[newbie] Problems with ipw2200 and MDK 10.1
Hi. I have a laptop running MDK 10.1. After looking through several howto's/forums/etc. I did the following trying to get my ipw2200 to work: 1) Download and install kernel source 2) $ su # mkdir /lib/hotplug/firmware /etc/firmware # tar zxvf ipw2200-fw-2.2.tgz # cp *.fw /etc/firmware # cp *.fw /lib/hotplug/firmware # urpmi ipw2200-dkms-0.19-1mdk.noarch.rpm 3) Use the KDE configuration tool to configure the connection 4) Edited /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 - since it wanted the MAC address to be loads of zero's. When I do # ifup eth1 I get: grep: /etc/sysconfig/networking/default/ifcfg-*: No such file or directory interface 'eth1' not found Determining IP information for eth1.failed This is not really strange since there is no 'default' directory in /../../networking. Can anyone help me with this? -Henriette Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

[newbie] Problems with Ipw2200 BG
Hi. You've probably all seen a question like this before, but here goes I have a laptop running MDK 10.1. I'm trying to get my wireless adapter to work. I've been looking through different mailing lists, forums etc. but what I really need is a step-by-step guide getting this to work. I can see that Mandrake already comes with a driver but what to do with thisI haven't a clue. Please help. -Henriette Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG
Hi. Has anyone here any experience getting a Intel pro/wireless 2200BG to work under (Mandrake 10) linux? Apparently it's only suppose to work with a 2.6.4+ kernel (see link below) and since I'm running a 2.6.3-something kernel I probably need to do something about this - help please. -Henriette http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/
Re: [newbie] Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG
Now here comes the silly question (since I've never touched the kernel before). Do I just installed the rpm file and hope for the best, or? Step-by-step instructions, please :o) Thanks -Henriette <-Original Message-> >From: Kaj Haulrich >Sent: 7/16/2004 6:06:45 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [newbie] Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG > >On Friday 16 July 2004 17:49, Kaj Haulrich wrote: >> On Friday 16 July 2004 17:08, Henriette Holm wrote: >> Hi. >> Has anyone here any experience getting a Intel pro/wireless >> 2200BG to work under (Mandrake 10) linux? >> Apparently it's only suppose to work with a 2.6.4+ kernel (see >> link below) and since I'm running a 2.6.3-something kernel I >> probably need to do something about this - help please. >> >> -Henriette >> >> http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/ >> >> Eventually, you can install Thomas Backlund's kernel 2.6.4. >> Can't remember where it is right now, but google is your friend. >> >> HTH >> Kaj Haulrich. > >Sorry to repost to my above answer, but here it is : > >http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/mandrake/10.0/contrib/i586/kernel-tmb-2.6.4-1.tmb.5mdk-1-1mdk.i586.html > > >HTH >Kaj Haulrich. >-- >*sent from a 100% Microsoft-free workstation* >*http://haulrich.net* >*Running Linux (Mandrake 10.0) - kernel 2.6.3*
[newbie] Konqueror file management
Hi. In Mandrake 9.1 it's possible to use Konqueror for file management using two windows (like explorer in Windows :-/ ). Anyway, now I'm using Mandrake 10 anf this feature seems to have wanished. Where do I find it? If I open Konqueror and those the file management profile I get one window, and if I those file preview I get three ?! -Henriette Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Three small questions.......
Hi. I just installed Mandrake 10 and I'm quite happy with it. I just have three (quick) questions: 1) There used to be this small tool in KDE showing the different partitions. It was found under the KDE menu - Information - Partitions. Anybody knows where it is now? 2) On the desktop the icons seems to be very close together - almost on top of each other. Is there any way of changing this? 3) After the installation I noticed two weird mounts: /mnt/hd and /mnt/hd2. They both seem to be empty and they don't have anything to do with the actual partitions on my hard drives, since these are mounted as /mnt/win_c, /mnt/win_c2 and /mnt/win_c3. Any suggestions or do I just remove then in my fstab?
