I would be thankful for answers to some questions: about wireless cards
1) Re: Wireless Ethernet Cards for Desktops.
How does one get Linux to recognize an ethernet card (e.g. a wireless card)
that is not on the list of supported cards shown by YAST2?
2) Re: Installing a PCMCIA card onto a Desktop.
I understand that one can install a wireless PCMCIA ethernet card in a
desktop with the appropriate PCI card. Is there any problem with Linux's
recognizing the card under these circumstances?
Under Linux 8.0, is there any problem with recognition and use of a wireless
PCMCIA? I read the relevant HowTo, but that installed under Debian and I
think (guess) an older kernel.
Thanks

Hi all,
I have just tried to access my USB 250 Zip drive in SUSE 7.3 Pro, only to
receive the following message:
"Could not mount device. The reported error was mount /dev/sda4: unknown
device."
I have checked and ziptool is installed, I have a Zip icon on my desktop, but
obviously, something needs to be configured somewhere.
I read /usr/share/doc/packages/ziptool/README, but there wasn't any help as
far as I could decipher. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Brian
Hi,
Last night i posted message asking on help to aviod my system shutdown
by it self.
Well put statement suggested in lilo.con in the appriate localtion
suggested but jut know the system in question just power off again for
no good reason.
I am running SuSe 7.1 Kernel 2.4.13 Mantel RPM.
512 MB RAM
10 GB (ReiserFS / ext2 /boot)
Matorx Millimum 2 MB (It's work machine )
D-Link 538 TX+ 10/100 MB
What noticed this occurs when memory drop below 350 MB the system
shutdown when i am going in to X/Gnome.
What i find strange is i am running RH 7.1 + Kernel 2.4.13 Kernel.org
with exact same MB/RAM/HD/NIC etc.. and all it well with it.
I have had this problems since kernel 2.4.0 .
I have checked RAM with memtest and it check out i have switched ram
from RH 7.1 Box with this one done memory test as well it check out but
still occurs.
I have always love SuSe but seriously thinking of calling it quit's with
this distro.
I never any problems with other distro/kernels acting like this.
Any ideas :)
Alex :)
I upgraded my system and along with the new board, processor, memory,
and all that I bought a 30 gig hard drive. I could not get fdisk to see
more than 7.9 gigs of it, even though I did all the standard things like
flash the bios, use the installation diskette from the manufacturer,
etc.
The only way I was able to partition the drive was to use the Windows 95
fdisk, with all its limitations including the one from marketing which
limits to one primary partition per drive. Eventually I partitioned a
15 gig primary and a 15 gig extended, then changed the type, formatted
and gave mount points in YaST. Now there is a 15 gig primary, a Windows
extended, with a Linux logical as the only partition there.
Cripes. Is there a better way?

I have been having very annoying problems trying to play audio CDs. I
am using SuSE 6.2 and have compiled OSS and SB16 drivers into my kernel
(2.2.14pre15)
I can play mp3's fine but not CDs
I have tried using a mixer to mute and then un-mute the CD player - to
no effect
I have used different CD playing software, cdp and workman. Neither
worked. The CD is read and actually played by both aps but no sound
comes out of the speakers. I used to be able to play CDs back in the
days of Win32 (ugh) - so I knwo that it is possible.
Can anyone suggest anything?

I just plugged some headphones into the cdrom and I can certainly hear
the funky tunes pouring out of the cd player but nothing gets to the
speakers...
the little grey cable that connects the audio out to the soudn card is
well and truly ther and it works fine under Win32 as I said...
hope this helps to solve the prob..

Hi all
When I try to recompile the kernel I get a message saying the clock is
skewed and the build may not work. What does this mean and how can I
fix it ?
I am running SuSe 6.1 with kernel 2.2.5.
Thanks

Hi, everybody
I'm new to Linux. Installed SuSE a couple of weeks ago and now trying to
get some functionality.
I have trouble setting up call-back (SuSe 6.1<---> ISP's NT Server 4.0)
with optional number (fixed as well).
Tried to use wvdial, but with no success (it dials OK, but then seems
like doesn't know what to do next). Can it do the trick? I feel that
maybe some scripting could help me. Could anybody provide me with
necessary directions (or direct to the information) for making a
flexible script and what software I need installed or some other
approach? (I've read PPP-HOWTO but don't know if the information it
contains applicable to current SuSE version; it doesn't say anything
about wvdial).
One more thing. Is it necessary to set the proper values in
"resolv.conf" and host.conf? Some other files?
I actually tried to find the answer and found a sample ppp.conf with
brief instructions on settings (from Free-BSD as I remember), but can I
use it with SuSE 6.1 and how?
Any help will be greatly appreciated (tired from constant W$ + Netscape
crashes)
