I had that problem once. I believe the problem had to do with the
controller BIOS being setup for Microsoft OShit.

I had a similar problem, but as it turned out it was a matter of the
volume control panel. Playing with it switched it on - eventually.

I didn't bother reading further into the function as soon as I saw the
first line of code that explained why it didn't work for you... :)
Yeah, there's probably more to do to get it to work, perhaps you
must read the memory yourself (using bus addresses and the official
functions that are used to access bus addresses (readb/writeb)),
store it in a kernel buffer, then copy that to user, or something...

Ich m�chte in einen linux-Rechner mehrere Netzwerkarten
im Verbund verwenden um somit an Bandbreite zu gewinnen.
Ich weiss dass dies m�glich ist (z.B. mit 3Com 905-TX (BTX))
d.h. die Netzwerkarte muss es unterst�tzen.
Nun denke ich mir dass es doch unter Linux genauso m�glich
sein muss, jeder Netzwerkkarte die selbe IP-Adresse zuzuteilen
sozusagen zu "sharen" (so wie Load Balancing bei Modems).
Die einzelnen Karten werden dann jeweils an einen Switch oder
Router angeschlossen. Somit kann ich jede Menge Traffic und
Kollissionen vermeiden, da z.B. 3 mal 100Mbit an einem Switch
und die anderen Clients mit jeweils 100Mbit an dem selben
Switch. Somit kann dieser "300Mbit Rechner" je 3 Clients
gleichzeitig mit 100Mbit (theoretisch) bedienen.

The light bulb just ignited above my head...
I was examining some drivers that performed slave mode PCI memory accesses. In
all cases, they had to use ioremap() to get the card's physical region mapped
into the MMU. The end result of ioremap() is a manipulation of the page table
entries (PTE's). So I examined /dev/mem's mmap method to figure out what it
does. Sure enough, it achieves its magic via manipulating PTE's.
So now it makes sense. You can't mmap() the RAM space because it would require
a change in the page tables, and if you do that to the kernel's memory space,
Bad Things(tm) can happen.
And I suppose that means that an lseek method to a PCI device could work if and
only if it has a driver doing an ioremap() on its behalf first.

Sorry should have been this ;-)
I want to use two or more NICs in my Linux Box together
with the same IP in order to gain some performance on
Bandwidth. (Like Load Balancing with ppp)
I've seen this on an W2K Server with 2 3Com 905-TX
(or B TX?). As far as i know the NICs have to support
this.
So I'm interested in doing this on my RH 6.2 Server.
The 2 (or even more) 100Mbit NICs will be connected
to a switch or router in order to get 200Mbit performance.
This should be possible, shouldn't it?
Can anyone tell me how, or give me some hints where to
find information about that?
regards, Reinhard

emu10k1 sometimes doesn't talk to kmix (or aumix) well, esp. for digital
(SPDIF) speakers, line-in and cd-in. Compile the little dm utility (it
came with the emu10k1 drivers from creative, in the utils subdirectory).
Then execute "dm unmute" and then "dm 75" (or anything large enough up
to 100). Now try playing with kmix.
Good luck

Hi just wondering if you are running an SMP machine? AFAIK the drivers
don't work on an SMP kernel (try recompiling kernel without SMP and see
if that makes it work - it did for me.... but then you lose a processor
:( ) I have bothered checking any of development sites recently so
that may have changed, don't know though.

Most probably your control files will be under /etc/qmail/. It seems to
me that's because the author organized the files thinking on making easy
running qmail on a chrooted jail. RH rpms are adjusted the files
distribution to the "standard" RH organization.
And about the users... If you're talking about *real* users (I mean,
with accounts under /etc/passwd) you most probably won't have to do
nothing special (under the assumption we both are talking about the same
RPMs) since a little script is added at /etc/cron.hourly that watch
/etc/passwd and adds any new user to the qmail/control files (except for
those regarded as not to be included in another control file which I
can't recall rigth now).

Then two things:
1/ I would suggest sendmail as probably better in your situation (I'm
not novice in the smtp arena but I found qmail bit'o... cumbersome)
2/ If you stay with qmail, you'll probably need dot-qmail and
fastaliases packets prior to go any further.

Well, you either can grap the tarballs at php.net or have a look at the

No you don't, but it's advised to do so prior to install the new version
