SiS613u trendnet WLAN adapter on linux
I'm trying to get Trendnet's TEW 424UB WLAN USB adaptor [1] to work with linux. I couldn't find a native support with google, NDISwrapper claims to support this exact trendnet model. Installation worked fine for me (clean knoppix4.02) however it couldn't find the hotspot nearby. In both winXP and win98 it worked perfectly. Does anyone have experience with this adaptor?

help my bash is gone
Hi all, I have this strange behaviour that when I open a new term session or even in an existing term sesstion I will execute a common command such as ls or cd and the shell returns command not found. usually I can close that session and open another and things work again, sometimes I must log out and back in and sometimes (rarely ) that doesn't help. I am using demudi which is debian and this once happened while I was having other problems and I was forced to reinstall since I couldn't use the command line Any thoughts on what might be causing this very strange behaviour would be most appreciated.

Re: kernel building question
Hi all I am starting again and noticed that in building my kernel the processor type was pentium pro. I have a PIII, should this be Pentium MMX? Thanks Aaron On Sun, 2005-10-30 at 01:45 +0200, Aaron wrote: Ok some background. I am running demudi which has custom lowlatency kernels. This is for proaudio, which I sometimes play with.. But with the latest kernels from demudi the smp kernels won't boot on my system. Why do you think your kernel won't boot? If it contains all the options then it would usually pick the right driver. Youre right if I keep everything it should boot. In fact is there link to some place that lists what extra uneeded stuff is put in the vanilla kernel, which I can safely exclude? It depends mostly on your hardware but also on what you want to do with your system. Do homework. I am not trying to get to involved just a multimedia smp kernel that boots for me.

There are pretty clear instrcutions under /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz, read the entire document and decide which route you want to take BEFORE you begin the process. I recommand also studying make-kpkg(1) so you get a better understanding of the instructions in the README file. Remember that as long as you don't dpkg -i your-kernel-package.deb no irreversible harm should happen (and even when you DO install your-kernel-package.deb, there are 99% chances that you won't loose the current working kernel). I use a script to wrap make-kpkg with my favourite command line parameters. what I did was copy the config from my running kernel and the remove a few obvious things and then Note that if you just want to use an existing config then use make oldconfig in stage 2%. Always start the kernel-building process with make clean. fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version -vanilla --revision 0.1 kernel_image btw the kernel_image should that be there? is that supposed to be substitued for something else? kernel_image should usually be there.

I didn't catch this the first time, but did a man reset and now I see what you mean :) thanks aaron not sure I get your point, I do know that expeinced users don't do what I do, but search for the cause of the problem and a solution. I usually panic and try the above options... My point is that if you get to it - it's worth trying to dig and find answers to these problems so next time they come around you are ready to smuck them in the face once and for all, otherwise you'll never become an experienced linux user (or you might become experienced linux installer :). the latter is still more the case although less and less. scsi7 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device my cdr started doing this after ram upgrade Looks like some device-sensing daemon probing the cd for a media, not too worrying (and you could have clipped the identical lines in the message). ---clip--- Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi9, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi9, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0 usb-storage: device scan complete EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended Have you crashed your system lately? it happens on occasion ie my ups broke and computers at home.

Virtual Console switching:
Hi, On my fedora core 3 , running alt/ctrl/f2 changes to virtual console number 2.(According to /etc/inittab, there are 6 virtual consoles). My question is : how is it done ? what is the chain of actions (or maybe single action) which alt/ctrl/f2 initiates ? On the FC3 keyboard shortcuts dialog window, the combination alt/ctrl/fn (n 6) does not appear at all. (It of course has to do to mingetty , which is what appears in the /etc/inittab: 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2. But again, my question is : what exactly is the action which it triggers in order to switch to the virtual console?) Regards, RG
