kernel compile issues

I have a problem that is frustrating the dwang out of me and I think that I have narrowed it down a bit to a compile issue. I have two kernels running on my machine; the vanilla one 2.4.20-8 that came with the install of RH9 and a custom one that I added pcmcia/cardbus support for wifi. The vanil

USB Mouse problems

Don't want to bug the list, but there has to be someone out there who can help with my mouse issue I posted a while ago? I have a dell 5150 P4 running RH9.0. I installed RH9.0 with just my built in mousepad present. I have recompiled the kernel to load in a wifi card. Since then, my mousepad works

Samba Issues

Dear List, I have a RH9 server running samba. I wish to use it for printing requests from win 2000 clients and also as a simple directory share. I have set a printer up and can connect and print to it from a RH9 client so I know that cups is running fine. I have configured my smb.conf file and c

iptables issues

Dear List, I have postfix running on RH9 with SMTPS. It works fine. I layered iptables onthe box with rules allowing SMTP AUTH (port 113). When I disable iptables, smtps works perfectly. When I enable iptables, port 113 is closed (?). My question is: Does smtps listen on a different port to 113

Re: re:SMC wireless card in Redhat 9

is it a pcmcia card? (fits into a slot on the side of the laptop?) There is a good chance if the card is a recent one, that it is an atmel chipset. You should enable pcmcia and loadable modules in your kernel and recompile (how to at http://www.tldp.org). Greg Bell made a posting on this site 9th
