Hi
I'm having trouble trying to get my Intel PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN PC Card
communicating with my Apple Airport. I've got it working fine under
windows, and under linux I can connect to the Airport using a standard
network card with a cable.
I'm running Mandrake 7.2 on a Dell Inspiron 5000. I've upgraded the
kernel to 2.2.18 and installed the latest pcmcia package with the
patches for the spectrum cards.
The cardmgr recognises the wireless card, but I can't get it to bring up
an eth# connection.
Any suggestion on the configuration I need?
Also, the spectrum24t_cs module doesn't seem to want to unload, so I'm
unable to stop or restart the pcmcia module. As a result, any time I
try to make a change, my only option seems to be to reboot! Any
suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Alain

My BIOS setup only has one "IDE Controller" entry, that can be on or
off. No trace of a primary/secondary separation.

This sounds very promising... can you give me some pointers to
information? Thanks!

If you're using the Enlightened Sound Daemon (esound), it will grab
more-or-less exclusive access to whatever device file your sound card
uses. This is likely the case for any other sound daemons as well.
There may be a way around this; my way was to do "apt-get remove
esound".

Anyone know of any problems using this card? The person I'm getting
the card from says he has Linux drivers, but he's never used them and
I'm wondering how they work. I'm especially wondering if they're
binary-only.
I haven't checked the Cisco WWW site yet, but I'm looking for
experience and anecdotes anyway.
I'm using Debian (unstable) and Linux 2.4.1.

The 3CSOHO100-TX is basically a 3C905B with no wake-on-LAN and no boot ROM
socket. It also has a different PCI ID (7646 instead of 905[58A]), but the
3c59x driver should support it with no hacks in a reasonably modern kernel
(I use a 3C905C with kernel 2.4.0 and the 3c59x driver).

I checked a second time: you were absolutely right.
It was OFF, and I could set it to Unkown Device.
I just assumed that I could not change what was written in that

Subject: general protection faults and random reboots
Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2001 13:33:45 -0500
Recently, I have started having general protection faults and random
reboots while I play real video movies. I am running RH 6.2 with
kernel 2.2.17-14 and all updates applied. When I run realplay, I
often get messages like the following when I typed dmesg:

There are also times in which my computer just spontaneously reboots.
This seems to indicate some hardware problems. I have downloaded
memtest86 and ran it for a day without finding any problems with the
memory.
Another note: I upgraded from 2.2.16 last week, I don't know if this
may be the problem...
Any help to track down this problem (hardware or software) would be deeply
appreciated.

Hello,
sounds loke a hw problem, try compiling a kernel, if it stops with the message:
gcc caught fatal Signal 11
You can be more or less sure it's RAM related.
Good luck

Subject: System clock has lost time after CD burn
Date: 05 Mar 2001 20:05:33 +0000
The machine has two 600 MHz Pentium III CPUs, IBM DPTA-372050 and
IBM-DTLA-307030 IDE disks (7200 rpm) and 512 Mb memory.
The kernel is 2.2.18 (compiled from tar.bz2) with a RedHat 6.2 system.
When burning CDs with the Plextor PlexWriter 8/4/32A (see how
cunningly I have slipped the hardware information into the
conversation?) the system clock loses time.
I wrote three CDs today and it lost 136 seconds.
The writing is done using cdrtools 1.10a14 which requires that the
Plextor ATAPI drive is run as SCSI using the kernel's SCSI emulation.
Has anybody else seen this?

Did you download, compile and install the latest-and-greatest i2c and
lm_sensors packages? You may have an older version that doesn't yet have
the via686a module.

Two possibilities - either there is no suitable mode defined (something which
is highly unlikely with 4.0.x as there are a large collection of default modes)
or you have the wrong monitor refresh rates in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
file. XFree86 picks the best mode it can use with the monitor.
Make a backup copy of the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. Dig out your favourite
editor as root and look through for something which starts Section
"Monitor". It should look something like this (based on the numbers you gave
above).
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "COMPAQ"
ModelName "AP2000"
# These two values should be appropriate to your monitor
# Horizontal Sync in units of kHz
HorizSync 30.0-100.0
# Vertical refresh rate in units of Hz
VertRefresh 50.0-170.0
EndSection
The important lines are the HorizSync and VertRefresh ones - the rest is just
window dressing (except the Identifier which is used in the Section
"ServerLayout" part).

Should be a similar fix if this is the same problem.
