No, not necessarily. RTL8187 is a chip used in many devices. The easiest way to test if Fedora Linux supports the adapter is to install Fedora Linux on a PC, then insert the adapter. That URL is many years old. Devices have changed since. 2. if Fedora does support the adapter, determine the kernel configuration change between the Fedora kernel and the OLPC OS kernel that removed support, 3. build a new OLPC OS kernel, with this configuration change reversed, http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Kernel_Building I will try it later. 4. upgrade to that kernel on the laptop and test all functions. A short cut answer might be possible if you obtain the USB vendor id and product id from the adapter. Then I can search the kernel sources. USB adapter is USB\VID_0BDAPID_8176. 0x0bda, 0x8176 is present [1] in the rtl8192cu driver, but this driver is not enabled [2] in the OLPC OS kernel. So rebuild kernel with CONFIG_RTL8192CU set and normal function may occur. 1. http://dev.laptop.org/git/olpc-kernel/tree/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/sw.c?h=arm-3.5#n273 2. http://dev.laptop.org/git/olpc-kernel/tree/arch/arm/configs/xo_4_defconfig?h=arm-3.5#n1191 I thought that a compatible hardware list on WIKI is welcome. Yes, that would be nice. But the problem is that the list is made out of date within a few weeks when new devices are sold. The same model of USB device may use a different chip and driver next month. Difficult task to track. I'm glad you can volunteer. ;-) -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

Perhaps you did not lock down the olpc user, try logging in with user olpc, and if you get a prompt, type su to become root, then change the password for root using the command passwd. You might instead boot Tiny Core Linux from a USB drive and use the shell to change the password instead. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tiny_Core_Linux To reinstall, how far back do i have to start from in the steps listed here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.3/Installing If you truly can't get into the system, start way back from 13.1.0 installation. 0.4 might be a better idea at this stage. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

Re: [Server-devel] XSCE automatic login permission denied
XSCE is based on OLPC OS, and OLPC OS intentionally does not support all USB WIFI adapters. We removed from the kernel support for adapters that we did not expect to be used, in order to reduce the size of the kernel and OS installation. So your question can be rephrased as How do I add support for USB WIFI adapters to OLPC OS? An answer is: 1. determine if Fedora Linux supports the adapter, and if not work with the Fedora community to get support added, 2. if Fedora does support the adapter, determine the kernel configuration change between the Fedora kernel and the OLPC OS kernel that removed support, 3. build a new OLPC OS kernel, with this configuration change reversed, http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Kernel_Building 4. upgrade to that kernel on the laptop and test all functions. A short cut answer might be possible if you obtain the USB vendor id and product id from the adapter. Then I can search the kernel sources.
