I have built a controler from Bruce Chubbs book "Building your own universal
Computer Interface" and my first step is to
find an empty 256k chunck in memory below 1 M.  I have code written in
QBasic to do such but I am try to build a driver for linux.
and I need to find an empty hole so I can set my dip switches on the board.

I have lifted the code below from Alessandro Rubini's book "Linux Device
Drivers" and when I try to complie the code I get many errors (26)
I am a pretty poor programer but I copied it verbatium except for the two
#include lines
Can anyone please advice.

Thanks in advance

Subject: Iomega products and Linux
Reply-To: Dominic Mitchell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
From: Dominic Mitchell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Dear Fellow Linux Users,

This is to inform you that according to the discussion I have had
with Iomega today regarding the warranty they provide for their
product sold to Linux users.  I was using successfully a Iomega
Ditto easy3200 insider for close to two years.  The drive failed
last night.  I was very frustrated to found out that since I could not
test the drive under one of Microsoft operating system Iomega could
not do anything about the warranty --- read they won't even consider
my claim!

Thus I advise any Linux users of Iomega products to manifest themselves
to Iomega ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) that if this is the policy
they want to adopt then the Linux community will have to consider
products from a friendlier company.  

Linux users that are considering to buy a Iomega product should also
contact Iomega and let them know that adopting such a policy is
going to influence the sales in the Linux market.

Here is a copy of the letter I have sent to Iomega




To whom it concerns,

I have been very deceived by the customer supports that Iomega
provides to their customers.  I have purchased two years ago a tape
backup from Iomega, a Ditto easy3200 insider.  Last night the drive
failed, it is still under warranty as the warranty expires on July 27
1999. 

Calling Iomega I have been told that if I do not run a Microsoft
Operating system, then Iomega cannot do nothing about the drive.
Basically I need to be able to test the drive under Microsoft.
Since I do not have Microsoft installed, then it is like having no
warranty at all.

Since the unit is (was) working under Linux, I find that Iomega has
a very strange commercial policy.  As it occurred to Iomega that
Linux is the fastest growing operating system on the market now?
Maybe those that decide the commercial policy of Iomega should get
some number straight?  Getting officials number of Linux users is a
difficult task since the operating system,  even though it can be
purchased from many distributors (like Redhat, Caldera, Suse,
Mandrake, etc. ), can simply be downloaded free of charge from ftp
sites all over the world.  A reasonable estimates would be in
between 8 to 9 Million users and growing very rapidly. 


Many important companies have backed Linux recently: 

- IBM is building server with Linux running as the OS  
- Intel and Netscape have invested in a Linux distribution Redhat
  Software   
- Oracle as ported its database software to Linux.
- Sybase
- Informix 
- Dell is shipping computers with Linux preinstalled on it 
- Corel as ported Wordperfect 8 on Linux and should release their
  office suite for Linux this summer.  Moreover they will be
  releasing their Linux distribution by next Fall.
- Compaq (Digital) 
- Silicon Graphics

I do not ask customer support from Iomega to have the drive working
under that alternative Operating System (Linux).  *Unfortunately*
the Linux community has been doing a good job at this level.  But
the least we can expect from Iomega is that they recognize when
their drives fail and this under any Operating System.  

What is shocking is that Iomega would not even consider an advance
shipment, where you give them your credit card number and they ship
you a replacement drive and you send them back your broken drive or
any other form of customer support.  By any such method they could
then easily check that the drive is broken.  This is what is totally
unacceptable. 

I have no other choice but to spread the word around in the Linux
community that:

 1)  if they have a current Iomega product running under Linux then 
     they cannot count on their warranty  

 2)  If they are considering to buy Iomega product to run on Linux
     then they should consider a competitor of Iomega who's
     commercial practices are more supportive of their favorite
     Operating System.

        _DNS and Bind_ is pretty good for learning how to correctly
        configure your own DNS Server -- though  I should point out
        that the DNS HowTo is understaandable enough for just a

Oops, I assumed you were using the "redhatppp" Linuxconf module.  Then
you are using the "dialout" module which does support CHAP...

Why two different accounts?   I would guess the first

You are correct that a dial up connection would be PPP0. In this
case, you would probably have to designate a gateway address and not
an interface. The gatway would be the host that is the first hop out
of your box. Also, the interface must be active when you add a route.

Also, if you have access to dns when your dial up interface is active,
you can use hostnames and not IP numbers in your route command.

Try route add -host helena.domain.name gw (your default gw)

I made the assumtion that both boxes were on a local hub.

The -a option shows only the first IP for each interface. You are seeing

/proc/net/aliases, I see that in 2.0 systems, but not 2.2.

I have the Netgear FA310TX PCI and a Netgear EA201c ISA card working just
fine, no problems at all.
I run the FA310tx on a Stampede dist and the EA201c on a Slackware using
2.2.9 kernels. I used the
DEC_ELCP (from the .config file) driver for the FA310TX and the
NE2000/1000 driver for the EA201c NIC.

Did you update your /etc/hosts.allow?
Do a "dmesg|grep eth0" to see if your kernel has detected your NIC
Did you recompile your kernel to support the different driver needed for
the PCI card?

Subject: Help in setting up IP masquerading
Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 17:54:05 -0500

Hi,

    I just got DSL service.  I use my old 486DX2/66 as firewall, and use
IP masquerading since we have only 1 static IP assigned.  My problem is
that all the services work except ftp.  Our internal home LAN have class
c IP 192.168.1.0.  When we use ftp, we can connect to the ftp server.
However, we can't do anything with it after login.  eg. I type ls, and
it should show me the directory listing.  However, it replies an error
msg instead.  The error is 'can't reach network 192.168.1.x', which is
the address of my machine in LAN.  Would anyone tell me how come these
ftp server (and some other similar service as well) would try to reach
my machine directly instead of going thru firewall?  IP masquerading
works upstream but not downstream?  Am I setting up ipfwadm wrong?  We
have 2 ethernet card installed: eth0 is connected with DSL, and eth1 is
connected to LAN.  The command line I used for ipfwadm (forwarding
policy) is:

    ipfwadm -F -a accept -m -W eth0 -S $MY_LAN/24 -D $WORLD/0

    Do I need another forwarding policy for it?  or else?  Thanks for
help in advance.  Pls. reply me via e-mail by deleting '?' in my e-mail
address.

I've been trying for some time to get IP over AppleTalk working on the
LocalTalk network that is connected to my Linux machine, and have finally
decided to ask for some help.

Here's the situation. I have a LocalTalk board that is successfully supported
by the cops driver (lt0) and netatalk (netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.0) on my Red Hat
Linux 6.0 (2.2.5 kernel) system. Those services provided directly by netatalk
work just fine. I can print to my LocalTalk-connected Apple LaserWriter Plus,
and our two Mac Performas and SE can successfully mount a Linux disk partition
on their desktops with AppleShare. So I know that there is basic connectivity
working.

But I seem completely unable to get encapsulated IP working between Linux and
the Macs. I'm using MacTCPWatcher on the Mac side to try and do a ping, but
pings don't respond in either direction. Here's what npblkup shows on the
LocalTalk net:

               gate.localdomain:AFPServer                          65280.7:128

The Linux machine is gate, and the silly names are by boys' Performas. As you
can see, both Macs are registering IP addresses, and they can ping each other.
But the Linux machine is not registering an IP address, in spite of the fact
that I've told linuxconf to configure lt0 (LocalTalk device) and ipddp0
(encapsulation/decapsulation pseudo device) with IP addresses. Here's the
output of ifconfig:

ipddp0    Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

And here is the routing table:

192.168.2.1     *               255.255.255.255 UH        0 0          0 ipddp0
192.168.2.0     *               255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 ipddp0
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 lt0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U         0 0          0 lo

I guess that I was expecting that things would just work at this point. But
they don't, and I don't seem to be able to figure out what I need to do to
turn things on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Was it installed on you're windows box with Plug & Play Enabled? I'm not
familiar with RH 6, but 5.1 couldn't recognize mine untill I reinstalled
the card.  Also, I think you'll have to pass the IRQ value through the
module as well. in 5.1 the file is /etc/conf.modules

alias eth0 = eepro
io=0x300 irq=5

good luck hope this helps -
