Netgear GA311 (RealTek 8169 chipset) PCI network card and fc5
by Greg Frith 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

Hi, I'm setting up a reasonably old PC with FC5 to use primarily as a test server for web development. A few days ago i installed FC5 and spent 2 days trying to configure a wireless network card. Having finally compiled the kernel with the additional drivers for the wireless card i got it up and running and everything was fine. The box was hidden away in a corner (where my partner couldn't see it) and all was good. This morning however the hard disk went in the machine, so i had to purchase a new disk and start all over again. So my present situation: Not wanting to go through the pane of setting up a wireless card again, i thought I'd save myself a great deal of hassle and put a standard wired ethernet card in. So i did, a Netgear GA311 which i believe uses the Realtek 8169 chip set. I'd already checked online and everyone reported this card as working hassle free under fedora. But not for me. On boot I see the message: r8169 device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialisation I get the same message if i do ifup eth0. ifconfig -a does not list eth0. Using the GUI tool Network Manager the device can be seen under hardware. So the network card not working is the first problem, any thoughts gratefully received. In order to try and fix this i have downloaded linux drivers from the Realtek site. To install i need the kernel source, so i also downloaded kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.i686.rpm. When i try to install this rpm i get: -> rpm -Uvh kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.i686.rpm error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES. Any thoughts? Many thanks, Greg.

Change in YUM with recent update
by Jeff Vian 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

I am not sure when it happened, but at sometime within the last 2-3 weeks the display when doing a yum update/install/etc from CLI has changed. In the past, when yum was downloading packages the progress was all shown on a single line, and a new line was created only when the package name changed. Now it gets a new line for each progress update [1] as seen from an update done today. I checked and there have been no yum updates in some time, so I do not know which program is at fault here. Has anyone else noted this? Do you have any ideas on what the culprit likely is? I noted this update [2] that sounds suspicious, but I thought yum used python and not perl. I also see that PIL was installed and python-imaging and python-numeric were erased on 9/15 with my update.[3] Is it likely that an update to python broke a borked call from yum that had taken advantage of a weakness which was tightened up in the python update?

Pix Firewall Monitoring Software on Linux
by ankush grover 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

hey friends, I am looking for a free open source software (web based or application) through which I can monitor the Pix Firewall. What it should show Interface status or traffic , VPN Connectivity status, CPU Status, Memory Status etc. I am also running DHCP server on Pix Firewall (due to some reasons) If it can monitor that also means showing how many IPAddresses has been assigned, to whom, what is the lease time etc. then it will be very good. I know about cacti but for VPN Connectivity status one has to use telnet which I don't want to use and I don't know about monitoring DHCP server through it. Is there any other tool through which I can monitor Pix Firewaall ? I am using FC3 & FC4. Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover

smart package mgr question?
by Gene Heskett 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

Greetings all; I just ran smart pkg mgr on my FC5 lappy, and any cups I click on claims it will downgrade 3 packages if I exec it. What the heck? Yumex doesn't seem to have that problem. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

FC4 has been transferred to Fedora Legacy but there's no OpenSSL update yet.

'kickstarting' a customised install
by Tom Brown 01 Oct '06

01 Oct '06

Hi Pardon the terminology here but is it possible to take an image of a currently installed system and then building another machine with exactly the same setup? A bit like dd'ing the install but having it so that the partitioning would be more dymanic if you built this image onto a bigger box or something? I ask as we have base kickstarts that we then have to 'build' into different types of systems, be it database, app etc so it would be really great to snapshot a current system and them deploying this out again. Is that possible or would it be suggested to add all the required packages etc in the post of the kickstart? thanks

Hello Folks!!! I've encountered some problem with my FC5..... After I've done some updates to it... so now its Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5).... When I restarted my laptop (Acer TravelMate 4602WLMi) the booting up process started as usual but suddenly it jumped to some blank window... with cross icon in middle and just stopped to response ... so what I need to do now? I just don't even know what is the problem.... Hope for some help. -- Best regards, Ivan mailto:bravo.elf@gmail.com
