David Hinds helped me work out the details for getting the DWL-650
working on my laptop. Here are the details:
1. Add some information to /etc/pcmcia/conf:
card "D-Link DWL-650"
manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
bind "wvlan_cs"
2. Run 'netconf' and add an adaptor that is otherwise blank, but
has "wvlan0" filled in as the interface name.
Once I did this, things worked wonderfully and automatically upon
boot up and upon card insertion.
Thanks, David!

I use the DC-390U (50-pin Fast SCSI II) in three systems. It has a BIOS
Extension ROM which allows it to be used as a boot drive, or to access
the drive from DOS with no additional drivers (Firmware in the BIOS
Extension ROM has the code). I currently have one of them in a K6-2/350
machine with a new drive and get over 20 MB/S transfer rate. The ROM
also has diagnostics which may help with diagnosis if you can tolerate a
DOS boot.

There is no way it can work; that device is 'active' and needs
proprietary code to be uploaded into it. The device itself is also very
different from other ISDN cards/adapters etc; it has no 'modem emulation
mode' like most of them for example.

Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2000 13:52:23 -0500
Hello everyone. I am the proud owner of a new redhat 6.2 linux system that
has a rockwell sound/modem (yes I know it is not supported). I have some
programming experience but have never written any thing like a driver. What
would be a good place to start to get familiar with writing drivers? Also
is there such a thing as a "generic" driver? Since drivers are in assembly
language, can you suggest a good (a.k.a. free) assembly compiler? If some
of these questions are stupid it is because they are and I'm totally out of
my league with this linux stuff.
Thanks for your help

I didn't see it on the list from the previous
post, but the Agfa CL-30 also supports serial
downloads as well as USB. Unfortunately, my
brand new CL-30 never worked w/serial only USB.
Just received a replacement camera on Friday. It
worked for 12 downloads then went belly up! Back
to Agfa support today. What model do you have?

Has anyone successfully set up a fax server, like efax, that works through
SAMBA? I am interested in running efax on my Linux firewall / router box
and allowing windows clients to access the modem to send and receive faxes.
Anyone had any success?

SuSE has support for a Color DeskJet 670 which will probably work fine
as a color printer Driver. I'm not sure what you mean by "good support."
Are you running Samba? Is the DeskJet connected to the Linux Box or
the Windoze Box? I have a mixed environment of Windoze/98 and Linux with
printers on all boxes using DeskJet's and LaserJets without problem.
Let me know.

Hi everybody
I've a NE200 compartible ISA Network card. I used it in an old 486 linux
machine. Now I put it into a P200 MMX PC with linux. Although it is detected
by isapnp I get an error like this while booting:
ne.c: No card found at io=0x300
pnpdump told me, that possible io ranges are 0x200-0x3e0. I also tried some
other ranges with no effect. I'm using SuSE Linux 7 (My old 486 used the
version 6.2 or 6.4, im not sure)
Can anybody help me?

Two things,
#1) Disable APM in your system BIOS.
#2) Disable apmd in your rc init scripts. "chkconfig apmd off"
Only if that fails will you have to build a kernel without APM support.

Hi Bill,
probably you have to start from next book
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1565922921
it is outdated but there is no alternative. New kernel is very diffrent but
still you
will able understand the source code of the kernel after reading. No, you can
just
go into /usr/src/linux directory and see by yourself that almost all drivers is
wroted
in C with some Assembler inclusion. You do not need to install Assembler as it
goes
with Redhat. For more details about Assemler try type "man as" and if you
installed
development tools you will get GNU Assembler man page.
