Airport Card Problems
by Ron Patterson
I can't get my airport card working on my bronze powerbook. I am running
a Netgear WGR-614 with open security. The airport card works fine under
Panther.
The card is being detected and the drivers are installed. Here is the
output from dmesg.
orinoco 0.15rc3 (David Gibson <hermes(a)gibson.dropbear.id.au>, Pavel
Roskin <proski(a)gnu.org>, et al)

And the output from lsmod.

Here is the output from iwconfig. I have put the card in managed mode
and set the essid. I have even forced the router to use channel 3 2422
mhz with no results.

Does anyone have an original airport card working under Fedora Core 4?
Any help would be appreciated.

by Jack Aboutboul
**Please pass this around to anyone who might find this relevant**
FUDCon Boston 2006 Call For Papers
I would like to start out by thanking both the community and developers
who have helped make Fedora such a huge success on so many different
fronts.
Riding on the success of the series of FUDCon events worldwide I am
proud to announce that we will be holding FUDCon Boston 2006, taking it
back to where it all began. The event will be graciously hosted by
Boston University once again with sponsorship from BU Department of
Electrical and Computer Engineering, the BU Office of Information
Technology, and this year, the BU School of Management. The date for
the event is Friday April 7th, the day following the LinuxWorld
Conference and Expo.
We are looking for interesting topics and presentations covering a
number areas. Talks should be focused on one of the 3 main tracks.
Track 1 - User Track : Topics that deal with the user experience,
desktop innovations, etc.
Track 2 - Developer Track : Topics that deal with software development
in the Fedora environment.
Track 3 - Application Track : Either topics that deal with
applications/uses of Fedora in other Open Source projects or topics that
showcase a specific Open Source application.
To be considered for presentation, abstracts should be submitted
fudcon-cfp(a)fedoraproject.org by no later than Thursday February 23, at
11:59pm. We welcome submission from both developers and community
members alike, new and old.

Fedora and iMac G5
by Zoltan Kota
Hi,
I have installed FC4 on an iMac G5 (17" screen) machine. I'm really happy
that it is usable (with some restrictions). I'm trying to follow the
updates and improvements. Still, there are some issues to be
fixed/improved however.
Is there any progress regarding the snd-powermac problem? The latest
kernel update (2.6.15-1.1830_FC4) doesn't help on this problem. But the
fans seemed to stop to buzz so loud with these updates.
Is there/will be any chance to use the screen with a resolution higher
than 1024x768? Under MacOSX the normal resolution is 1440x900.

OK, time to make a status report:
1) The install seemed to go without a hitch.
2) I have 2 internal SATA drives and Fedora Core 4 Pegasos (PPC) is
installed on #1.
3) First boot went fine in the beginning:
a) When it was time to include extra install CDs, the system could
not find a CD-ROM.
b) Created user account and password.
c) At prompt screen for loging into the system, I got a blinking
cursor, but the mouse and keyboard were frozen.
I had to do a hard shutdown as the keyboard was frozen.
d) I still seem to have fan and thermal control problems.
4) Tried to boot into OS X at restart, but Fedora didn't setup
OpenFirmware properly and I couldn't boot into OS X. I had to restart
with the option key pressed down to call up the OF graphical
interface for choosing which drive to boot from.
Where do I go from here? Do I give up on my FC4 install and try a
Rawhide install or do I try to fix the issues with Fedora Core 4?
Cheers,
Brian

Sorry, I keep changing things around, but I am really getting
frustrated about not being able to get anything to work with any of
the distros. They all are acting worse than beta ware on my machine.
In my opinion, none of them should have been released before the
issues were sorted out. It doesn't make a good impression for total
newbies. Fortunately, I have had some experience with Linux, so I
know sometimes you need patience, but I still try to follow the ath
of least resistance and deal with the distro that is least bad :-)
Since my posting,I have gone back to YDL 4.0.1 as it seems to work
best on my machine of all of the distros I have tried. Even though I
have a thing for .deb based distros, I am basically a pragmatist at
heart and since YDL works best for me, that is where I will
concentrate my effort on getting things sorted out. Maybe I can be
convinced to love an .rpm based system as well. Who knows? Time will
tell. Hopefully since it has Fedora Core as its base, this won't be
considered off topic for the list. Except for installing Danish
language support, my YDL install is a default desktop install. Here
are some pretty fundamental issues that I can't seem to get around:
1) I can start a root session, but YDL doesn't recognize the root
password when I try to do a command like:
$ su tail -f /var/log/messages [ENTER]
$ sudo tail -f /var/log/messages [ENTER]
$ root tail -f /var/log/messages [ENTER]
(This is when I am in a normal user session)
2) "yum check-update" returns something about some file missing in /
var/....

Yes, I have been thinking about that as well, but to tell you the
truth, I would like to get a boxed version shipped. I would like to
have a manual in my hand to refer to when I am puzzling over a
solution. I like to relax in a sofa and study the matter before I go
back to my desk :-) I'll have to see if Terrasoft can handle a
shipment to Denmark. They have a partner in Germany, but as I don't
read German...
For now, I am going to concentrate on getting 4.0.1 to work and then
see where I go from there :-)

Hmm. Interesting, but short lived experience. I booted into the
Fedora Core 4 PPC install CD, verified the disk and went to the start
of the install procedure. When I got to choosing the keyboard, I got
the following error message:
"The partition's data region doesn't occupy the entire partition."
Then:
"Attempt to read sectors 16-18 outside of partition on /dev/sdb"
Then:
"The partition's data region doesn't occupy the entire partition."
Then:
"Attempt to read sectors 16-18 outside of partition on /dev/sdc"
I kept pressing "ignore" and then finally got to the partitioning
issue. The only choice that looked safe was to try a manual partition
as you are not allowed to choose which drive to automatically
partition (!!!!???). I started to add partitions to "sdb" which is
the drive I want to install Linux on, but then all of a sudden the
kernel bonked out and the system did an emergency exit.
I tried once again on a reboot. This time, all of the places where
choices are made "back", "next" or "select" something were all
flashing in rotation. I got as far as the partition dialog, again
with the same errors, but I didn't dare to go any further, as it was
unclear as to what drives were going to get partitioned :-( (I should
mention that this is the same in YDL.) Very unfortunate interface on
this issue.
