|> The key here is "no dial tone"

[Snip...]

Well, the OP apparently had it previously under another Linux install as
well as 'Doze, as I understand. Unless he fooled with the hardware (like
also replacing the modem, kicking the phonecord, etc.) only the software
has changed. In particular, apparently there's a reinstall of Linux.

I posted earlier about the possibility that this reinstall clobbered the
logical modem link (/dev/modem) some packages insist on having to access
the modem. Or the new install may have a Port/IRQ conflict if this modem
is jumpered (oddly), or there's a PNP probe bug and/or BIOS conflict.

Even without some telecom package like minicom or seyon I have been able
to get something out of most Hayes-like modems ("AT" command set) simply
by echoing modem "sound on" and a dial command to the four serial ports:

                      echo ATM1 > /dev/ttyS0
                      echo ATDT > /dev/ttyS0

                      echo ATM1 > /dev/ttyS1
                      echo ATDT > /dev/ttyS1

etc. until something "happens" on the modem end.

(I think ATM is the modem sound volume command, IIRC...)

Actually, the 1640SU Photo does do a very respectable job if 1600dpi is
sufficient. For otherwise a (good) dedicated film scanner is indeed
needed. The 1640SU with the transparency adapter is far better than the
usual flatbed transparency solutions which are nearly all pretty poor.
Sample scans from a 1640SU can be found by reading posts on
comp.periphs.scanner. As I said in my earlier post, linux support is
better than doze except for OCR. At least I haven't found any ocr
software for Linux.Not relevant for slides, I think, but the original
post implies ordinary scanning required as well?

Perhaps there is a problem because I've just same kind of

for example io=0x300 irq=9) but data is not transferred. 
Dmesg shows this kind of error:

2.2.17 worked fine with this NIC.

If it is a real modem, no drivers are needed. This modem is listed
as working at

http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html

Best way to tell if it is working is to use minicomm, you should
get an OK prompt back if it is. An internal modem using Com3 will
have a conflict with the onboard serial port using com3, so
disable that in the BIOS, also best to turn off plug-n-pray.

Subject: Kernel recompilation.. wher is bzImage ???
Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2001 15:56:04 +0000

Hi,

*newbie alert*

I d/loaded and untarred the 2.4.1 kernel to my hdd and ran make config,
make dep, make clean, make bzImage, make modules and make
modules_install.  First time I've ever done this so was quite pleased to
see it work.

Backed up my existing /boot/vmlinuz and copied the new bzImage to that
location.  Rebooted - all fine, using the 2.4 kernel.

I then realised I had misconfigured something I needed and followed
exactly the same procedure as before, changing my config along the way. 
Now, bzImage never gets created - it runs through the procedure, but the
file never appears in arch/i386/boot (or anywhere for that matter). 
What have I suddenly done wrong?  Will there be a log of errors
somewhere (couldn't find it)?

On a separate note, I tried removing the whole /usr/src/linux directory
so I could start again from the tarball but all I get is 'Cannot unlink
linux: Is a directory' (I am using rm -df ...) has something major gone
wrong?

Regards,
DD

It's not cua0, and the I/O address is going to be 4 digits, not 8.  See 
http://www.pla.net.py/home/oliver/3com.html.  It's not the same modem, 
but this will probably/mostly apply to your situation also.

Hope this helps.

This used to be true, and in some cases it still is, but this
requirement is evaporating. There are two factors that determine whether
it's true:

1) Whether the BIOS provide the extended INT13 calls. Normal INT13
   calls can only handle out to 1024 cylinders, but their extended
   counterparts can handle more than that. AFAIK, all BIOSes made in
   the past couple of years or so provide extended INT13 calls.
2) Whether the boot loader supports extended INT13 calls. I don't
   recall the exact version number, but a few months ago LILO added
   support for extended INT13 calls. The LILO that ships with most
   modern distributions supports these. GRUB also gets around the
   1024-cylinder limit, although I think I heard it did so by including
   its own mini-IDE driver, thus bypassing the BIOS. I could easily be
   mis-remembering this detail, though.

Overall, as a general rule it's probably best to keep the kernel under
the 1024th cylinder, because that advice won't HURT, except by making an
installation slightly more complex in some cases. It's increasingly
unnecessary, however, as BIOSes with extended INT13 support and recent
versions of LILO both become more common.

> You must use Win2k loader to load both (see howto).

This is one way to do it, but not the only way. LILO can boot Win2K
(which will actually use its own boot loader as a secondary boot
loader), or you can use a third-party product like System Commander,
BootMagic, etc.

Subject: Tx attempt prior to association problems with DWL-500
From: "Jason T. Linhart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2001 18:08:12 GMT

When I attempt to access the wireless network from Linux I get:
kernel: p80211knetdev_hard_start_xmit: Tx attempt prior to association,
frame dropped.
over and over and no data ever goes across. The light on the card
blinks fairly rapidly, which is what it does under Windows when I
misspell the SSID.

It works just fine under Windows using either of my access points.

I have a D-Link DWL-500 wireless PCI adapter, really a DWL-650 cardbus
card in a Ricoh RL5C475 cardbus-PCI adapter attempting to talk to
either an Apple Airport Basestation or SMC7004WBR wireless barricade
router in an Intel CA810E motherboard based system. I have RedHat 6.2,
updated to kernel 2.2.16-3. I installed pcmcia-cs-3.1.24 and then
linux-wlan-ng-0.1.7.

I checked most of the errors I saw in the mailing list archive, the
SSID is correct, or at least looks correct. The card works under
Windows. The cardbus adapter is getting an IRQ assigned to the card.
The IP address settings look reasonable.

Part of the problem is that there doesn't seem to be any way to debug
what is happening. I can't find any way to get it to tell me if it
scanned for an access point on each channel or what happened when it
did. The Windows control panel shows signal strength, data rate, what
channel is currently being scanned, and the ID of the access point when
found. There doesn't seem to be anything equivalent for wlan-ng.

Any idea what I could try next?

Jason


Details
=======
I changed

device "prism2_cs"
   class "wlan-ng" module "prism2_cs"

to:

device "prism2_cs"
   class "wlan-ng" module "prism2sta_cs"

in wlan-ng.conf because I was getting module load errors with
"prism2_cs" being a symbolic link in the modules directory.

The only change I made in wlan-ng.opts was to set

dot11DesiredSSID="cable"

"cable" is the name of my SSID, at least that is what the access point
says and what I enter into the Windows panel to get Windows to work.
The access point is on channel 6, but I didn't see anywhere to set
that.


This is what shows up in the log when I startup pcmcia services:

This is the contents of /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia:

PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS="irq_mode=1"
CORE_OPTS=

I also tried that without the "irq_mode=1", no difference.


I setup a static IP address, "ifconfig wlan0" shows:
