Hi, I followed the SuSE HowTo to enable my AWE64, PnP. It seems to be awakened with pnpdump and isapnp after editing isapnp.conf file. But, when I try: > cat /dev/sndstat i get a msg like "operation not supported by the device" where is the error? (sound compiled as module with auto loading and so on...) is not there a definitive source to avoid asking alwys the same things or wandering on hundreds of howto abit uncomplete?

Re: [SLE] NIC - Device/Resource Busy?

the problem though is that, at least for the ISA D-LINK DE-220, i was able to compile this before using the ne option for NIC in my IBM Aptiva. yet, with my present installation of SuSE 6.2, i'm can't get it to work. the error i get on this NIC on my IBM Aptiva P120 is the same error i get on an ULTRA P200 with a PCI linksys LE100TX NIC. there seems to be something amiss in the way i'm configuring both NICs and it has me baffled. any help is greatly appreciated. ------------- -----Original Message----- From: Nadeem Hasan <nhasan(a)usa.net> To: Mac Q.

[SLE] A Thank you & more questions
by hatridge＠straubing.baynet.de 17 Jan '00

Hi All, First thanks to everyone who wrote to me about the Java question. I think I'm going to turn the programming job down, cause I've got other fish to fry. So on to first new question... I'm trying to connect two computers, one's fine. But the other can not find the network card. I've got a Linksys Ether 16 LAN card (it's a isa card). I first tryed the Ne2000 and got this error: Jan 17 10:30:04 Opus kernel: loading device 'eth0'... Jan 17 10:30:04 Opus kernel: ne.c: No PCI cards found. Use "io=0xNNN" value(s) for ISA cards. Then I tried ethernet express and got this error: Jan 17 11:37:03 Opus kernel: eexpress.c: Failed to register card at 0x300. Jan 17 11:37:03 Opus kernel: loading device 'eth0'... Jan 17 11:37:03 Opus kernel: eth0: EtherExpress at 0x300, rejected: invalid address 000000000000 Can anyone give me a clue on what I'm doing wrong? BTW the system is a 486/66 with 8mb ram and running SuSE 5.2... Next question... On my second computer I've got an Orchid Fahrenheit 64 Video card. It's a PCI card with 2mb ram. Does anyone else have it? Right now I'm running the Fahrenheit VA device with the SVGA server. My questions here are #1 there are 3 Fahrenheit devices but none say "64" how can I tell for sure which one is correct? #2 I believe that I should be using the S3 server instead of the SVGA server, but if I change it could anything happen to my montor, ie burn up? #3 I know the numbers for my montor and they are set. If I "play" with the devices and servers to get the best combo could I mess up my montor? BTW, this system is a 486/100 with 32mb running SuSE 5.2. TIA!!!

[SLE] NIC - Device/Resource Busy?
by mflores＠midway.uchicago.edu 17 Jan '00

17 Jan '00

i have 2 systems and i can't seem to get the NICs of these two working. the first one has a D-Link DE-220 (ISA). the ethernet-how-to lits this as being supported and suggests the ne module w/c i've compiled in the kernel. the second machine has a linksys LE100tx (PCI) which again the ethernet-how-to lists as being supported and suggests the tulip module. upon compilation of the kernels and "integration of the hardware into the system" using yast, i get the same errors "device or resource busy" during boot time then a final "eth0 is not an interface" error. my compilation routine is as follows (stock kernel 2.2.10, SuSE 6.2): make mrproper make xconfig make dep clean bzImage make modules make modules_install bzImage --> vmlinuz update System.map /sbin/lilo is there anything i'm forgetting? i understand it if i only get an error in one machine but since i get a similar error on both machines woth different NICs and computers, there seems to be something amiss in my configuration routine. any thoughts? mac -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

He probably has a so called 'software modem'. Under windoz a program does the neccessary calculations (coding/decoding, data compression error correction) and it doesn't have a common serial interface.

The Lucent LT PCI modem is supported very well with a lucent kernel module (binary only). It can be found at linmodems.org. It comes with an install script for redhat systems but it works with SuSE with the command insmod -f ltmodem. It is a rather large module but it works flawlessly on my laptop running SuSE 6.3.

[SLE] Dound problem
by schlicht＠chaffee.net 17 Jan '00

17 Jan '00

Hello: I've been running 6.3 with only minimal problems until last week. I did something while working on my desktop (using the distro version of KDE) which has disabled my sound output. If I use the KDE Control Center to set 'System Sound' and hit the Test Button, the sounds come out just fine, but when I return to the desktop and do one of the System Events (such as closing a window) which KDE Control Center has been "programmed" for, I get no sound at all. This has me baffled. Anyone have any ideas?
