snmpwalk? (related to hplip)
by Neal Becker 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

/usr/share/doc/hplip-2.7.7/troubleshooting/network.html says to test using snmpwalk. I can't find this on F8. yum provides snmpwalk ... No Matches found Any hints? Or, better still, any hint why hplip doesn't find my ethernet printer? (Yes, the printer works fine, and I can print to it).

Roadnav required library missing from x86_64 F8
by Gene Heskett 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Specifically: libexpat.so.0()(64bit) Or at least this is what the attempted install of roadnav-0.19-1.f7.x86_64.rpm claims. There is no x86_64 download yet for F8 on the roadnav site. Message left for the author, but it looks like he's gone on to other things according to his site. I did a file against the libexpat.so.1.5.2 that was installed and linked to libexpat.so.1, (this was a clean the disk install folks) and it claims to be a 32 bit file. WTH? Am I going to have to blow this install away and put the i386 back in to get a library compatible with a 32 bit version of roadnav? Or is it possible that the libexpat src rpm might build on x86_64? I've not had that great a luck doing those operations over the years, its almost easier for me to package things with checkinstall. Thanks for any help on this. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Cannot Change essid using iwconfig
by Rick Bilonick 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

I know the bcm4318 mini pci wifi card works in my Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop - I had installed a hard drive with Fedora 8 (installed on a different laptop) and I had no trouble using ndiswrapper and getting the wireless nic to work perfectly. Now I've put the original hard drive (that had Fedora 6 working with the same wireless nic) back in, installed Fedora 8 (destroying all of the original data on the disk). I've installed the same kernel, ndiswrapper, kernel modules, etc. that is on the other hard drive with Fedora 8, went through the same process but cannot get the wireless nic with the new Fedora 8 to work. Surely, it can't be the hard drive (the laptop connects to the wired eth0 connection). If I put the other hard drive in with Fedora 8, the bcm4318 connects to the wireless network. I've blacklisted bcm43xx, b43, and ssb (not sure ssb needs to be blacklisted or even can be blacklisted). I can get the nic to scan: [root@localhost ~]# iwlist wlan0 scan wlan0 Scan completed : Cell 01 - Address: 00:18:E7:0B:50:B0 ESSID:"default" Protocol:IEEE 802.11g Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11) Quality:50/100 Signal level:-64 dBm Noise level:-96 dBm Encryption key:on Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s 9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s 48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s Extra:bcn_int=100 Extra:atim=0 [root@localhost ~]# ndiswrapper reports: [root@localhost ~]# ndiswrapper -l bcmwl5 : driver installed device (14E4:4318) present (alternate driver: ssb) I'm not sure what ssb is but when the other drive was it, I received the same message and the nic connected to the wireless network. dmesg reports: ndiswrapper version 1.48 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no) ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5 (Broadcom,12/22/2004, 3.100.46.0) loaded ndiswrapper: using IRQ 1 (see below) wlan0: ethernet device 00:14:a5:09:f5:28 using NDIS driver: bcmwl5, version: 0x3642e00, NDIS version: 0x501, vendor: 'NDIS Network Adapter', 14E4:4318.5.conf wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP; TKIP with WPA, WPA2, WPA2PSK; AES/CCMP with WPA, WPA2, WPA2PSK usbcore: registered new interface driver ndiswrapper modprobe reports: [root@localhost ~]# modprobe -l | grep ndiswrapper /lib/modules/2.6.23.9-85.fc8/extra/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko lspci reports: [root@localhost ~]# lspci | grep BCM 02:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) If I try to manually configure the nic using iwconfig, I can set the key but I CANNOT get it to set the essid: [root@localhost ~]# iwconfig wlan0 essid default [root@localhost ~]# iwconfig wlan0 wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power:25 dBm RTS thr:2347 B Fragment thr:2346 B Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 (iwconfig will set the key, but I'm not showing the key info.) When I use dhclient to obtain a lease, it tells me no leases were offered (even though the other laptop is connected to the wireless network and I've had them both wirelessly connected at the same time when using Fedora 6 on the Dell). I cannot figure out why iwconfig cannot set the essid. What else can I check? Any ideas on what is wrong or how to fix this? (I've tried the "native" driver for the bcm4318 but it just will not work.) Rick B. P.S.

hp officejet 6310
by Neal Becker 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Just got my hp officejet 6310. Doesn't show up as a choice on F8 (with all current updates). I picked officejet 6300, seems to work. Is there an update or does it really matter?

Ralink 2500 chipset based pcmcia wireless card
by Ivan Virgili 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

I have just got hold of a GIGABYTE WMKG Wireless Notebook PCMCIA Adapter. I installed the Ralink firmware on F8, restarted my laptop and the card was recognised and started working immediately. I now have got the following problems (one is really minor): - the card is set to 1 Mb/s when the computer starts and I have to manually run "iwconfig wlan1 rate 54M" to get the full speed. How can set that permanently? Which file do I need to work on? I had a look around (Google, my Fedora installation, etc.), but I did not find a solution. - the network adapter shows the power led always on (fine), but the link led does not flash. It does work, because it goes on for one split of a second when the card is "started". This is not a huge issue, but I would like to figure out how to make it work. Thank you, Ivan -- Ivan Virgili GNU/Linux user #292882

fc7 packages in fc8 Everything
by Martin Marques 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Why is it that there are .fc7 packages in the fc8 Everything repositories? I found out installing pygame, but looking at http://mirrors.vexs.net/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/x86_64/os/Pa… (others are the same) I found a lot of fc7 packages. Shouldn't they all be fc8? BTW, after upgrading Fedora 7 to 8 I have a lot of .fc7 packages installed, and I want to know if it's OK.

fedora 8 unknown process "exe"
by Joshua Andrews 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Hi Just curious about a process that shows up in top as exe--it uses a fair amount of processor time and killing it does not seem to effect anything. I am wondering what it is-and where it is. `ps auxwwf` does not list anything named exe. Thanks - Joshua
