Damn bad luck. I love my ricochet, but have Metricom as the provider. I've used it in the bay area, LA and OC area, Boulder, and NYC. It was a snap to setup with the acm module, and I get almost full 115kbit throughput.

I don't see anything in the ACM driver that would cause a problem for
large MTU settings. It is probably a device limitation, not the driver.
The Richochet USB stuff uses generic serial I/O. No special driver. And it
works fine under Win/ME. Have you run a regular PPP connection over the
ACM driver with an MTU of 1500?

I'm running it here.. No problems yet on my Toshiba test laptop, which is the same behavior (for me) on 2.4.0-pre10 vanilla. ACPI changelog, from http://developer.intel.com/technology/IAPC/acpi/index.htm follows... Summary of changes for this label: 01_25_01 Core ACPI CA Subsystem: Restructured the implementation of object store support within the interpreter. This includes support for the Store operator as well as any ASL operators that include a target operand. Partially implemented support for Implicit Result-to-Target conversion. This is when a result object is converted on the fly to the type of an existing target object. Completion of this support is pending further analysis of the ACPI specification concerning this matter. CPU-specific code has been removed from the subsystem (hardware directory). New Power Management Timer functions added Linux OS Services Layer (OSL): Moved system state transition code to the core, fixed it, and modified Linux OSL accordingly. Fixed C2 and C3 latency calculations. We no longer use the compilation date for the version message on initialization, but retrieve the version from AcpiGetSystemInfo(). Incorporated for fix Sony VAIO machines. Documentation: The Programmer Reference has been updated and reformatted. ASL Compiler: Version X2013: Fixed a problem where the line numbering and error reporting could get out of sync in the presence of multiple include files. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ -- Drew Bertola | Send a text message to my pager or cell ... | http://jpager.com/Drew - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

[OT] Vaio Brightness [WAS: Probably Off-topic Question...]
Ok, I stuffed Tridge's inb / outb program into a little gnome window. Just seems easier to have a spinbox to adjust brightness. Shits and giggles. You can find it at: http://drew.serialhacker.net/vaio_control.tar.gz You either have to run it as root or throw the executable into /usr/local/bin and set the sticky bit.

Does anyone know how to get the screen brightness control to work on a Sony Vaio N505VE? There seems to be some sort of proprietary hook to get it to work that requires their install of Windows. (This is a problem as it was removed immediatly after purchacing the laptop.) All the newer Vaios seem to have this problem. They rely on support from Windows to control the brightness, instead of doing it through the BIOS, like older machines. I don't know a solution. More annoyingly, they won't hibernate, as they rely on Windows Me or 2000 doing it for them. The APM hibernate in the BIOS seems to have gone. I have a Z505GAT, which I think is the Asian version of the model sold in the US as the Z505LE. I guess this will become the norm now none of the current versions of Windows require any hibernation support from the BIOS. The hibernate to swap patch for Linux really needs to get into the mainstream, and be more thoroughly exercised. if anyone finds a way of dimming the brightness make sure you post! besides killing the battery, it also makes it hard to use in dark places such as night flights. i feel as if i'm lighting up the cabin in these cases. my vaio F-series used to sleep correctly under RH6.1. it now hangs forever making the sleep mode much less useful. Maybe it has some problems with the way you send it to sleep. It could have changed through the times... Cheers!

Re: The advantage of modules?
My best reasons are... Development: You don't have to recompile the kernel a billion times while working on a driver, you just recompile the module. Also, you can debug, unload, fix, recompile, reload a module to add or fix pieces of it all (hopefully) without rebooting. Practical usage: When I take my laptop on the road I use ppp, so I load it then. Most of the time I don't need it, so I don't load it.
