Hi, After successfully getting some of our wyse winterm 8360se to work with ltsp, by the means of flashing the linux kernel and initrd from /tftboot to the flash memory. I have come up against some weird problems with some of them reporting an incorrect mac address. It appears as if all

2006-09-18 Thread Joe Auerbach
We've heard a few times here that ltsp doesn't work over a wireless connection. My question is: how true is that and how true will it remain? Is it impossible, or just very tricky? Is it something that is not going to happen, or is it being worked on for a upcoming release? I was hoping to

The I-Opener is a cool little device, but it's not exactly fast. The USB on it is USB_1.0, so the networking is only something like 6mbit/sec. And, the CPU is 300Mhz (I think). And, I think it's only got 32mb of ram. So the fact that you have it working at all is really a miracle. I'm just

Alistair, I've seen MAC addresses come up as all zeros before. It's always turned out that the kernel driver didn't properly initialize the nic. Sure you can force the MAC address with ifconfig, but a null mac address is usually an indication of bigger problems between the driver and the

Wireless LTSP is tricky, because you can't do PXE or Etherboot. You need to have a kernel stored locally that you can boot from. We had wireless LTSP back in LTSP-3.0. Back then, we were using a floppy to hold the kernel, and we hit a point where the kernel+initrd was too big to fit on a

This is a machine I'm building myself, so I should be able to make that work. Really, ltsp isn't required for it, but it's better than maintaining extra hardware (esspecially in the damp dirty kitchen. I'd like as few moving parts as possible). And hte idea of standing at the kitchen

If the laptop has a working hard drive, you can install Knoppix on it, configured to boot to runlevel 2 (command line, no X), and then put X -query address.of.ltsp.server in a startup script, which will give you a login to the server that looks just like a thin client. It's not a real thin

Jim, The strange thing is it's not just zeros, it contains an underscore (see previous post) that was really puzzling me. I presume that it must be a driver/kernel thing as the bios does report the correct mac. Suggesting its not a hardware fault. Am I right to think this? I have a little

Michael- Try to modprobe snd-cs4232 to see if that one works, since I think it is specifically for cards on the ISA bus. Also, if that fails, I believe the snd-cs4236 driver also supports your chipset. -Todd Michael George wrote: On Sun, Sep 17, 2006 at 07:34:56PM -0500, Todd Shoemaker
