2 out of 4 usb sockets work
by William Murray 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

Hello all, I am trying to understand a laptop with 4 USB ports, apparently identical, but all 4 work under windows and only 2 under F8. If I look in 'hwbrowser' I see 3 controllers, (2 UHCI and 1 EHCI I think) but no 'USB UHCI #n' entries like I expect. cat /proc/bus/usb/devices shows up 3 controllers, and the USB mouse I have plugged in. It ALSO shows a device "0baa 0158", which is somehow a Realtek disk (I don't think there IS one) but not "0bda 8187" (or is it 8189) that I think the wireless card should be registered as. Can anyone suggest how to debug this? Thank you, Bill Nb ACPI=off, NOAPIC were needed at boot time...

Lockup
by tony.chamberlain＠lemko.com 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

Someone from my company had the following question/situation: He ssh's to a remote site (to get there it is a 204.X.X.X address from the router, but the actual eth0 address is a 192.168.X.X addres once you get in). He logs in (via ssh) as root. He does a few things. He logs out, and then the system hangs until a reboot is done. This is about all the information he told me. Anyway he wants me to find out if anyone has had a similar situation or has any idea what is going on? It is using CentOS 4.5, and going through a router. Another thing. In addition to an ethernet driver, there is a driver for another card in the system, whose IP address is 80.9.130.1. Anytime someone does ifconfig or something similar it call a stats() function, and in /var/log/messages there are hunderds of log entries that this function was called (every 10 minutes). Anyone have any ideas?

kmod-fglrx issues

In a (mistaken!) attempt to cure some graphics issues with my F7 86_64 install I removed kmod-fglrx. This was obtained (some months ago now) from Livna. I foolishly thought I'd be able to uninstall then reinstall. Below is what happens. I've tried installing the dependencies individually and got nowhere. Ideas?

Thanks so much, that was definitely the place to start! A few additional changes on both sides and I am in business. ^_^ > Raven Brooke wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I am having some difficulty getting NFS to work on my Core 7 >> (2.6.22.1-33.fc7) box, wondering if I have missed something obvious.

Subject line says it all. I get the message during the boot process, but I do not notice any problem thereafter. Where do I start looking for circumvention? Leslie

Good to hear that someone has had success on this front. I, too, have been trying to get consistent WiFi results. I've been working with three different NICs, one USB, the other two PCMCIA. The one one with which I've been successful has been a Netgear WG111US Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter. However, its performance has been erratic. I can successfully connect to my WAP, work for a while, and then the connection drops. I notice that the device gets especially hot and am wondering if this is the cause for its eventual failure. Comments? On the PCMCIA front, I've been testing two cards: an old Linksys WPC111 (only 802.11b) and a Netgear WPNT511. WPC111: lcpci does not see the Linksys WPC111, but ifconfig -a does. I can assign a static IP to the WPC111 and use other commands to configure it to work with my WAP but I get no throughput. WPNT511: lscpi identifies the Netgear WPNT511, but ifconfig -a does not. I have used ndiswrapper to load the appropriate driver and my results are still the same. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 600m, btw. I have no problem getting a PCMCIA Netgear Ethernet card (Linksys EtherFast 10/100 Integrated CardBus PC Card PCM200B) to work, btw. W/o any droppoff. The built-in Ethernet on the Laptop failed. Apparently, other Inspiron 600m users have mentioned that the Ethernet port has high failure rates. As for wireless, some reviewes mention that the Dell Inspiron 600m has been shipped with Wifi, either Centrino or a mini PCI card bolted into one of the bays. This one appears to have neither. Or is there a tool/command for checking for onboard Centrino. Much thanks in advance for any replies. > Anyone have any suggestions? > > Thanks. > > > Max Pyziur pyz(a)brama.com

Updated Package Announcements Without Updated RPM Lists
by Brian G. Reid 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

Hello, None of the updated package announcements since January 27 have had the list of updated RPM packages within them. Was this an oversight or has there been some decision no longer to include the list of updated RPM's in package announcements? Take Care, Brian -- Brian Reid mailto:breid@customlogic.com CustomLogic LLC http://www.customlogic.com/ 11292 Coloma Road, Suite C Gold River, CALIFORNIA 95670
