Hi all, I'm trying to connect between two notebooks using it's wireless. Someone told me to set the wireless to 'adhoc' mode. But, I don't think I can make it work, yet. Both are Opensuse10.2 and SLED 10 respectively. Any help is really appreciated.

by Gordon Ross 17 Mar '07

I've got a Dell D820 laptop, which has a Dell1390 WLAN card. However I can't get it to work. lspci shows: 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card (rev 01) I've tried both methods listed at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Broadcom_(BCM4306)_WLAN_Installation_under_SUSE but neither gives me an extra interface (as listed by "ifconfig -a") Can someone give me some pointers ?

[opensuse] Does anyhave has the NVidia RIVA TNT2 Model 64 working on opensuse-10.2?
by Richard Bos 17 Mar '07

17 Mar '07

The subject basically says it all: Does anyhave has the NVidia RIVA TNT2 Model 64 working on opensuse-10.2? If yes how did you do it? I followed some howto's and the last helped me the most, which is this one: http://en.opensuse.org/NVIDIA The build starts, but the compile fails with: ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module. ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. The message above is taken from the /var/log/nvidia-installer.log file. The last compile line there is: /nv/os-interface.c:26: include2/asm/io.h: In function ‘check_signature’: include2/asm/io.h:245: warning: wrong type argument to increment /tmp/selfgz8535/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg0/usr/src/nv/os-interface.c: In function ‘os_set_mlock_capability’: /tmp/selfgz8535/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg0/usr/src/nv/os-interface.c:126 2: error: ‘struct task_struct’ has no member named ‘rlim’ make[4]: *** [/tmp/selfgz8535/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg0/usr/src/nv/os-i nterface.o] Fout 1 make[3]: *** [_module_/tmp/selfgz8535/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg0/usr/src /nv] Fout 2 make[2]: *** [modules] Fout 2 NVIDIA: left KBUILD. nvidia.ko failed to build! make[1]: *** [module] Fout 1 make: *** [module] Fout 2 -> Error. The files /tmp/self* are removed after the build. Does anyone know what is wrong?

[opensuse] eth<from hell> , just getting new eth assignments on new cards, want to just virgin it!
by tleslie 17 Mar '07

17 Mar '07

i cloned a linux flash appliance (fw/vpn) and when i put the flash cart. in the new system, which is identical except for the mac address on the net cards, the linux then labels eth3 eth4 eth5 the net ports, and i move it to another machine and then its eth6 eth7 eth8 i'd like it to just go virgin again and label them eth0 eth1 eth2 I am grep'ing all over the place for the mac numbers of the new and old interfaces, assuming that somewhere linux has stored these, and when it find new interfaces it is indexing the eth?? under the assumption maybe someone is plugging cards in and out and one doesnt want to lose old ip/mac assignments or soemthing. anyone know where linux keeps MAC id's ? I am using openSUSE10.1 but if someone has a similar story and fix for any other version, it would probably be useful. I can deal with the new assignments if i have to , but i have configs in OpenSwan (klips) that ref the eth##'s and in general for this cloning to be as effortless as possible, i'd like the install to forget about the old Mac address of interfaces it will never see again. -tl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] K3B I/O Errors

17 Mar '07

OS: SuSE 10.0 I have an intermittent problem with K3B failing with an I/O error shortly after starting the burn.

[opensuse] How to get wine to use DVD/CD drive?
by Adam Jimerson 17 Mar '07

17 Mar '07

I am using wine to run DVD Shrink and when I tell it to open the DVD so it can back it up it does not list my DVD drive. I looked all around the DVD Shrink settings and could not find a way to set it there so I was wondering is there a way to get wine to make the windows apps it run read a CD/DVD drive like windows does so they can be used? Lets say I go into winecfg and in the Drives menu I add a drive letter D and link it to /media/ would that do the trick or is there something else I need to do? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
