NIC
Does anyone know if SmartLink 10/100TX Fast Ethernet Adapter (I think it's also Realtek RTL8139) is supported by Linux? If so, the name of the driver please. Kevin
Kernel upgrade
Hi, I have a (stable) potato rv2, that's running kernel 2.2.18pre21. Before I upgrade and compile kernel 2.4, is there any thing I need to watch out for? I heard somebody said that some modules, headers path, whatever, have to change. Can someone give me some guidance? Kevin
Where can I find modversion.h???
Hi, I am tring to get my network card working and recently got the source codes from a developer. I followed his instruction to compile but got the error of modversion.h not found error: DarkHorse:/usr/src/modules# gcc -I/usr/include/linux -DMODULE -D_KERNEL_ -O6 -c winbond-840.c winbond-840.c:111: linux/modversions.h: No such file or directoryIn file included from winbond-840.c:133:kern_compat.h:42: linux/modversions.h: No such file or directory Yeah,it is true that it isn't found when I check the /usr/include/linux directory. I am wondering if the header file is supposed to be created when the kernel is compiled. And how do I get modversion.h? By recompiling the source again or what? I have a kernel of 2.2.18pre21. Thanks in advance, Kevin Lee
Winbond 840 NIC Card
Hi, I've downloaded the winbond NIC card before. It works fine with my RH6.2. I now switch to debian and experience some problems while compiling. Here is a brief description: DarkHorse:/usr/src/modules# uname -aLinux DarkHorse 2.2.18pre21 #1 Sat Nov 18 18:47:15 EST 2000 i586 unknownDarkHorse:/usr/src/modules# gcc -DMODULE -D_KERNEL_ -O6 -c winbond-840.c winbond-840.c:111: linux/modversions.h: No such file or directoryIn file included from winbond-840.c:133:kern_compat.h:42: linux/modversions.h: No such file or directoryDarkHorse:/usr/src/modules# gcc -DMODULE -D_KERNEL_ -O6 -c pci-scan.c pci-scan.c:56: linux/modversions.h: No such file or directoryIn file included from pci-scan.c:67:kern_compat.h:42: linux/modversions.h: No such file or directoryDarkHorse:/usr/src/modules# I do have version.h under /usr/include/linux directory, but I don't see modversion.h lying around anywhere. I have looked at the document (www.scyld.com/expert/modules.html) on how to obtain the header file for version.h so I figured I could the similar thing for modversion.h, but I found out I don't have the source for he kernel, so I couldn't do:cd /usr/src/linux; make include/linux/modversion.h I was wondering if I can have anyone's modversion.h, will it matter? Or anyway specific way of getting it. Thanks, Kevin

getting dhcp package
Hi, I wonder what kind of dhcp package I need to install to make my network work. There are 5 packages found at package list for the stable distribution of debian: stable dhcpcd 1:1.3.17pl2-8 (36.3k) DHCP client for automatically configuring IPv4 networking stable dhcp-relay 2.0pl4-2 (136.4k) DHCP Relay stable dhcp-client 2.0pl4-2 (183.5k) DHCP Client stable dhcp-dns 0.50-3 (9.9k) Dynamic DNS updates for DHCP stable dhcp 2.0pl4-2 (195.4k) DHCP server for automatic IP address assignment Do I need a server or client or both? Mm, I guess just client. What's DHCP Relay? Anyone knows? Kevin
Re: Dumbterminal on network
Robert, If it is a cisco router you will see a RJ45 console port on the back of it. The 7000, 7500 series if I remember correctly will have a RS-232. This is actually a serial connection that runs a 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. Cisco also supplies an adapter for the serial connection between a terminal or pc and the RJ45. While in console mode you can telnet directly out to another host. The command is: telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or telnet hostname if you have dns set up on the router. By attaching the dumb terminal to the router's console port you will not need to assign an IP address.

I want to make it able to login to the router I have and telnet out. What would be best would be a straight telnet machine without logining into the router, but I don't think that is possible. All it has on it is a serial port and no way to assign it an IP. I'm guessing I can just make this another terminal screen on the router, but I'm not quite sure how to do this. I should be able to connect the two serial ports together and tell the router to put a console to that com port, right? Or any I way off? How would I go about adding this dumb terminal to the network? Any help would be preciated. Thanks.

Re: dselect.... missing the obvious?
Chris, When you choose option number 2 in dselect, press the space bar to clear the help screen and then press the slash key (/). This will put you in a search mode. Just type in the name of the package you wish to install at the Search for ? prompt. At 11:01 AM 3/31/99 -0500, you wrote: Hello again and thanks for all the help this debian-newbie is getting! I've done several (custom) installs of slink using dselect, and each time I waste a bunch of time searching for certain packages I want for instance ntp, sendmail, snmp, pine, joe I am getting a little more familiar with the organization of the packages but it seems I must be doing it the difficult way, manually searching through the entire list! I know about the re-order list options, but there must be a way to search the package list for a keyword, package name or catagory, how do I do this? Second, once I have a favorite base system, can I integrate that into the dselect program for future installs? TIA, Chris * Chris Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] !!! HELP FIGHT SPAM !!!

Netscape
I just installed Netscape 4.08 using dselect on debian 2.1. When I try to start Netscape I get the following error: ./netscape: can't load library 'libXpm.so.4' I appreciate any help you all can give. Kevin Lee Vulcan Industries (205) 640-2433 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vulcanind.com
X11
I have just installed Debian Linux 2.1 from scratch. Everything is working properly except X11. I am currently using a Diamond Stealth 64 Video VRAM graphics adapter. My problem is as follows: When Linux boots up xdm is automatically started (which is fine). The GUI login screen appears. When I login in as root or any other user X11 seems to try to start but then flickers and returns to the login screen. If any one knows how to correct this I would be grateful.
