Proxim Symphony wireless drivers
Hi, I am using Proxim Symphony Wireless LAN card on one of my systems with kernel 2.2.19. I may reinstall with a different Linux distro and upgrade to kernel 2.4. The Proxim Symphony Wireless LAN site (http://www.komacke.com) has disappeared. Does anyone know where I can find drivers for Linux for this product?

Thank you for replying!
I have tried those methods and they did not work. What I did as recommended
by someone, is that I added "strace" to the process in /etc/inittab
SV:2345:respawn:strace env - PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin svscan
/service /backup/strace.out
Instead of sending the strace messages to the console, I saved them to a file.
Part of the log is at the end of this note. Most of these messages seem to be
from the memory module.
If anyone could look at these messages and let me know how to fix it, I would
appreciate it.
Thank you in advance for any help!

A second possibility (try this first - its easer:
I see that the daemon is to run in modes 2345. There is a possiblity
that you have this entry near the beginning of the inittab. If so, try
putting it at the end. I believe that init runs each line of the

Adaptec 2940 and Linux 2.2.19
Hi, The kernel configuration menu items have been changing quite a bit. So, I apologize for asking a trivial question in this forum. I am trying to configure and install linux kernel 2.2.19. This system has a Adaptec 2940 SCSI adapter. I have enabled SCSI support kernel configuration menu and also have selected all the Adaptec low-level drivers. They include (actually what is offered), AHA152X/2825, AHA1542 and AHA1740. When the kernel is booting up it still does not find the AHA2940 adapter. What (other) options should I configure to make Linux 2.2.19 find the adapter?
