I was helping a friend with a soho network card. It detected a tulip and
installed for it. After several hours, we got nowhere
with it. We went to the soho website and got the source code and recompiled
it.
I would recommend you go to the manufacturer or your NIC card (most of them
have Linux drivers).
Copy the compile instruction from the readme file and paste it on to the
x-terminal session.
The compile instruction is usually long and complicated and prone to typos.

I believe that redhat wants to find the cd at /mnt/cdrom. I don't
remember glint too well these days. If I remember right, one view is to
see all the installed packages and the next view is to see the available
packages? Make sure you have the original redhat cd in the drive and
change it /mnt/cdrom in the path. It should mount. If not, you could
just install the rpms (like ppp and others) that make up the dialup stuff
manually. Mount the cd and go to the RPMS directory and install things
like ppp, perhaps a few others.
It would be better to go to a later redhat like 6.2 or perhaps Mandrake.
RedHat 5.2 was great in its time but its kinda dated now.

First, I disabled network and all adapters. Next
I disabled in startup. Now I manually load
mods each time and it works fine. I've tried to
have it start during boot, but the error messages were

Next project is to get ADSL to run reliably through net card. I got it to

please look in the /var/log directory and find where
your system is logging a record of what goes on
when you try to connect. If you can't make any sense

Subject: UPS Shutdown for Linux
Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2000 01:18:34 GMT
I want to buy a UPS for my small home network. I want to have 3 CPUs,
my KVM, and monitor plugged into it. The problem is that I have 2
machines running Linux (RH 6.2) and 1 running Win98. I would plug the
comm port from the UPS into one of the boxes and have it signal the
others to shutdown when the power fails.
Now for the question....I have heard that 98 won't accept a shutdown
command from outside it's own OS (security or something), but is there
a way to have the 98 machine signal the Linux boxes to shutdown over
the network??
Thanks,

Subject: What happens to TCP/IP?
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2000 01:46:19 GMT
G'day,
I'm running Red Hat 6.2 on a small office server, and one of it's
tasks is to manage our dial-up internet connection. It's set up start
pppd and run it in the background using the demand and idle 300
options.
However, it doesn't quite do this: it dials on boot and stays
connected regardless of whether anyone is using the link. Then if I
manually hang up (ifdown ppp0), it seems to break TCP/IP somehow, so
that on redial (ifup ppp0), it will dial, and seems to log in OK (the
message log shows the reassignment of local and remote IP addresses),
but none of the clients can connect (I've tried HTTP, SMTP, POP, NNTP
and ping).
Is there a log that can show me what's happening? Has anyone seen this
kind of problem before?

Subject: Need help rebuilding Kernel or just the usb/dc2xx.c module
I'm using RedHat Linux 7.0
I need to rebuild the usb-uhci driver to take advantage of the
newer Kodak DC3400 Digital Camera which is basically an updated
DC280 which the dc2xx driver supports. I want to be able to
access this camera using the USB port vice the slower serial

following results:

'more /proc/bus/usb/drivers' produces the following:
80- 95: dc2xx
hub
usbdevfs
I added the above dc2xx driver entry in the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
file.
The Camera is also seen using the usbview command. However, if you
look at the 'Driver=(none)' entry above, it should state dc2xx
instead. However, looking at the source file, there's no entry for
this camera type.
In this file /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/drivers/usb/dc2xx.c, I added
the following line right after the Kodak DC-280 entry:
{ 0x040a, 0x0132 }, // Kodak DC-3400
Now, I would like to know how to recompile the usb driver for
the kernel so the dc2xx driver recognizes this DC-3400 camera.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

I have a RedHat 6.2 i686 system running kernel 2.2.16-3 and I have a
need to be able to read a NTFS hard disk partition. I've compiled the
read-only fs module from the kenrel source distribution, installed it
to /lib/modules/2.2.16-3/fs/ntfs.o and then done depmod. When I mount
the filesystem with "-t ntfs", I can browse the directories and so on,
but trying to read stuff properly (like using this as a tar.gz or
mkisofs source tree) ends up being flaky, or worse, freezes or crashes
the whole machine. Actually, even "du" keeps changing its output
from one run to another.
Am I doing something silly, or is NTFS support still this bad?
Now that I think about all this, what is the difference between the
experimental read/write version and what I've done?

Red Hat 6.2 had no difficulty detecting my Dell Dimension XPS P166c's

an external 100 MB SCSI Zip drive on the same external SCSI chain, and
Red Hat's installation only recognized one of the two external Zip

some fairly intricate configuration -- at least, intricate for me, who
was a complete Linux neophyte -- to get it to recognize all three of the
Iomega drives, but I did it. (Wish I remembered what I did, since I'm

Straight from the source RPM on the install CD. I looked through all

and I couldn't see anything particularly wrong with any of the settings. I
definitely wanted to toggle off all the "experimental" code settings, but
