[opensuse] Installing additional serial ports
by Stan Goodman 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

I have a PCI card with two serial ports. Apparently openSuSE recognizes them, but I need to mount them explicitly. I want them to be mounted at boot. Of the three ports, I want one to be for a UPS, and another for a fax modem. # dmesg | grep tty serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A 00:08: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A 0000:06:03.0: ttyS1 at I/O 0xb800 (irq = 19) is a ST16650V2 0000:06:03.0: ttyS2 at I/O 0xb400 (irq = 19) is a ST16650V2 # I wish I could say that I understand the man page on dmesg, but it is my understanding that the above is information about the presence of recognized hardware, and that the ports are not configured or operational. ttyS0 is, of course, the onboard port, and the other two are those on the PCI card. # setserial -g /dev/ttyS[01] /dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 /dev/ttyS1, UART: 16650V2, Port: 0xb800, IRQ: 19 # setserial -g /dev/ttyS[02] /dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 /dev/ttyS2, UART: 16650V2, Port: 0xb400, IRQ: 19 # Again, the man page for setserial is not sufficiently clear for me to understand how to use this command. For example, man describes what should happen when the -g switch is omitted; when I run the command without the switch I am told only "Invalid flag". What I want is to list these ports in fstab, so that the ports are available upon boot. A few hints would be greatly appreciated. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Madwifi
by Joseph Loo 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

I am using the aetheros chipsset, i.e., using the madwifi. Under the latest update, the new kernel, 2.26.18 removes the madwifi rpm from the system. Does anyone know if they are going to update the madwifi repository or will I have to compile the source? -- Joseph Loo jloo(a)acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I'll be in Vista you STILL SEE the access point....that is you can see the MAC address. Then, all you have to do is "click" on that address and tell Vista to connect.....it will ask for the SSID etc. and you're in. The point is, you CAN SEE the access point.

Can anyone tell me what the above message means when I try to mount a USB disk drive? This is recent as I used to have no problems with usb disks. I think it was the last update I done on Suse 10.2.

[opensuse] New Dell...Inspiron 1525!
by Fred A. Miller 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

I installed 10.3 64-bit on the new Dell a few days ago after first looking at Vista as it was already installed on it. Yes, I complained about having to pay for it but that didn't do any good. openSUSE 64-bit does run much faster than Vista....there's NO doubt about that!! I ordered it with an HD glossy monitor....very nice, sharp, and 3D is supported on the Intel chipset. I have wifi working with the Intel 3945 card that I ordered with it......sees hidden access points! However, it's evident that there are some things that MUST be improved in the Linux software for those of us who have to access hidden access points. First, KNetworkmanager is useless if the access point is hidden, so you have to use Yast to setup each time you switch to a different access point. Kwifimanager might work, except it doesn't support WAP and without WAP there's no AES. This is ignorant, at best. wifi isn't all that secure anyway, but at least support the best tools available! The only pieces of hardware that aren't seen by the system is the 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller from the Marvell Technology Group Ltd., and the built-in webcam. I don't know if there's any support for the Marvell chipset or not, but if there isn't, there had better be soon, as it's a gig. type NIC that's in very wide use! The webcam isn't that important right now, but I'd still like to be able to set it up for use. Fred -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

RE: [opensuse] running out of IP addresses for DHCP

>Would this work if I used 192.168.50./23 to give me a range from >192.168.50.0 to 192.168.53.0? No. It would give you 192.168.50.0 to 192.168.51.255. Using a /22 would give you 192.168.48.0 to 192.168.51.255. >Increasing the range from 254 addresses to 510 >addresses would work for me. > >Again, many thanks. This is a great list. Plan for future expansion. You can set up the DHCP netblock with the entire 192.168.0.0/16 allocation but only specify individual /24s or /23s. That way, when you start running out again, you can add another range within that allocation with ease. Using this, very little changes with your present setup. All you need to do is un-comment a range and reload/restart the DHCP daemon for the allocation to become active. ~~~~~ Thank you David. Would the following suffice? This should add the extra address I'll need. shared-network MY_DOMAIN { subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 { default-lease-time 259200; option routers 192.168.2.1; option subnet-mask 255.255.0.0; option broadcast-address 192.168.255.255; option domain-name "mydomain.com"; option domain-name-servers 192.168.2.2; option netbios-name-servers 192.168.2.2; option ntp-servers 192.168.2.2; option time-offset -28800; range dynamic-bootp 192.168.50.0 192.168.53.255; } Thanks again, ~James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
