with the newest tulip.c (24-feb-'99). This kernal find
the controller but end's up with a warning about the transcever being
not found. When I tried a modular kernal I never saw the eth0: device
get reported in the message log. I use the xconfig tool changed the 'Y'
to a 'M' (PCI ether section was still 'Y') make boot; make clean; make
dep; make modules; make modules_install. cpoy the kernel, and
/sbin/lilo. Rebooted.

I can't get CD audio through my speakers and my Sound Blaster PCI 64.
* Works under Win98.
* Can play samples under Linux with /dev/audio
* When I play CD it seems to read fine, and I can hear using the headphones
on the drive.
* Kernel 2.2.2 with about all the sound stuff compiled as modules.
* RH 5.2
* Tried playing with the mixer settings. No effect.
* cat /dev/sndstat give "Operation no supported" or something like that.
* I read every HOWTO I could find, and scan Dejanews to death for info.
This is really driving me nuts.

Sounds like you have a resource conflict, and your board is old enough to have
onboard jumpers that you will need to use to disable the onboard port. (or DIP
swithches?)
Remove the modem, and when you boot up, pause the system at the BIOS banner
screen, and read what serial ports are detected at boot. if you see 2 different
ones, then you will have to find that pesky jumper or header that needs a jumper
to disable, that is if the board manufacturer decided to let you disable it.
even a 14.4K modem is new enough to almost certainly have a 16550A UART, so I
think that you are seeing the on-board port.

My problem is that I've followed all of the instructions I've found in

Kermit and minicom, setting it to look for the modem at /dev/ttyS0, to
no avail. In Kermit I've tried setting modem type to both usrobotics
and telepath. I'm running them as root so permissions shouldn't be
the problem. I've run setserial on the port and it reports a 16450
UART and the address and IRQ look fine. Neither Kermit or minicom
complained when initializing/connecting to the modem. I've looked at
/proc/interrupts before and during the modem programs. Before nothing
was shown for IRQ 4, during it showed activity for this interrupt.
Once I typed something and got a dialtone and some activity on the
line which I heard from the speaker on the modem but I typed another
key and it stopped. I had some hope for a second but I could not
repeat it. And once I got "trapped" in Kermit while connected to the
modem and could not issue the escape sequence to get out to the Kermit
prompt. I did Ctrl-z to suspend, and when I typed 'fg' to return, I
saw an "OK" as if the modem had replied. This too happened only once.
I am wondering if the modem takes forever to reply, but why wouldn't
my commands show up? At this point in the installation, does it even

Dear Thierry Francais,
It sould be as easy as setting up the serial port to use a faster
settings. I think after 38400 is 57600. Of course your modem and
serial port [if external] will have to support these baud rates.
I havn't got PPP setup yet on my system at home using Linux... I
recently got the drivers for my PCI Digi board working ... I just
started talking to my modem...
PS: For true 56K rates your service provider must be using ISDN
modems on the answering side... OTHERWISE, 28.8K to 33.6K is the max.
Good Luck,
James Kosin

Sorry if my question disturb you !
I'm searching for an X25 / Frame-Relay PC Card vendor with an IP software
Driver in order for routing IP stack over Wan connexion (ISDN X25 or
Frame-Relay).
Is it exist ?
What is the PC Card's manufactufer ?
Are the software drivers free ?
Do you believe in a Software Router like that ? Is it a competitive offer
(vs CISCO or 3COM) ?
Thank's to give us/me your suggestions / remarks

The original poster has provided conflicting information.
He says he has RH5.2 installed but his kernel version is
2.0.32.
RH5.2 is shipped with kernel version 2.0.36, which is
compatible with FAT32. Kernel 2.0.32 is NOT compatible
with FAT32.
Rodney Beede wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]...
What was the exact message of the error?
Make sure that the /mnt/disk directory exists, usually the /mnt directory
is
just alone so try a command like:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt
Also try typing in just "mount" and see if the Windows partition is already
mounted (probably by your /etc/ftab file"). Also double check that you got
the correct HDD, if Windows is on /dev/hda1 then the 6.4gb is the primary
master HDD.

I'll assume you were trying to be funny.
Regardless, I expect Linux will be there sooner than you think.
And how long do you think that I think it'll be?
There are too many very smart people trying to make it happen for
it to turn out otherwise.
Reread my post. I didn't say that it would not happen. On the other
hand, be honest. It still has a ways to go. Linux is an unbeatable
system. It is making terrific inroads. As I said, it's not there yet. It
was not a criticism, just an observation.

Hi
Will Linux work well on a 486? I've found a sale on IBM
486sx33/8mb/270hd
for $79.
Is this an OK machine for me to try Linux out on or should I get the
P75/16m/850 for $199?
At our user group meeting last night, the presenter was using two of them
to demonstrate firewalls, IP masquarading, DNS, and so on. Our area has
recently been blessed with both cable and DSL access for 75%+ of the area
residents, so everyone's been asking him "how do I..."
A 486-66 w/8meg, text only, is perfectly suited for this type of thing --
throw two "cheap" NIC's in it [isa slots only], and you have an instant
firewall that can easilly handle T1 speed connections
^^^
I think not. An old ISA nic card on a 486 will be damned lucky to do
200KB/sec in the configuration you discribe. Expect some serious slowdowns
on the boxes inside the 486linux firewall. This setup MIGHT be ok for
slower dailup on even ISDN but not with DLS or cable modems. I'm frankly
tired of hearing about this myth (probably started with success on dialup
connections) and have NEVER seen any data to support these old ISA 486's
keeping up with the 200KBytes/per second transfers often seen with cable
modems DSL.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. Get a P133 or with (=32Megs) for
this task and use PCI nic's.
