[gentoo-user] NetGear WG111 Using ndiswrapper
Hi, i just got a NetGear WG111 USB adapter, and im trying to set it up with ndiswrapper. all is good, except for loading the module. this is the relevant output of dmesg: ndiswrapper version 1.2 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no) ndiswrapper: driver netwg111 (NETGEAR, Inc.,03/03/2004, 1.0.8.4) loaded ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:314): log: C000138A, count: 3 (c001), return address: c4983fe3 ndiswrapper (ndiswrapper_add_usb_device:363): Windows driver couldn't initialize the device (C0010006) ndiswrapper: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -22 usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper modprobe doesnt get the same output, tho, this is the output of dmesg when I modprobe it (the previous one was at reboot): ndiswrapper version 1.2 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no) usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper I followd this guide in the forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-364599.html The only difference I see between the output im supposed to be getting and the one I get that could cause a problem is this line: ndiswrapper version 1.2 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no) MINE ndiswrapper version 1.1 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no) ORIGINAL Just to be sure, i unmasked ndiswrapper and installed 1.16, but I get almost the same output: ndiswrapper version 1.16 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no) usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper this is lsusb: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0846:4240 NetGear, Inc.

I dont think that could be a problem, but who knows. I havent found anyone on the forums or #gentoo with the same problem, or any information in #nidwrapper or the wiki. -- Gabriel Dain -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] emerge without download
I download first all the files and put them in /usr/portage/distfiles. After that, I can make an emerge package. So you download them manually? If so, its better to use emerge -f package. It automatically downloads the files and all dependencies to /usr/portage/distfiles, and you can be 100% sure that when you emerge them for good it will use those files. Or, if you must download them manually, try using overlays, and ebuild package digest so that portage knows to use THAT file and it doesnt return md5 errors (size and so on, if Portage uses different tars) -- Gabriel Dain -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

home directory is ~. Get used to writing ~ for the home directory, so that your scripts/apps/whatever are plug n play for all users. Gabio -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] New To Gentoo and Emerge, No ACPI in Kernel
Are you sure you compiled it as embbeded, and not module? (* or M in menuconfig). If it is M, you'll have to load the module, and add it to the list of modules that are loaded at startup. -- Gabriel Dain -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] telnet localhost
If you really wanted to telnet to yourself (i dont see any circumstance in which this would be useful), you'd have to set up a telnet/ssh server: http://freessh.org/unix.html -- Gabriel Dain -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] telnet localhost
Did you actually read the original mail? You don't need a telnet server to make a telnet connection to the NNTP server. No, sorry, I thought the original mail was the one starting with I want to test that leafnode is up and running, so am using telnet: my bad -- Gabriel Dain -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Is this possible ? (Emerge)
the DISTDIR variable in make.conf does exactly that. You could make a (relatively) simple script to change its value whenever needed. Gabriel Dain -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] New To Gentoo and Emerge, No ACPI in Kernel
However, I don't know how to rebuild the kernel # cd /usr/src/linux # make menuconfig !--- Add whatever support you need, i've never worked with ACPI, sorry --- # make make modules_install # reboot that should do it, if support is what you need. However, this will probably be more useful: # emerge -av acpid !--- -av means --verbose and --ask, so you can see what you're actually emerging, and have to choice no to, if you want --- and read this for help on configuring it: http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_ACPI_basic_configuration Gabriel Dain -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] My Gentoo is too secure ... ;)
I think you just need to add the user to the wheel group. HTH which you probably cannot do without logging in as root at a console as once you log into X as user, you cannot su. chicken egg chicken egg. Thats true... However: I can login as root at the text console. useradd -G wheel *name* *password* Gabriel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If the problem is you log straight into KDE, you could boot from the Gentoo CD, and chroot to your system Gabriel Dain -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
