wireless card and fedora 7
by Joel Moxey 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Hi, I have installed FC7 on a rather old laptop using the live CD. I have also an old Netgear MA401 PCMCIA wireless network card. If the card is inserted during boot, the kernel panics and therefore the boot does not work. If the card is inserted once the machine is up; running "kudzu" followed by "ifup wlan up" work and the laptop is able to use the wireless card to access the network/internet. I think this is something to do with which kernel modules are loaded; but am struggling to find a fix which allows me to keep the card in during boot. Thanks for any help in advance. JM

Bluetooth

Hi Have been using FC6, and have a laptop from company called HCL (Indian) and Centrino processor. I have attached a USB dongle to it (version 1.2). Now this system is dual boot, so when i log on from windows, am able to see the rest of the devices on network. Now if i logon from FC6, am unable to check which devices are there. Any pointers to how can i see the bluetooth devices that have been registered by kernel (can i see in proc/ sys fileystem). Any inputs would be wonderfu.l.. Regards, Udayan

Targus Bluetooth Mouse Trouble...
by Dylan Ward 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

Hello to all... I am having desperate trouble getting my bluetooth up and running. In particular, I am trying to link a Targus Bluetooth Mouse (model: AMB0301EU...). But (there is always a but...), I seem to be unable to scan any devices. I have followed every bit of advice in, probably, every forum I could Google to no avail. I have a Toshiba Portege M400 Tablet PC. According to all that I have read, I should be up and working. I know that I have missed the joke and have not set up something, but I am at a loss as to what that is. Bluez-utils and Gnome-Bluetooth are both installed and you can see Bluetooth services firing up during the boot. I am no Guru, but I am not a complete newbie either. I have exhausted every effort and still no joy. Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. I apologise in advance if this topic was covered before. Regards, Dylan
