Re: Powerbook G4 1.33 GHz CPU temperature
Compile it as a module and you can load the module with the the params fan_speed and limit_adjust e.g in /etc/modules ;-) The solution to adjust the gpu temp linear to the cpu temp isn't a good one yet. We have to control them separate. Maybe Ben is reading this an can tell some details? All I can suggest is to look at what Darwin does ... A friend of mine just got a 1.5Ghz and is having frequent lockups on load, it could be temperature related. Ben.

Bundle of problems: display/airport/2.6.5 kernel
Hi everybody, I am running Sid on an 800mhz ibook. I've downloaded the development 2.6.5 benh kernel (thanks for all the good work, ben) from ppckernel.org, I believe the exact model is 2.6.5-r3. Problems: 1. The kernel helps solve my display problems, but creates network problems. I was ecstatic to discover that installing the 2.6.5 benh helped solve my display problems. By installing dri-trunk, xlibmesa-gl, and xlibmesa-glu, and using the configurations instructions I found here: http://seb.france.free.fr/linux/ibookG4/iBookG4-howto-4.html, the LCD monitor runs fine. Unfortunately, the kernel does not seem to recognize my ethernet card or my airport card. When I try to do the appropriate modprobes, the modules file comes up barren. My system is unhappy there is no modules.dep file for it to read -- one did not come with the kernel. Is Airport support incorporated into the kernel? Naturally, my impulse was to download the source and create a new kernel that would include my desired modules. That leads to problem #2. 2. Compilation of the 2.6.5 kernel fails on the account of binutils. I don't recall the exact error message, but the error message from my makefile says that I must have a certain edition of binutils installed -- but my binutils package is more current than the one they desire. After searching the online documentation on this problem, I've concluded it may be a bona-fide bug and beyond my troubleshooting capabilities. I obtained the source from kernel.org -- do I need to get the source from ppckernel.org? I figure the next step will be to use a 2.4 kernel with the appropriate changes involved and keep my fingers crossed that it will not nuke my screen. The kernel I use is from the benh tree, it is the ibook-specific kernel from the benh tree. This leads to the next problem: 3. The 2.4 kernel nukes my keyboard. Naturally, the response to this will be to compile my own 2.4 kernel. I sincerely hope the kernel supports FBDev, so my XFree86 does not freak out again. I think regressing to 2.4 is a less than satisfactory solution -- is there another route? Potential solutions: can anyone point me to a file of modules that can be kludged into the current modules directory for my 2.6.5 kernel? The plan is to use these auxiliary modules to obtain working airport/ethernet drivers. Another potential solution: do I need to mess around with my network config files to pass the right driver-initialization commands into the 2.6.5 kernel? Thanks in advance. -Marc
Note : airport extreme linux [Was: Re: airport and encryption]
As a rider to this the latest Airport Extreme Base Station software _does not_ show a hex key to access the base station. Apple do something non-standard in the way they generate this key. The only way I have found to learn the key is to re-setup the base station using the Setup Utility. This will note the key non Mac clients need to use to access the base station.

It would be better to install as the readme. But is as easy as compiling the module, installing it and plug the USB. It worked on my iBook, so it is only time to work for you. If it does not work, tell us things such as: #dmesg (after plug the card) Any errors during the compile? Kernel version? How do you have the USB stuff put? pgpULq1tG4g70.pgp Description: PGP signature

I got connected to the base station and can ping my LAN but I can't ping anything on the Internet yet. The /etc/resolv.conf file has the proper DNS addresses and with eth0 active I can connect to the Internet. Route is properly configured but the DNS resolving is not working nor pinging an Internet IP address directly. What I have been doing has been entering in the wrong information at the wrong places. With all the help everyone and the suggestions along the way, I have been understanding wireless much more than when I had started. Using the base station utility and retrieving the hex password helped out tremendously and entering it as the key which I have been entering the wrong on into the airport card and that is where the whole mess came up. I did not understand that entering the information using iwconfig actually changes the stored information on the card. Thank you so much everyone for your help with this. -Adam
