[gentoo-user] BCM4401 Ethernet Card stopped working after kernel upgrade
Hi All, I just upgraded to sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources-2.6.26 kernel. Everything was working fine before but now my bcm4401 ethernet card stopped working. I tried booting in my old kernel and card is working fine with old kernel. Could someone help to solve this problem ?

[gentoo-user] Strange problems
Hi all, 3-4 days back i did a world emerge. First i wanted to do a update only but instead a did a world emerge with --emptytree option. Everything gone quite smoothly. Then i did a module-reubuild. Then a reboot. Everything was fine till now. But after login i noticed one thing, typing anywhere(either on terminal or gedit or anywhere) is not smooth any more. I mean going through in a file up and down or escaping characters is really slow now. One more thing was that 'gsynaptics' was not working anymore. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ gsynaptics ** (gsynaptics:31184): WARNING **: Using synclient [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ It appread on screen for few moments less then 2-3 seconds and gone. No errors to trace back. That sucks me totally. Previously i have xorg-x11-7.2, now after world emerge I have xorg-x11-7.3 with x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.09 both the times. I didn't find a cure for that rough typing and synaptics. Then i look inot Xorg log, and quite interestingly found following errors. --- flukebox flukebox # cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep EE (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

So, i forget that for time being. Lately i was trying to get hibernate, suspend working on my laptop. I followed http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_TuxOnIce;. I installed sys-kernel/tuxonice and got settings accoring to howto. I emerged hibernate-script,suspend too. then i tried hibernating. Aah hiberanting didn't work. It worked partially actually. I am able to hibernate but not able to resume. While resuming system freezes after saying cleaning. Any specific logs to look into ? when hibernate didn't work .. i give a try to suspend .. and write hibernate-ram on terminal and voila it worked. So, I am currently able to suspend. Here comes very interesting and strange part of all of these headaches. After resuming from sleep, one more problem got solved. No more slow typing hurray :P. So, now i can type everywhere(terminal or gedit or whatever) as fast as before emerging world. Even going though in a file up and down, tho and fro are smooth now. But i have no clue whats happing wrong in boot that causing me typing error.And whats good happing while resumming from sleep that remove those error.

[gentoo-user] Alt-F2 without Gnome-Panel ?
Hi All, I don't want gnome-panel in gnome desktop anymore. So, I remove the panel by killall and setting it never to start again in sessions settings. Now, I don't have Alt-F2 working anymore. Is there anyway to have Alt-F2 working without gnome-panel ? thanks and regards, flukebox

The problem with ndiswrapper was that b44 was grabbing wlan0 before ndis could. I couldn't ping over the wlan so I assumed b44 didn't work, but I was just playing around with routes, and I have managed to get both eth0 and wlan0 working with b44 together (no ndis). If you understood that sentence, congratulations! I understand little bit not fully.

Re: [gentoo-user] [query] kernel-2.6.24 + ndiswrapper
Hi check this link, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Dell_Inspiron_1520#Wireless_Network It says that snip You should install the Windows driver from Dell if you would like to take advantage of the full bandwith of your WLAN card (meaning 54 MBit/s). !!FIXME!! If you would like to use the kernel driver, probably you can but only with limited (11 MBit/s) bandwith. /snip BTW, I am more interested to get things working. Quality would be my second priority.

However, here's the official page: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 according to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43/devices your card (14E4:4311) is supported. You need the firmware for the card, and the appropriate *-cutter tool to extract the firmware from the driver (it's in portage).
