I get the same warning (again, ipw2200), and it works fine. I noticed that the version in the kernel is the 'stable' .0 version, while the one you are using with 2.6.12.6 is a .2 'unstable' version. It might be interesting to try merging the 1.1.0 version of the package with 2.6.12.6, and see if you have the same issue. That would tell you if it is a driver version or kernel change that is causing the problem. Thanks for the suggestion, but I might never see a working 2.6.12.6 again if I do that :-( I have already run emerge -C ipw2100 to remove that Gentoo package, which is no longer needed with kernel 2.6.14. How does wireless still work under 2.6.12.6 without that package? Sounds like removing the package didn't remove the compiled kernel modules from /lib/modules/2.6.12.6. Both unusual and lucky! Yes, the 2.6.12.6 module is still there. I probably built it under 2.6.12.6 and then 'removed' it while running 2.6.14. What *should* happen in those circumstances? Also, my kernels have no support for module unloading, which is probably a mistake when I need to play around with ipw2100 etc. This at last explains why I had to keep rebooting to see the effect of changes. Is the warning about versions 19 and 17 significant? It seems to come from iwconfig, which is part of wireless-tools. I have version 27-r1 of that package, which is the latest available. 28_pre10 is available for ~x86. Try: echo net-wireless/wireless-tools ~x86 /etc/portage/package.keywords emerge -Dv wireless-tools Also, there are now versions of the ieee80211 and ipw2100 packages that will merge with 2.6.14. They are also masked ~x86, so you will need to do the same updates to package.keywords: echo net-wireless/ieee80211 ~x86 /etc/portage/package.keywords echo net-wireless/ipw2100 ~x86 /etc/portage/package.keywords These steps did not seem to help. This should give you the latest 1.1.3 version of the driver. If it still won't work with 2.6.14, I suggest subscribing and posting to the devel list at: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ipw2100-devel Thanks for the help, but this is where I give up and go back to 2.6.12.6. I build my own kernels so I know what is in them and to get the minimum feature set. I want the latest kernel to get security and other fixes, and not because I need any new functionality. At least I got closer with 2.6.14. Kernel 2.6.13.x never created an eth0 device. And I will read the ipw2100 dev list from now on. Other people have similar problems, but I can't see a solution yet.

[gentoo-user] [Fwd: Frozen Video]
I have a box running kernel version 2.6.13-r5, and MythTV 0.18.2 built from portage. I'm using a video card with the nvidia nv18 chipset (6600?). I also have a custom xorg modeline for my widescreen HDTV. My video card is connected via a VGA to component converter. The screen looks good and regular desktop mode works fine. The mouse moves. MythTV menus are displayed and the cursor moves around when I hit the arrow keys. The problem is when I switch to a video mode. The video freezes at the first frame. The audio continues and plays just fine. The freezing problem occurs whether I'm viewing LiveTV, previously recorded shows, and even video files via MythVideo (uses mplayer). All of this used to work until I upgraded hardware and rebuilt my system. I have no idea what the cause might be or where to start looking. Any ideas?

If so that might mean too much wireless traffic the way we are set up. yes thats the point of squid it is a proxy. OK, but that's like using the word in the definition to a guy who's never used a proxy. ;-) I'm still unclear though, and I'm sure I'll find this out either through reading or use. do all packets for the machine using the proxy go through the proxy? Or is it more like a DNS server where just the URL's go through the proxy to figure out what to do? Right now the machine under observation is on one wireless leg. The one machine that's on all the time is on anothe wireless leg. Neither is directly tied to the cable modem. If the traffic pattern looks like M_OBSERVE - router - M_SQUID - router - Internet - router - M_SQUID - router - M_OBSERVE The I created a lot of extra wireless traffic, especially since the machine being observed seems to like to watch a lot of gaming videos. If it's just addresses, then no big deal. If it's the whole data stream then it's not going to work well. On the other hand I have a MythTV frontend that is not always turned on but could be, I suppose, which is on the router, as are a few of my audio machines.

[gentoo-user] user interface font in OOo? Can we change it?
Long time ago I was using AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni and AR PL ZenKai Uni for Chinese characters and defined in fontconfig. Most other people and gentoo default does the samiliar, take a look at your default fontconfig, there are some Chinese fonts in the list of 'Serif' font face. This setting has effect in every gnome (or, gtk) application except OOo. OOo wasn't using the right font for Chinese, I don't know what font is OOo trying to use for Chinese text on the UI, could be Kochi Mincho or something, but the result is many Chinese characters are either missing or in wrong position or ugly. This only happens on the UI elements like buttons, text inputs, text boxes... not on the document itself. So: 1) Is there a way to change the user interface font used by OOo? Thus I can specify OOo to use the 'right font'. 2) Is there a way to know what font OOo is trying to use on interface when displaying Chinese? Thus I can set fontconfig replacement for that font. any good idea? I believe most Chinese users of OOo (could be even some Korean users) also have this problem. I was expecting this problem being solved in OOo 2.0 because it promised a native widget and in the past I though this was a bug for OOo running in non-KDE environment. Now OOo 2.0 is just like it's ealier versions. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
