Re: [SLE] SuSE 7.1 install on Toshiba Tecra 8000 Laptop
Hello James, About your comments on OSS...
On my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4270, 7.1 automatically detected it fine (Yamaha YMF-744B). Previous versions did not. I went and bought OSS commercial from http://www.opensound.com/ which is really good. Their support is fantastic. I made one support request over a year ago for my Turtle Beach Montgo and got a good human reply within 20 minutes.
Ok, I can try OSS. I am wondering how does it integrate with Alsa tools and yast2?
For the ethernet card, make sure that your network driver is set to "PCMCIA." If the card is not detected, try upgrading pcmcia-cs (don't bother with the 2.4 kernel drivers, yet).
Sure, it is set PCMCIA. The card is detected. The problem is that it hangs up when I activate the card as my network interface with yast2 or manually by means of ifconfig and Network PCMCIA restart.

I've never been happy with the way yast sets up PCMCIA ethernet cards. It seems to assume they're permanently inserted, and treats them like PCI cards, initializing them at bootup. Here's what I do: When installing, ask for 'localhost networking only' (no ethernet cards installed). Do install the PCMCIA package, as well as dhclient or dhcpcd. Login as root, and do the following: Edit /etc/pcmcia/network.opts - Clone the section for the SuSE scheme, renaming the second copy 'dhcp'. In that second copy, change DHCP="y". Save the file. Issue the following commands: cardctl ident - note which slot your ethernet card is in... cardctl eject # (substitute the appropriate slot #) cardctl scheme dhcp cardctl insert # Within a few seconds, you'll pick up an IP address and default gateway from your friendly local DHCP server. If you find yourself in and environment which does not have a DHCP server, you can simply create another scheme section, this time specifying static addresses, and do the eject/insert thing again, setting the scheme appropriately. -- Rick Green "I have the heart of a little child, and the brain of a genius. ... and I keep them in a jar under my bed"

No it doesn't, but it's own setup is very friendly.

I highly recommend upgrading pcmcia-cs. The site is at http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ but check out the forums there first. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE61eaa+FOexA3koIgRAhfzAJsEdVw99sJauzC4ETQpi/qXI5IgdwCgviPt PaWbN4QQh91+EFLn8T6ubaI= =0k9I -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Hello again, I remember once I tried OSS when it was included in previous version of SuSE in the pay packages... Now it seems not to be included. Why? On Thu, 12 Apr 2001 14:32:06 -0300, James Oakley wrote:
