Situation: I am testing out Suse on the various hardware configurations in our school lab. Will be switching from Samba server (acting as a PDC, RedHat) with windows clients. We have about four different hardware configurations in our 35 workstations. Some only need memory upgrades and they will be fine with Suse. Some have unique problems with Suse Problem #1 Dell Optiplex GX1 with among other things, a built in sound card suse Identifies as Crystal C4236b. It works in windows fine, Suse sees it and installs driver for it, I don't see any error during startup, but no sound comes from card no matter what I do. Other hardware configs with on board sound work, but not this one. Has anyone here run across this one? And the solution to it? Problem #2 5 wire drops in our lab cannot pass 100Mb Full Duplex traffic. In windows, I had to tell the driver for the nic to either drop down to 10MB Full, or in one case 10MB Half. This was no problem, I knew where to go to do this and everything worked. I know the real solution is to fix the drops, but that would involve fishing more wire through drywall. Suse must allow for dropping 10/100 NICs down manually, doesn't it? I just don't know how. NICs are either 3COM or DLINK in variety, if that makes a difference. Help would be appreciated on either or both of these problems. -- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus (http://www.grisoft.com).
