Hello,
Have a look on IBM's site for LANAID.
it's a pc-dos (what else) boot disk with a config utility to access the
firmare
in the card. �t's pretty self explanatory - you can set ring-speed,
auto-sensing
io's etc.
good luck

Don't forget to use ABSOLUTE paths to the file if run from a shell

Try making a normal tar file (not compressed) and verify it.

Whoops! well this time you can see whom it's from ;-)
Hi,
I'm going to buy some new hardware for a project. At our company
(Ericsson EMN in the Netherlands) we're used to ordering at HP. But
before I go with the flow, I want to make sure that the audio and
network hardware is supported in Linux, because I really need both to
work!
The audio (of the kayak XA and the omnibook models) is just advertised
as:
"16-bit Sound Blaster Pro�compatible stereo sound"
for the omnibook
and :
"Integrated Sound Blaster Pro�compatible, 16-bit, full duplex
stereo audio solution
MPC-3 and Direct Sound V compatible"
Does anyone here know which chipset it is? (and if it's supported ;-)
The ethernet adapter is a weird one
Ethernet LAN interface:
� 32-bit autosensing HP NightDirector Plus 10/100 Ethernet card
(standard on some models or available as an HP accessory)
� LAN Remote Power On/Off and remote wake-up support
I've never heard of this one and it's not listed (under this name) in
the network drivers in the kernel....
Is this a different name for a well known chip?
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Hoi Jeroen
I recently asked the same question here, so I think I can summarize the
results so far....
The short answer is that parralel and usb camera support is pretty close
to zero right now.
I think you have the same suspicions that I have: Microsoft is making
sure nobody other than windoze users gets support from the
manufacturers. I see no reason to keep specifications and driver-details
secret for products that have been on the market for a year or even
less.
However, I did get some very helpful tips from Jarl Totland
(Business Data Consulting AS, Norway, http://www.bdc.no)
The rest of the reply is his reply to me.
Cheers
Simon

There really aren't too many choices right now.
Basically, if you want USB, there is only one possibility right now; the
Creative WebCam II (or equivalent). Be warned though that the driver is
only
under development, along with the whole USB subsystem.
For parallel ports the default choice would be older versions of
QuickCam,
either B-W or color. The PPC2 camera effort is probably not stable or
userfriendly enough for your use.
You should probably check out PCMCIA based cameras, like the
Winnow VideumCam Traveler, it has working Linux drivers:
http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~bnoble/group/wnv-pcmcia/
>The desktop PC's are probably best off with a WinTV board and an analogue
Probably: the main supported capture card on Linux are the bt848-based
cards. Also a company is making an open capture card LML33 which
might be of interest.
For more info, see the pages for Video4Linux and Video4Linux Two
linked from my page, especially V4L2's People&Projects:

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
By design the PS/2 port will share interrupts, and must use interrupt line
12.
As for connecting a device....PS/2 is NOT hot swappable. This means under
no circumstances should you attach your mouse to the running system.
Instead make sure that your devices are attached before system power-up,
and when the machine boots the PS/2 drivers will take care of initializing
(for the most part, GPM and X have their own initializations too) the
mouse and keyboard.
Next: While XFree86 does need to know the device the mouse is on (normally
we specify /dev/mouse and symlink this to /dev/psaux or which ever device
currently has a mouse on it) it also must know the protocol that the mouse
speaks.
In the case of a generic PS/2 mouse it should be able to use the generic
"PS/2" protocol (this is a standard and should work with any PS/2 mouse,
although some additional features will not be available) alternatively you
can specify one of the many PS/2 protocol versions (e.g. IMPS/2,
MouseManPlusPS/2 depending on whether you are using a Microsoft, or
Logitech mouse) see the man pages for XF86Config for details.

Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Want to get a new system. Haven't run Linux in 4 years, and then it was on
my 386/40. Times have changed. I now want to run Linux + VMWare with Win
'98 (for basic office apps and some graphics/audio-related software.)
Want to buy a new/up-to-date motherboard with "older"/cheaper CPU (read:
Celeron 400 or 433).
A supplier said "VMWare with Win '98 may suck up your whole CPU even when
idle due to busy/wait cycles." (And, from reading reviews of Win '98 under
VMware, it does sound like it is slower.) He suggested getting a dual-CPU
system so that one CPU would be recognized/used by VMware and the other one
could still perform Linux processing.
Question: Is this correct?
Assuming it is correct, to give myself an upgrade path, I'd like to get a
dual-CPU Slot1 motherboard so that I can later move to Pentium III CPUs.
(This assumes I make a decision soon enough to find Slot1-based Celerons. I
understand they've been discontinued and only the PPGA ones are left.)
Question: Are the dual Slot 1 CPU motherboards designed to support Celerons?
I can't determine if it will, as I've heard that the Socket 370-based
systems do something "special" in order to allow Celerons to multiprocess.
I don't really want to buy a dual 370 motherboard because I'll have to toss
it out when I want to move to the PIII in a year or two.
Question: What's a good / basic AGP-based video card to use with Linux that
should also be supported under Win '98? (read: cheap)
Many thanks,

Subject: Re: Newbie: null-modem or ethernet?
Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 15:26:59 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
One options that you may have not explored, is a 10Base2 network. This
topology requires no hubs, is extremely cheap, and often is easier to
setup than a star topology.
The draw backs surrounding 10Base2 is that it is limited in bandwidth to
10megabits, and most modern 10/100 NICs have eliminated their coax
connector (as well as most hubs) which makes it difficult to link either
new machines or other subnets.
With that said a standard 10-2 network would consist of:
*) N network cards (normally NE2000 or compatible)
*) N bnc "T" connectors (usually supplied with NIC)
*) N-1 pieces of 50 Ohm coaxial cable (no less than 1.5 feet per link)
*) 2 50 Ohm bnc terminators.
The terminators will run you about $0.50 each, and coax will run you a
couple bucks if you buy pre-assembled (less if you crimp your own.) The
NICs themselves will run between $5-10 depending on where you are getting
them.
Point is that, for temporary LANs (designed say for transferring files from
an older machine to its new replacement) it's hard to do better.
Another options which has not been discussed is the "Null Modem Ethernet."
In this configuration two machines with standard 4-pair UTP are connected
directly via a cross over cable, and can be run at either 10/20/100/200
megabits depending on your cards (i.e. full duplex options will be
available) It's main advantage is it's speed and cost. Since there are
no hubs or switches used the total cost is NICs + wire, which if you crimp
your own (and it is hard to find pre-made cross overs) will run you maybe
a dollar (RJ45 connectors are about $0.25 if you buy in small quantities)
The disadvantage is that to add another station you must create a chain of
networks and setup appropriate routing.
Commonly this approach is only used in situation in which network
performance is critical (massive parallel machines {Beowulf} will use
this approach to minimize distance between processors and ensure that each
node receives it's full bandwidth on the ether) although several companies
are now selling "Network In A Box" solutions which are nothing more than
two NICs and a cross over (sneaky of them isn't it)
There are a number of other methods for hooking machines together, but in
general the above mentioned two are probably the only ones which pertain
to your situation.

Subject: Linux on AMD K6-2/400?
Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 10:40:56 -0500
Out of desperation for more speed for M$ NT 4.0, I went to my local
bargain geek-shop and bought a Gigabyte motherboard along with AMD K6-
2/400 chip. This is the first time I've bought a non-Intel MB, but
everyone told me I'd have no probs.
But, I must get BSOD's in NT at least once a day. And it's stuff that
specifically mentions the processor.. One of its favorites is complaining
something about AMD EXCEPTION IRQ1 is LESS_OR_EQUAL .. Not quite sure
exactly what it means, but it happens all the time. Other bizarre
behavior as well.. StarCraft doesn't want to run smoothly, for some
reason.. Can't figure out if its the vid card to blame on this one, tho
(Voodoo3/2000)..
Anyway, these BSOD's are going to really get on my nerves. I canst stands
no flakey system!
And now, for the Linux part of this post-- Has anyone had a similar
experience with AMD chips -- that Windoze would bomb or act bad
specifically for reasons tied to the AMD chip -- and replace Windoze with
Linux and experienced 100% hardware-reliable performance?
I bought this AMD chip because so many people swore that it was a good
bet. The Gigabyte MB, I was also told, was a great MB.. Trying to make
my anti-monopoly statement and save a few bucks at the same time. I
guess I got what I paid for!

box. The sound/SCSI card is a Sound Blaster CT-1770 SB16-SCSI-2 --
this is NOT a plug-and-pray card!
PLEASE HELP! I would appreciate ANY info.
Thanks!

Subject: ATI VGA Wonder-16 ISA

Hello-
If someone ever got this piece of crap working with X, please tell me
how. It's the only ISA video card I have for setting up a 486 spare
machine. I've tried every server and every setting I could think of in
XF86Config, and it's still a no-go. Even the mono server won't do. The
card has a ATI 18800 chip (described on ati's web site as one of their
earliest ones) and 256 or 512k video RAM - I can't tell. I'd be more
than happy to have it running in 16 colors, or even monochrome, if
there's no other way, but the last thing I need is have to go out and
buy another ISA video card. I know the card is good, I've seen it work
in W3.1 just before installing Linux, and in text mode it's okay.
Thank you in advance,
Mircea

Subject: q: Sound on Compaq XL ?
Date: 22 Aug 1999 14:03:20 GMT
I got an old Compaq XL 450. Interesstingly there is even an (old ) HOWTO for
it. So i got everything working (onboard)-scsi and ethernet but not the sound.
The chips is an AD1847 and is supported thru the AD1848-driver. but everytime
i try to load the modul i get a "device or resource busy". unfortunaly the
driver doesnt autoprobe and my config seems to be faulty.
Did anyone get this thing working ?
i tried (with variations) this:
insmod ad1848 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 deskpro_xl=1
note: there is also a opl3 at 0x388
