Unless it has been disabled, you should get root access with 'linux

Subject: Wrong NIC IRQ
Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000 00:33:41 GMT
I'm am completely frustrasted with Linux and my network card right
now. I have tried multiple cards, and no matter what I do I can't get
any of them to work. First I had a Linksys 10/100 Fastethernet card,
and now I'm playing around with the Netgear FA310TX (both of which
claim Linux support).
To my knowledge, both cards are set up correctly software wise - both
use the tulip driver, and I have my IP, Netmask, etc., entered
properly. But when I call ifconfig, only lo is listed, not eth0. If I
pass eth0 as a parameter to ifconfig, it displays it like it should,
and it'll all good with the correct numbers. However, I'm not getting
an IP address - when I call netstat -nr, my ip is 127.0.0.0, and all
the other numbers are 0's (or their defaults).
I think the problem is that Linux isn't detecting the correct IRQ for
my network card. While the kernel is booting up, eventually it says
that it detects the network card at IRQ 0, which I don't think is
right. In Windows, the card is at IRQ 10. So, I go into linuxconf and
change the IRQ of the card. Nope, it gives an error, saying that the
network is unreachable.
My next thought is that maybe it would work if I move it to a different
slot. Nope, still at IRQ 0. Now Windows thinks it's at 9, so I put 9
into linuxconf, but the network is still unreachable.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm a newbie to Linux, and I don't
really know how to fix many things in it yet, but I'm making progress.
Right now, I'm fresh out of ideas for this - about the only thing I can
think of doing is buying a new motherboard, which I'd really like to
avoid if at all possible.
Do you have any ideas on how to get my network card to work? It seems
like the cards are loading correctly (the Initializing eth0 message
generates an OK during kernel boot up), and ifconfig kinda knows the
card is there, but not really.
If you need any more info on my system, feel free to ask, and I'll be
happy to let you know. I just want to get this problem solved, because
after dealing with it on and off for two months, it's getting really
old.
Thanks in advance,
Andy

It's a lot easier, for one.
No messing in /etc/conf.modules. The OSS sound config utility is just a
matter of run, auto detect card, save and quit. Then you just run soundon to
turn on the module, and soundoff to turn it off.
OSS on the SuSE CDs is the FULL version.
You've effectively paid for it, so you might as well use it.
Also, OSS has a lot of drivers for sound cards that haven't got drivers for
linux yet.

You may be able to run Quicken using Wine, which is a Windows
emulator. But Quicken itself is not available under Linux.
There are similar programs such as moneydance and gnucash
which can read QIF files, os it probably would be possible
to rig something where you used the Linux program on your desktop,
pocketquicken on the palm and tranferred files in QIF format
back and forth. As you say there is quite a lot of software
for using a palm with Linux.

The current stable (2.2) kernels don't support USB, but it exists
in the development (2.3) kernels, so it will be supported in the
next stable (2.4) kernels. Thse will probably be available some
time this year. I don't know what has to be done so programs
such as gphoto which read flash media from digital cameras will
work via USB.

Many people in your circumstances use dual boot systems.
They keep Windows around for a few things that can't yet be
done conveniently under Linux. It is not hard to transfer
files back and forth, but it does take a few minutes to reboot
in the other OS. You can avoid that also (as some cost in
performace) by using vmware. This costs about $100 for
individuals and it allows you to run Windows as a task under
Linux, so you have a Windows window available when you need
it without rebooting. People who use it swear by it.

Yes. It is called dual booting. If you're running windows right now,
you'll need to make space for linux.
If you have a large hard disk that is in fat16, it is probably in several 2
gig partitions. You can simply move everything off of one, and delete it,
and then change it to a linux partition. If you have a large hard disk that
is fat32, you may have it all in one big partition. You'll need some more
specialized software to resize it.
At any rate, get a boxed distribution, probably redhat or corel, and read
the manual that comes with it very carefully. Screw up, and you could lose
everything.

Boot via a distrib floppy or cdrom and when it asks you to partition the
thing, use fdisk and just wipe the things out. Next stick a floppy in a win
box and format a: /s and put a copy of fdisk and format on it, also from the
win box. Boot to the floppy, add some fat16 partitions, format, and install
win.

Okay, I just installed Gnome and it seems to be working just
great. My only problem is figuring out how to get the server secured
to make Exmh (and my paranoid nature) happy.
Gnome-session says it doesn't understand the standard X "-auth"
switch, so passing it along the way you do to the other X servers like
XFree86 or whatever doesn't cut it. On the other paw, that's exactly
what the gdm docs say *it* does to secure the server.
Feedback loop!

Gnumeric appears to handle only 16384 entries (rows). The version supplied
with RH6.0 is Gnumeric v.23, rather old, but nothing I've
seen in the release notes for later versions (v.48 the latest)
indicates this limit has been increased.

I don't have a URL handy, but search for FTE, a console-mode editor by
Marco Macek (spelling?). There's also a KDE version called KFTE. FTE is
remarkably configurable, if you don't mind editing configuration files
to get it there. It's very DOS-like, in the (rather limited) ways DOS is
good. It's certainly not subject to DOS limitations, but its text mode
interface is quite nice. In fact, there are DOS, Win32, *nix and OS/2
versions of FTE, maybe more. I've not really used it under Linux, but I
had it working pretty well under Win95's console. There, it does all the
Shift+move=select, home/end, Ctrl+Home, etc., that you mention. However,
you'll probably want to tweak the colors and config. I'm not sure how
much (if any) of this capability is lost under *nix.

You can also emulate a Novell server (3.11/.12). I forget the name of the
