SPAM: USB 2.0 acting as 1.x
by Martin Mielke 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

Hi all, for some strange reason I still don't know, the USB 2.0 ports on my PC are acting as USB 1.x when connecting a USB 2.0 memory-stick... as you can imagine, transfering large amounts (up to 1 GB) of data take ages... specially when writting to the mem-stick; reading is much faster (as usual). So, obvious questions are: should I configure something somewhere? shouldn't it happen automatically? If you need some dump from a log file, just let me know. Thanks in advance! Best regards, Martin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Hi, There's been so much talk about the update process of 10.1 that I'm somewhat confused. Can anybody point me to the most recent wiki or something similar that describes this process. Thanks Marius

[opensuse] WiFi card slow to start
by Thierry de Coulon 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

Hello, I'm stuck with a problem. I've got a PCI WiFi card (using the rt61 chip) in a machine runing SuSE 9.3. I've managed to instal the driver and configure the /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat file - although I may have made some mistake there, teh docs are not very clear. The point is: interface ra0 is there. However, if I do an iwconfig, I get this: RT61 Wireless ESSID "" (no access point) ... blablabla... So I have no connection. The ssid name is given both in the rt61sta.dat file and in Yast, although YAST insists on configuring wlan0... Basically, getting online is not difficult: "iwconfig ra0 essid any", and everything works. The problem is that this machine is meant to be installed in a place where other people can use it. They will *not* be Linux specialists and I do *not* want to give away the root password, so I have to find a way to run this command (or anything that brings the same result) at boot. I tried a command in boot.local, but it fails because device is "down". I also tried a script in /etc/rc.d/rcS.d but to no avail. Maybe someone who knows better than I do has an idea. Is it possible to give users the right to execulte just one command (iwconfig)?

[SLE] How to redired outside http address to local box?
by Roland Turcan - RoTurSoft 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

Hello all, I have (maybe) very stupid question. I need to simulate our company server on my SuSE 9.2 box, because: 1. I don't want to change public server content 2. I don't have access to that server 3. I need to test my software, which on the end will use addresses from our company server to download something, but I need to simulate various situations and the easiest would by on local box. How to do that? Thanks.

Mates: Have you ever seen anything like this??? It looks like something or some bit of memory got really weird and pissed off. Server lived another 5 minutes then died. A reboot fixed it.
