NIC replacement
Hi, Something is rotten in the kindom of Danemark. Monday evening there was suddenly no internet connection. Neither in my computer (Debian etch) nor in my wife's (Windows XP). After bypassing the router, I was able to connect my wife's computer, but not mine. Neither in Debian, nor in windows or knoppix. Conclusion: probably the on-board NIC went bust. I entered the BIOS, and switched it off and then mounted instead a (very old) winbond 89C940 card that I had lying arond. Both windows and Knoppix worked happily with it. A google search & comparison of lsmod for Knoppix and Debian pointed to nek2k-pci.ko as the necessary module. After adding ne2k-pci to the /etc/modules of my debian, I rebooted it. The card was recognized and the module loaded (dmesg: eth0 winbond 89C940 found at 0xa000, IRQ204, 00:40:95:04:77:B6 ...and ne2k-pci.: v1.03 etc) but eth0 was not configured. lsmod confirmed that ne2k-pci.ko and 8390.ko had been loaded. What did I wrong, or failed to do? There was a hint in dmesg: to try "pci=routeirq" if any of the devices does not work. I have no idea where and how to use this hint. Can anyone give an example? To complete the mistery. After reset to factory defaults, the router worked again as new. An this morning, after reactivating the on-board NIC, everything works. Any hint will be most welcome.

I gave it to a friend who replaced a bunch of capacitors on the circuit board and it works fine now. The symptoms were increasing numbers of errors (as reported by ifconfig, nothing on the Windows computers), to the point where it would stop working until I removed the power and reset it. I prefer the realtek 8139 derivative NICs. They are really cheap (around 50 NIS) and are well supported in Linux, Windows, BSD and MacOS. They also perform reasonably well. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Cheers, Avraham udev has a rule which binds MAC addresses to interfaces (prevents the annoyance of having interfaces names changed on machines with several similar NICs after kernel upgrades). The downside: changing NICS requires modification of that rule. If you have udev installed, look for the file: /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules If you have it, you'll need to change the MAC address for eth0 to the new one (or remove that rule).

If I undertood Geoff correctly, it pays to avoid using the on-board NIC (this time it recovered), as next time, the misbehaviour of the router might damage the motherboard. I changed therefore the line in /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules as recommended by Meir and everything works. I just returned from town with a EDIMAX NIC, as I do not rely on that old card (I used it only, because, following Murphy, the trouble started late in the evening). It happens to be based on a RTL8139 chip.

Re: NIC replacement
Bonding MAC addresses to interfaces is a lifesaver when you have multiple NIC's Imagine writing up a bunch of iptables rules. Then upgrade your kernel. Suddenly, all of your interfaces are assigned to different NICs and you can't access anything!

brctl aborting?
Hi List, I'm creating tun interfaces, deleting them, and connecting them to a bridge (not necessarily in that order). Occasionally, brctl aborts in what looks like a call to abort(2). I get /bin/sh: line 1: 30963 Aborted sudo /usr/sbin/brctl show sw0 Now what may be causing it? Might it be the fact that in the same time other processes are playing with brctl {addif,delif} ? A quick peek at the brctl code show no reference to abort(), so it probably comes from a deeper place.

"all-in-one" ink printer : looking for recommendations
Hi, I'm looking into buying an all-in-one printer. I'll probably go for ink printer since I don't print too much and printing color output would be useful. The required/preferred specs are: - having good printer drivers under Linux. - working scanner functionality under Linux is highly desirable. - independent fax capability - preferably a machine compact in size. - shared printing: I need to be able to print to it from windows and linux. I don't mind how this is achieved (setting linux as a printer server, network presence of the printer, etc) as long as its easy (enough) to install and maintain. - under 1000nis (will this be a problem?... at least not much more than this limit). If you can share some of your experience that would be great!

CUPS is your friend. You can drive it from your Linux system and use SAMBA to share the printer. Or you can print directly to it from Windows using "Internet printing". (IPP?) The other way is to put the printer on the windows computer and print to it with SMBprint (part of the SAMBA package).

Re: "all-in-one" ink printer : looking for recommendations
I am working with HP psc2210 I am not sure if they manufacture it now but I am sure there are other models in the psc series. As much as I know all these models are supported under Linux. It has a fax/scanner The scanner works great using SANE. There should be a way to send a fax directly but I did not find it. The printer also contains card reader that works great under Linux. -- Ori Idan On Wed, Mar 12, 2008 at 2:51 PM, Geoffrey S.

It cost us 800 NIS at some online auction site. It prints fine in Linux and even from my Windows VMWare virtual machine. Setting up the drivers in Windows is a pain in the tusik (needs disk), but in KDE it is a simple wizard. The scanner works, it sends and receives faxes without the computer, and it has two print cartridges: one for B/W which was easy to refill with an ink kit, and one for colour. It is a compact unit, and we've had it for over two years. Highly recommended.

Re: k3b hangs system - must hard reset
Hi, One sad thing about HAL, hotplug and other "automation" scripts is that if your CDROM/DVD-R drive has issues, your machine is going to halt or "freeze", which seems like same thing happend to you.. My guess is that it's something wrong with your drive, which "freezes" the OS... I suggest you run k3b, but open konsole, and do: tail -f /var/log/messages - see if it prints anything.

Paper digital archiving solutions for Linux?
Hi, I have here a small "mountain" of documents - contracts, bills, etc.. Due to my 2 cats here, the "mountain" looks now like a total mess, so I thought to take the chance, scan everything and move to digital completely. I have talked to few lawyers and a representative from the Income Tax ("mas Hachnasa") and they told me that almost everyone will accept a photocopy of the original and in some rare cases you'll need some Stamp ("Hotmemt") & signature authenticating the paper.. So, I'm looking for a good Linux app which can scan and archive docs in something manageable and automatic, with support for SANE. I'm following the thread that Boaz started about looking for all-in-one, and what I found is OfficeJet Pro L7580. It has ADF functionaily (so you can scan several papers continuously), double side printing, Ethernet, fast printing, and the prices (according to ZAP, here: http://www.zap.co.il/model.asp?model_id=580152) is around ~890NIS. The only disadvantage - it's big, so if you're short on space, you should check the 6313 model (if you're into HP stuff). Any recommendation for such an app?

You could try keeping one ssh console from another computer open while running k3b to see if the system crashes completely or not and check for last second kernel messages.

Re: k3b hangs system - must hard reset
There are few things that you should check: 1. Did you enabled scsi support for the cdrom? 2. check ls -l /dev/sr0 /dev/scd0. I had once such a permission problem which wouldn't allow me to burn. This is how my ls -l /dev/cdrom /dev/hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Mar 7 08:11 /dev/cdrom -> hdc brw-rw 1 root cdrom 22, 0 Mar 7 08:11 /dev/hdc looks. In your case it should show something like lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Mar 7 08:11 /dev/scd0 ->sr0 brw-rw 1 root cdrom 22, 0 Mar 7 08:11 /dev/sr0 It looks like you need to have scsi support for the cdrom in the kernel (/dev/sr0). = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Generally, all HP printers are supported in Linux. I currently have an Officejet-6313 and before that had an PSC series one (can't remember the number, it was an all-in-one-but-no-fax model): * Both worked out of the box: - Scanning through sane (xsane, kooka in KDE, gimp sane plugin etc.) - Printing through cups (obviously) * The drivers are all in the hplip packages. * It also contain some handy utilities like: - hp-setup: Helps detect the device settings and add it to cups and sane. - hp-toolbox: A GUI utility (has a command line mode as well) to show other minitools (which can be used stand alone as well) for printer parameters, scanning, ink-level reading, faxing etc. * The old printer had only USB connection. The new one can be connected via USB or ethernet. I connected it to my local switch and can access/configure it via a web interface as well. * Almost forgot, it has some slots for various camera cards (XD, MMC, etc.) If the printer is connected via USB, they can be accessed as mass-storage devices. I didn't had much use for this feature so I chose the network based connection. * One thing I noticed on my previous printers from HP (didn't happen to the new one yet...) is that when they get a bit old, pages tend to get stuck in the feeder very often. I stopped using an old Laserjet (1100) after I got to the point when I had to manually feed page by page.

I can second Ori's testimony with a PSC 2410 we have for two years and works perfectly. That said, I just noticed that a colour laser printer (NOT all in one, just printer) wasn't much more expensive than a B/W laser printer. I haven't checked how it works with B/W vs. colour cartridges refills for it but the price per page ratio is very tempting. I don't print much but that's mostly because I feel a pain every time I have to shell out money for the B/W ink cartridge (tried to refill once and got it dribbling all over the place, and I heard warnings about using non-vendor refills that can block the printer). Bottom line - don't discard the laser option, it might not be so much more expensive and will save money in the long run. --Amos = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
