Hello Linux-Freaks
Did anyone have a Mini-PCI Wavelan-Card from Lucent/Orinoco running with
Linux.
I have that card on a Geode GX1 Companion Board, but only see a TI 1410
Cardbus Controller with lspci or /proc/pci. Tried everything in PCMCIA-Howto
and can't find nothing on Orinoco Homepage.
Any hints are welcome
Best regards

I had trouble with the Ensonique AudioPCI -- the OSS driver introduces
noise into recorded files (playing files is OK).
The ALSA drivers worked for me: http://www.alsa-project.org
This is the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture, and it amounts to replacing
the entire sound-processing code in the Linux kernel and applications. It
includes modules making it compatible with OSS applications.

I have an 800 MHz Athlon with PC133 memory, and a UDMA-100 7200 RPM

Linux distributions default to no DMA, which really hurts performance (but

I am running Redhat 7.x and need a system with a number of hardware
features I don't want to spend days configuring; hence, I'm looking for
a preconfigured system. There are a number of vendors who sell
preconfigured Linux systems at:
http://www.linuxlinks.com/Companies/Hardware_Retailers/. Dell also sells
pre-configured Linux systems, as well.
Which (on or off this list) do you recommend?

Fraid that linearity is a poor assumption. You can have 1 megabyte of
data stored, and depending on how it's broken up it can take one
directory entry or a million.

Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2001 00:07:10 +0100
Ok here goes i installed turbolinux 6 on my machine after much trouble.Im
very new to linux and i though it would be a dodle how wrong i was.
It ran well, but at the time of installation i didnt have udma66 cable for
my harddisk so it was attached to a ata 33 port which is IDE1 on my mobo.
So i bought a udma cable and attached my harddisk to the ata 66 port at
which point it all goes bad.
I rebotted and tryed to boot linux it booted for a while and then reported
it was unable to mount the FS which i assume is the file system.
Well after all the other probs i decided to take the heavy handed approach
and wipe the partion and reboot. Oh i forgot to mention its a dual boot
system with win ME.
Well no the installtuion says it cant detect any disks!!!
But windows still works fine whats this about!!

With this configuration - IDE-0: none, IDE-1: CDROM, IDE-2: IBM-307030
with Linux-2.4, IDE-3: none, Jumper 19: Raid disabled, Jumper 20: ATA100
Function - Linux only boots from floppy (Lilo with root=/dev/hde1).
Although the BIOS looks for a boot record from IDE-2, it does not find
it. If I attach the disk to IDE-1 (identical content, I only changed
hde->hda in fstab an lilo.conf), Linux boots fine, but write-speed slows
down by a factor of 2 (from 12 to 6 MB/s). This looks like ATA-66 on
IDE-2 and ATA-33 on IDE-1, doesn't it?
I hoped for a bootable system with ATA100 speed, but I got none of them
;-(
Any further progress since your posting end of March?
Any advice are welcome!

I don't think, it is possible.
Okay try this.
Make 2 partition and try to installed 2nd one in separate partition and if
you can find a way to make lilo boot both of them which would be good. Lilo
needs to know which one you wanna both like Windows/Linux. Once you have
installed both linux in separate partition make your lilo configurable (if
that is possible) so it can boot both of them. Finally my concern is this,
do you even have that much space to do installed both of them?
Or use floppy disk for one.
Good luck.

(a) they share the load, or
(b) if the primary fails, the secondary will transparently pick up and

I know nothing of Turbolinux, but I do know the kernel needs to have the
ability to see ide drives not physically on the motherboard, or controlled
by other controllers (e.g. Highpoint or Promise). See if there are
provisions for this with your install software.

Well, there are a lot of reasons why one might want to do this.
1) rollout of new versions is effortless. Just install the new pages,
scripts, etc.. and it just works the next time they load a page. You can do
this by centralizing the apps in a traditional environment as well, but then
you have to get everyone to exit their processes and reload. This isn't
something you would want to do automatically because users might have a page
up for a specific reason, and killing it on them could be disasterous.
2) You can use very low-end hardware for terminals (win 3.1 boxes even).
3) If you have Macs, PC's, Unix machines, etc.. they can all use the same
app without changing it, and without resorting to Java.
4) You get nice features "for free", such as the ability to open multiple
windows effortlessly and show different information, the ability to use the
"back" button to go back to previous data, etc..
5) You can let your sales staff access the information on the road easily
(and again, you don't have to get them to load new versions of the apps or
force them to download large apps when things are updated, etc..)
Of course many of these things can be done other ways, but HTML just makes a
lot of it easy and simple to implement.

Depends on the kind of factory it is. If it's a PC assembly line, the
terminals aren't in very heavy duty environments. Also, the system is used
by more than just people on the shop floor. It's used by sales staff, order
entry people, RMA people, accounting, HR, inventory, shipping/recieving,
etc...

probably not out of the box: afaik samba is an implementation of the SMB
protocol whith builtin file and printer sharing. you have to bring up the
database and make it accessible through samba. the load sharing and backup
would have to be provided by your data base application. i see no reason
why this should be difficult under linux

all the reasons you give describe a thin client arrangement, i.e. a client

This functionality depends on the motherboard you have, not the CPU
type. Most modern boards have embedded sensors which you can read
within Linux using the lm_sensors suite.
http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/
is almost certainly where you want to go.
Caveat: If you are using a 2.2 kernel, make sure to get the i2c package
available at the page mentioned above and install that first before
trying to compile and install lm_sensors. If you are using a 2.4
kernel, make sure that I2C support is compiled; it's in Character
Devices->I2C Support. (Just say "M" to everything there.)
