Re: [newbie] Laptop hp ze4325us boot freeze solved on 10.1 community (acpi) and wlan--Thanks to all
A big thank you to all who helped me. I am sitting in my Lazyboy sending this from a linux box that for the first time since Mandrake 7.2 does everything I want it to do. I am going to enjoy this for a few weeks and then when I get 10.1 Official I will try breaking it by building a kernel with ACPI support and getting the built in ACX100 driver to work. I am currently using the Linuxant package and it works quite well and was easy to install. Pat Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Download HTTP?

I don't know if this would slow down an FTP connection, it doesn't make sense to me, but the point is it's download really really slow. Anyway, I'd like to try http or something instead of ftp, and helpers? What Sat service are you using? If it is directway, they have a thing called FAP that limits you to about 150 MB down load at full speed and then slows to a crawl. Most other sats have similar policies. I put up with this for years until I got DSL. If this is the case, the least frustrating solution is to order a se of disks from cheap bites or some other site that will ship them for a minimal charge. Check the fine print at your providers site or give them a call. Pat Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Laptop hp ze4325us boot freeze solved on 10.1 community (acpi)
Sounds similar to my Compaq 2100's issues. I was able to setup/load a custom DSDT, which solved the ACPI and related problems. (Although prism54 still doesn't work as I hit the usual, mfg changed internals but kept the same product number. Ndiswrapper works for me, from sourceforge.) Some help on setting up a DSDT: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/HardwareHowTo#ACPI_Cust om_DSDT HTH, -- Stew Benedict Mandrakesoft Tried ndiswrapper had some problems. Am working on using the on board acx100_pci. If it doesn't work I will try it again. thanks for the acpi tip I will make that my next project. Currently I am trying the linuxant package and at least it fires up the card and lets me confgure it Once I get it running I will try an open source solution Thanks, Pat Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Laptop hp ze4325us boot freeze solved on 10.1 community (acpi)
This did not seem to go through the first time. Fixed this and thought I would report it here and in twiki. HP ze4325us Athlon chip, Ali chipset, Radeon video. UNknown motherboard. This machine installed 10.0 great. Under 10.1 installs and freezes on reboot. I tried noapic noalpic noacpi nodma and none worked. What works is: linux acpi=off Once it boots add acpi=off to lilo. After I got it working I did a clean install. I found out that if you scroll down when you get to the final setup screen there is an entry for boot. Unchecking the acpi enabled button, solves the problem. Still cannot get a wireless card to work. It is recognized but does not seem to come on. I wi ask question after I have tried a few things but if anyone has any words of wisdom they will be welcome :-) Does anyone know if having acpi of effects wireless?

Re: [newbie] Wireless wpc54g ver2
You need the proprietary firmware for your card from your Windows CD This HOWTO should help you http://www.houseofcraig.net/acx100_howto.php Firmware usually goes in /lib/hotplug/firmware in Mandrake although the HOWTO mentions a different location. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Thanks I will look it up and try it. I thought it might be something like that but I could not find anything that said so. Let you know how i goes thanks again Pat Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Hi Kevin, Last night I got the dwl 120 e configured with minimal problems. I should have worked but it did not. This evening I did a little more research and discovered that the atmel module does not work in the 2.6 kernel. I switched to the 2.4 and it came right up. I found a patch for 2.6 which I will apply as soon as I figure out how to apply a patch ;-) This at least gets me out of my office and into my Lazy-Boy to do email and news groups even if I have to drag a USB adapter with me. I am a happy camper. On to printing, samba, but for now I have my first totally usable Mandrake machine since I started playing wth 7.2 Hurrah!!! I will go back to the DWL g650 card once I have stopped gloating and have actully gotten a full weeks worth of real work done under Mandrake.

[newbie] Wireless Lan on 10.0
I have installed 10.0 on my hp ze4325us laptop and the basic install was great. Video, sound, wired lan all working out of the box. I have not messed with samba or printing yet but I am working on getting DWLG650 card to work. I have found and ollowed several howtos and managed to update the kernel and install the modules. I have created the network script and have added alias ath0 ath_pci to modules.conf and modprobe. During startup I get the message the Ath0_pci cannot find the hardware. ineither ifconfig or iwconfig show the ath0. dmesg give me the following: ath_hal: no version for struct_module found: kernel tainted. ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel. ath_hal: No versions for exported symbols. Tainting kernel. ath_hal: 0.9.5.3 BETA (Sam Leffler [EMAIL PROTECTED]) wlan: No versions for exported symbols.

Re: [newbie] 3Com Gigabit Ethernet 3C940 supported?
I have a ASUS P4P800 Motherboard with a built-in Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Model and Chipset 3Com 3c940. Autodetection doesn't work and even selecting it manually doesn't work, because it's not in the list and all other available 3Com models won't work. Does anyone by any chance know how to let this Ethernet Adapter work under Mandrake? (I have 9.0 installed, but in the Mandrake Database 3C940 is not even mentioned for Mandrake 9.2, so upgrading wouldn't help I'm afraid. I hAD the same situation few months ago. installed the 3com drivers and all seemed well. Then had many strange problems trying to enable samba and network printing. Found the drivers sort of work but not totally. Like Tom I tossed in a dlink and the problems disappeared. Pat Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] A thank you for Kaj and an apology to Derek Jennings
Kaj, It might have been obvious to others but until you pointed out the proper URL I have been frequently frustrated trying to search for Mandrake info in the archives. Thanks. While conducting my very first search for an SMBCLIENT problem I have been trying to solve for several months I discovered my own posting from November and the fact that Derek was kind enough to answer and I never saw his response since some how I got booted off the group for about a week. I still have the problem and unfortunately Derek's suggestion which I found last night did not solve it. I will post the details in a separate note and hope that Derek and anyone else will be able to help since I have not been able to find any info on it any where. Once again thanks Kaj, Derek, and all of you who contribute. I have found that for the most part by being an avid lurker most of my question get answered over time.
