Do you have the Genius Sound Maker 3DJ (CS4237)? I can't see anywhere
where any Genius sound card is listed as supported by Linux, but I think
that OSS (Open Sound System) supports this card. (OSS drivers are
commercial, though, but not expensive I don't think.) Did your sound go
away only after installing the 3c900B or did you install both together
with Linux?

Hi,
does anyone know if there's an ICQ-client for the ICQ-for-Intranet Server?
The varios ICQ clients around don't seem to cope with the Intranet-ICQ, I am
unable to connet to the server (which is running on a NT-machine).
The servers seems to complain about a wrong UDP-Version, but I don't know
what this should mean. I am using suse linux 6.1.

Subject: Converting Aironet AccessPoint to Bridge
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 1999 12:56:15 GMT
Hello all,
Has anyone, that has has experience with Aironet products (or
otherwise, I suppose), been able to modify an AccessPoint to do Ethernet
bridging?? As a student, I came by a used three pack of the access
points for cheap, and scooped them up, not exactly knowing that I would
have to buy proprietary ISA cards. As a student, I really can't afford
this. And since I dropped more than $1000 bucks into the three
devices, I'd rather not throw that away - I wanna use these things!
So, now I'm on a crusade to figure out if it is possible to modify the
devices to do bridging.
Technical Support was less than helpful - the tech adamantly
denied that he knew of a way to do a field upgrade, but offered me a
Customer Support rep (who he claimed, knew more "intimate detail" about
the device) who has yet to return my call. He did slip me some
interesting bits, and I have divined some other stuff:
1) The hardware is totally modular; popping a cover open revealed that I
can pull the ethernet device in and out, as well as the RF Radio module.
It is obvious that this device was made for a production environment
that had a few very similar devices. Those similar devices being a
wireless hub and a wireless bridge.
2) The firmware (version 4.2C) binaries are identical for the AccesPoint
and the Bridge (I thought that was very interesting...no, I haven't
tried uploading the wrong firmware yet)
3) The way bridging is accomplished is by setting the Route parameter
(in the setup program) to ``Off" on one bridge, but ``On" on the other,
and then connecting your networks to either end of the radio link. The
technical support rep said that the reason that won't work with access
points, is that they turn off the Ethernet device if Route is set to
``Off". Anyone know if I can override this, somehow?
Any further information about the operation or modification of these
devices would be much appreciated!!!!

Thanks, but:
First, the command I'm trying was mistyped in my original post; I am
indeed using a double-slash as one of the responders suggested.
Second, I've seen several posts on this newsgroup with examples of
smbmount usage similar
to that suggested above, though usually as follows:
smbmount //server/share -c 'mount /mnt/mount_point'
^^^^^ omitted above
This bears no resemblance to the syntax given on the smbmount man page,
which is:
smbmount //server/share /mount-point
In particular, the option '-c' is, according to the man page, used to
pass a netbios name to the server, whereas above it seems to have
something to do with issuing the call to mount. If I try syntax anything
like that used above, I get a message telling me the "correct" usage.
So,what's going on: inconstancy between smbmount behavior and man page?
Different versions of smbmount?

Hi - I'm still fairly new at this game , but after recompiling my kernel
, I get these errors:
(just after init decides what runlevel to enter - same for level 3 and
5)
modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-4
modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-4
modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-5
modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-5
Now I remember I used to see something like 'loading AppleTalk; loading
ethernet' before I fooled around with my kernel (and modules).
Everything still works (I'm dial-up only at the moment) , but these are
just annoying - plus, I'd like to know what they are, and where modprobe
is trying to load them from (what script) , so I can turn the buggers
off.
if you can reply by mail that'd great
(speaking of which; any good offline newsreaders for Linux [Redhat
5.2]?)
Thanks again,

SIOCPGRP should work, at least for sockets.

You have to use a real time signal (siginfo is only supported for them).
The correct prototype for the signal handler is:
void handler(int sig, void *context, siginfo_t *info)
{
int fd = info->si_fd;
...
}
Note you also need an additional SIGIO handler that uses the traditional poll()
to find out, because the kernel falls back to SIGIO if it can't queue the
extended signal for some reason.

I'm trying to connect to two networks which are both using

Do you have all the machines defined in the hosts table or in the DNS

security of networking services.
I think I would put all the machines name in the local hosts table
first. Make sure you might need maru.org.uk in each entry.

Subject: setting up a PPP server: which tools are best?
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 1999 15:58:17 +0200
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(this may be a duplicate, the first send seemed to hang)
Hi - I need to set up a PPP server. Incoming callers dial into the
(one) modem and then get sent on - via IP forwarding - to another host
on the same subnet. Off-subnet access is physically impossible.
The server needs to run kernel 2.0.37 - memory is very tight (8 MB) and
uses libc5; it is based on SuSE 5.3.
The server does not run X because of the memory limitations, although I
could 'borrow' enough memory to run some configuration tool if
necessary.
Password authentication can be on or off (don't care) because the target
machine has it's own. When I know which ports are necessary for the
job, I will close the others to ppp.
Dialback would be nice but not if it complicates the setup. I am not
completely sure that the dialin clients can handle it anyway.
I have had a quick look at mgetty and was rather appalled, are there any
alternatives (or setup tools)?
Since my provider 'loses' newsgroups and messages regularly, it would be
good if any replies could (also) be addressed to
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - the '.NoSpam' in my address is (of
course) noise.

The command 'route' tries very hard to resolve IP addresses. If you
aren't connected to a name server that can resolve that particular IP
address for you, route will loop for a while. To verify your newly added
gw, you can try:
$ route -n
... which will show numeric values instead of symbolic names.

I assume that you looked into smbmount? That will mount a Win95 share
and make it look like another filesystem on your linux box. It comes
with the newest samba packages even though they claim it isn't related
to their stuff.

Make sure that you log into Win95 as the same name as a user on you
linux box, and that the the win95 workgroup name (see identification
under control panel -> network) is the same as the work group that you
have named in the samba configuration file. You'll only be able to

the directories that you say are readable in the configuration file,
plus the home directory of the username you logged into the win95 box

I'm not running a 2.2.x kernel, but with ipfwadm, you can log port
connections that are denied. This way you can debug which ports the games
