laptop into access point?
by Mark Greenbank
Hello, I'm looking for a HOW TO that describes how to turn my laptop (Fedora
Core 5, yes I know it's old) into a wireless access point. Does anyone have
some references?
Thanks,

F8 drivers for ASUS EeePC??
by Beartooth Sciurivore
Having bought an ASUS EeePC (4 GB version), I soon discovered its
native OS, Xandros, far more Windowy than I could stomach. So I tried
several others, and had various troubles.
Having eventually discovered the Redhat Magazine discussion,
entitled "Fedora + Eee PC = Eeedora" -- which is at http://
www.redhatmagazine.com/2008/02/14/fedora-eee-pc-eeedora/#comment-55444 --
I of course tried F8.
At present both F8 and Puppy 3.01eee are installed, booting, and
running; but only the Puppy (from a USB stick, fwiw) can connect to the
Net. Fedora fails, both wirelessly and with an ethernet cable.
To judge from much discussion of these and other attempts, the
likeliest problem seems to be drivers, for eth0 and ath0.
Compiling is beyond me. Does anyone know if any pre-compiled
drivers for F8 for this machine are available anywhere?

Problem with hard drive lock out
by Mark LaPierre
Hey All,
I'm having a vexing problem with FC8 losing connection to one of my
hard drives. I've had it drop out in a matter of a few minutes. This
time it was working for several days before it quit.
I have two drives on my system. One SATA drive has the system
installed on it. The other, plugged into the IDE header has data files
on it. The SATA drive runs fine. The IDE drive will eventually quit
working. I can cd onto the drive as long as I don't try to access
something that is not already in the disk cache. When I try to access
the drive I get this error:
[mlapier@mushroom mlapier]$ cd /sdb1
[mlapier@mushroom sdb1]$ cd mlapier
[mlapier@mushroom mlapier]$ cd mail
[mlapier@mushroom mail]$ cd MYDIR
[mlapier@mushroom MYDIR]$ ls
ls: reading directory .: Input/output error
[mlapier@mushroom piano]$ cd /sdb2
[mlapier@mushroom sdb2]$ cd piano
[mlapier@mushroom piano]$ ls
ls: reading directory .: Input/output error
There are two partitions mounted thus:
drwxrwxrwx 16 root users 4096 2007-12-29 12:56 sdb1
drwxrwxrwx 49 root users 4096 2008-01-06 22:48 sdb2
[mlapier@mushroom etc]$ cat fstab
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults > 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /sdb1 ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/sdb2 /sdb2 ext2 defaults 1 2
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults > 0 0
[mlapier@mushroom etc]$ uname -a
Linux mushroom.patch 2.6.23.15-137.fc8 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 17:03:13 EST
2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I've been running Linux for many years on many boxes but I've never
encountered a situation like this. The only way I've found to restore
operation is a to reboot.
Anyone got any clues??

Sharing /var between systems
by Timothy Murphy
I have Fedora-7 and Fedora-8 on the same computer.
Can I share /var between them?
(I have the Fedora-7 /var on a separate partition.
If possible, I'd like to use this with the new system.)
Any suggestions gratefully received.

Sound works but panel volume control doesn't
by Chris G
New Fedora 8 installation.
My sound works, i.e. if I go to System-Administration-Sound Card
Detection and click on Sound test I get music out of the speakers.
The sound card is an Intel 82801H using module snd-hda-intel.
However the volume control just says "No volume control GStreamer
plugins and/or devies found".
I have gstreamer installed.

Treo USB no longer creating ttyUSB[01] devices???
by Mark C. Allman
OK, something else that's broken in F8.
At some point in the past when we'd plug in a Treo 700p USB cable to
hotsync (which occasionally actually worked), devices /dev/ttyUSB0
and /dev/ttyUSB1 were created to access the phone. Now when I plug it
in I only see lines like:
Feb 23 15:35:26 prez kernel: usb 3-1: new full speed USB device
using uhci_hcd and address 3
Feb 23 15:35:26 prez kernel: usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from
1 choice
When I plug in my Verizon broadband wireless USB modem I see ttyUSB0 and
ttyUSB1 created, but no longer for the Treo.
Any ideas/hints on why the tty devices are no longer created?
