Wireless NIC USB Troubles Take 2
by jim jim 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

You can see this is making me dingy by the last message or 2 I have sent. Must be that until I get this fixed I am stuck with Windose. Strange things going on. Installation of Suse 9.3 Everthing works great except cannot get on the internet. Used Yast to configure USB Wireless NIC. Made the choices in the Suse help. Wireless, USB, DHCP, ESSID, Channel, etc. Ended up with a device wlan0. I can put it up with ifconfig so it exists. It is in the proc filesystem and correctly identified but I can't talk to the network with it. I have overlooked something really obvious I know, so all comments welcome. Maybe a route command or something? Do you still need this? It should pick this up from DHCP it is configured to be a client. Is there something special about wireless that I missed. It has been so long since I had a NIC problem I don't remember the process. It works on Windose or I would not be able to send this email. Rescue me. ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

usb-wireless nic troubles
by jim jim 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

I have just installed 9.4 and cannot get the network to work. The system sees the card. I can see the lights blink. Configured it with Yast as per the help page. I can bring it up with ifconfig but can't talk to it. Shows up on the proc filesystem and correctly identifies the card. I must have missed something somewhere. Just can't think of it. Got to be too obvious. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

RE: [opensuse] Problems with wireless devices?
by Christopher S. Arnold 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

I too am unable to get this to work on 2 laptops: dell latitude D600 and ibm t42. I tried to use the ipw2100 rpm from Suse 9.3. This installed with no problems but was not able to ping internal or external. I use 128bit static wep hex. Also use MAC authentication and both laptops MAC address is registered with my AP. I can right click kinternet->wireless connection then click scan tab->start scan; enter in the 128bit hex key and click connect and will always say "authenticated successfully" but can not ping anything internal or external. Anybody gotten the wireless to work.

Problem DDNS + DHCP in SuSE 9.3 not response any dhcp request from client.
by Arie Reynaldi Z 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

Hi, I already had working dhcpd server in suse 9.1, and now I want to replace with another server that running SuSE 9.3. And now I got a problem, it seems my suse 9.3 server didn't response any DHCP connection from client, it work in previous suse 9.1... :( I have genDDNS.sh to make named.key and add it to /etc/sysconfic/named and /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd. I also have add bootps in /etc/sysconfic/SuSEfirewall (which it's never add in suse 9.1) Before I run it, I have turn off my dhcpd-server in suse 9.1. Why my server didnt response dhcp client ? Anyway here's my named.conf options { directory "/var/lib/named"; dump-file "/var/log/named_dump.db"; statistics-file "/var/log/named.stats"; listen-on-v6 { any; }; allow-query { 127.0.0.1 ; 192.127.0.0/24; 202.152.21.234; }; notify no; forwarders {192.127.0.1;}; }; #include "/etc/rndc.key"; #include "/etc/named.keys"; controls { inet 127.0.0.1 allow {localhost;} keys {rndc-key;}; }; zone "." in { type hint; file "root.hint"; }; zone "localhost" in { type master; file "localhost.zone"; }; zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" in { type master; file "127.0.0.zone"; }; include "/etc/named.conf.include"; zone "fsi.info" in { type master; file "dyn/fsi.info"; allow-update { key DHCP_UPDATER; }; }; zone "0.127.192.in-addr.arpa" in { type master; file "dyn/0.127.192.in-addr.arpa"; allow-update { key DHCP_UPDATER; }; And here's my DHCPD.CONF ddns-update-style interim; ddns-updates on; one-lease-per-client true; ignore client-updates; include "/etc/named.keys"; include "/etc/rndc.key"; subnet 192.127.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option routers 192.127.0.1; option broadcast-address 192.127.0.255; option domain-name "fsi.info"; option domain-name-servers 192.127.0.7; option netbios-name-servers 192.127.0.1; ddns-domainname "fsi.info"; ddns-rev-domainname "0.127.192.in-addr.arpa"; range dynamic-bootp 192.127.0.180 192.127.0.254; default-lease-time 21600; max-lease-time 86400; zone fsi.info. {primary 127.0.0.1; key DHCP_UPDATER;} zone 0.127.192.in-addr.arpa. {primary 127.0.0.1; key DHCP_UPDATER;} } #max-lease-time 172800; #host back1 { hardware ethernet 00:60:97:63:1b:68; fixed-address 192.127.0.18; } host printer1 { hardware ethernet 00:10:83:93:2c:87; fixed-address 192.127.0.205; } host printer2 { hardware ethernet 00:01:e6:5a:94:a6; fixed-address 192.127.0.206; } host maindata { hardware ethernet 00:08:02:8B:1B:57; fixed-address 192.127.0.210; } host receptionits { hardware ethernet 00:e0:7d:95:29:ed; fixed-address 192.127.1.123;} And here's /var/lib/named/dyn -rw------- 1 named named 172 Aug 11 14:13 0.127.192.in-addr.arpa -rw-r--r-- 1 named named 172 Aug 11 14:11 0.127.192.in-addr.arpa-1 -rw------- 1 named named 193 Aug 11 14:13 fsi.info -rw-r--r-- 1 named named 194 Aug 11 14:11 fsi.info-1 -- Arie Reynaldi Zanahar reymanx at gmail.com http://www.reynaldi.or.id

After using man, how to return to the shell prompt?
by Shriramana Sharma 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

After using a man command, (I recently read up on man mount) how do I get back to the shell prompt? I tried ESC, but most intelligently it just parrots my key - says "ESC" and does nothing else. Ctrl+F4 completely closes the Konsole window. Thanks in advance... -- Shriramana Sharma http://samvit.org

No, that sounds like another bug: http://opensuse.org/index.php/Bugs:most_annoying_bugs Installation on secondary hard drive can cause the system to be unbootable.
