[S.u.S.E. Linux] SuSE Linux
With all the discussion about 5.3 out and what is in the distributions..... Look at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Product/lx52/index.html#NEW"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Product/lx52/index.html#NEW</A">http://www.suse.com/Product/lx52/index.html#NEW</A</A>> and tell me that SuSE's track record doesn't have "meat & potatoes" upgrades in it's releases. Get out of the "cheese & cracker club" and stop whining. Let the good folks do what they do well and that is put out a whoppin good distribution. -Regards Dee W.D.McKinney (Dee) -=- deem@wdm.com No claim to fame, just saved by Grace. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
Where can I get more information how to make a PCMCIA internal modem working?? I've installed Suse 5.1 om my HP omnibook 5500 laptop and it works great. The only thing I can't mannage to get working is the modem. When duelboot and run NT the modem works ok, and when I boot Linux the cardmgr recognizes the card. but when I run minicom I cant get in conntact with the modem. Any clues or helpfull links?? Thanks in advance Michael -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

This is a shot in the dark: it may help, or not. I don't have SuSE installed on a laptop but I do have a Red Hat 4.1 (kernel 2.0.27) installed, and I have PCMCIA cards for ethernet and modem. I find the following for the ethernet card: 1. Boot from cold (i.e. switch on). The card is not recognised (i.e. is mis-recognised as a memory card). 2. Warm reboot (Ctrl-Alt-Del). This time the card is recognised as an ethernet card and all is OK. For the modem card: 1. Boot from cold (i.e. switch on). The card is not recognised (i.e. is mis-recognised as a memory card). 2. Warm reboot. This time the card is STILL not recognised. 3. Warm reboot yet again. This time the card is rcognised and (for instance) minicomm will run and I can dial out, etc. I don't know why this happens. I suspect it is a combination of modules not being loaded at the best moment during boot, and the cards requiring some sort of initialisation which is not complete by the time the OS looks for them. Anyway, be that as it may, do try the "repeated warm boot" trick and see if you eventually get there. If not, nothing lost! Best of luck.

You obviously must not be a native english speaker or you would have understood my previous post on this matter. For the record, SuSE always upgrades the meat and potatoes in their new distributions, I said that the challenge facing them was to include something new with each new distribution, not just the obligatory incremental upgrades. No one is a bigger proponent of SuSE linux than I am. I suggest you visit the mailing list archive at SuSE's website, you obviously haven't been following this discussion. W.D.McKinney wrote:

Get out of the "cheese & cracker club" and stop whining. Let the good folks do what they do well and that is put out a whoppin good distribution.
