similar to: Ndiswrapper for Realtek 8180L on CentOS 5.0

I have recently installed CentOS 6 on a system with a Realtek 8180L wireless card. The wireless card is detected properly and uses the rtl8180 driver. But it connects to our wireless network only after logging to the Desktop Environment (GNOME) and using the Network Manager Applet. In order to make the wireless card connect to the network automatically at system start up, I edited the Connection

Hello, On the Intel Core 2 Duo processor based systems, we have the option of installing either x86_64 or the i386 distribution. I would like to know your experiences with the x86_64 port. How does it compare with the i386 distribution in terms of stability, reliability and performance ? How significant are the performance benefits gained by using the x86_64 linux instead of i386 on the same

Has anyone created or rebuilt a Linux Software RAID having mirrored partitions on unequal sized hard disks ? There is a CentOS 5 server having two 400 GB hard disks with five mirrored partitions (software RAID 1) and one of the hard disks is dying. Since new 400 GB HDDs are not available here, we are exploring the possibility of replacing the faulty hard disk with one of a higher capacity (500 GB

Hello, Does CentOS 5.4 support large ( > 2 TB) external storage devices using GPT (GUID Partition Tables), while the main OS resides on smaller hard disks using MBR. In this scenario, what can be the largest possible size of an ext3 partition (and filesystem) which can be created on the storage array under CentOS 5.4 ? Thanks, Manish

Hello, Is there any command / option available on CentOS to expire a user's password immediately ? I remember using "passwd -e" on some other distribution but the -e option does not seem to be present on CentOS 5.x. Thanks, Manish

I have a doubt. If you use such a script monitoring the link status with ping and then reconfiguring, why do you need the DGD patch? You need to do some reconfiguration (change multipath to a single default route) anyway if you use the script, right? Also, the DGD patch uses src to lookup the routing table entry, but if you have a dynamic IP for the WAN interface (PPPoE, DHCP etc), this approach

Hello! I read the Split access and Load balancing sections into LARTC (Chapter 4). However I have one gateway only and the LARTC says about 2 links. I need to know how to make a load balance with my links. Thanks in advance. Eriberto - Brazil

Hi - I'm trying to get wireless running on CentOS 4.7 on a dual core laptop (latitude-e4500) for an employee. I'm having trouble with building dkms-ndiswraper-1.54-1.el4.rf - enclosed are the errors messages. The kernel was rebuilt to disable CONFIG_4KSTACKS. The errors prior to rebuilding the kernel are identical to the errors after rebuilding the kernel and rebooting - minus the error

Hello all, Has anyone gotten dom0 to work with ndiswrapper? I''m a newbie, but I''ve managed to install dom0 and get it to boot, then compile a new dom0 and get that to boot too. I''ve turned on the appropriate .config params for wireless (as far as I know). I''ve downloaded/compiled/installed the latest ndiswrapper. When I ''modprobe

Hi Folks, I'm trying tio install WLAN - USB - Stick Netgear WG111v3. ndiswrapper -i wg111v3 works. I can see ndiswrapper -l wg111v3: driver installed device (0846:4260) present But after modprobe ndiswrapper the system freezes. Troublshooting on ndiswrapper-sites says: It's a problem of "kernel is using 4K stacks (CONFIG_4KSTACKS)" Solution: recompile the kernel.

This is an abbreviated version of an e-mail that I also posted to the ndiswrapper mailing list. Compressing the long story, I ran into the same problem using CentOS 5 as I had with Fedora Core 6 and ndiswrapper: my laptop (HP Pavilion zv6000 series with a Broadcom BCM43xx wireless NIC) would lock up or spontaneously reboot after a few hours if I brought up the wireless interface. I also

I know, I know... don't use the non-standard kernels unless you have to... BUT: I have a D-Link N150 USB card. Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0846:9030 NetGear, Inc. WNA1100 Wireless-N 150 [Atheros AR9271] This isn't supported in C5, but it is supported in newer kernels (ath9k_htc). So let's try NDISwrapper: # rpm -i kmod\-ndiswrapper\-1.56\-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm

Hi everyone! :-) I have a problem with making a wireless USB dongle work under CentOS 6. The dongle is known to not work natively under Linux and last time I used it (cca 3 years ago) I managed to get it working using ndiswrapper. This time I was hoping to make it work again in the same way. But the "yum install kmod-ndiswrapper" reports the following (among other regular stuff):

Greetings: I'm just installed Centos-4 on an IBM T-21 laptop. So far so good. Now I'd like to pop in a wireless lan adapter. I'm looking at a buying a Linksys WPC54G adapter (although I haven't done so yet). After doing some searching, it looks like the best way to get this card working is via ndiswrapper [http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net] and then to use Windoze

Hi people, I am using CentOs 4.3 and i'm trying to use ndiswrapper, but i don't obtain make it to run. my problem is with "invalid format" of module ? any suggestions ? thanks.

Hi all! After that good thread "DGD patch not detecting dead gateway" I was able to set up a Load Balancing with ping based DGD (without Julian Anastasov patch). But now I''m facing a new problem and tried some options, with only partial solutions. I made a script based on http://www.mail-archive.com/lartc@mailman.ds9a.nl/msg16257.html (Thank you Manish Kathuria),

How are the updated kernels released by Red Hat / Cent OS related to the latest vanilla kernels ? Are the changes, new features and drivers, etc. available in the newer kernels also ported to the updated kernels released by Red Hat in their entirety ? For the lifetime of a distribution like RHEL 4 or RHEL 5, Red Hat would stick to the same major and minor number of the kernel and would just

Hello, I have the exact same problem as mentioned in this post,(http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2005-06/msg00221.html) (or see the bottom of this post) Yet the conversation was continued elsewhere, is this a bug or somthing stupid.. or more importantly is there a solution?

I just installed Centos 5.5 x86_64 on a new Toshiba Satellite L1500D. Everything seems to work (so far) other than the wireless networking; lscpi tells me: 0e:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Unknown device 8172 (rev 10) I discovered that I need the realtek driver, so I found and downloaded these: rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0010.1012.2009_64bit.tar.gz

Hello all! I applied http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/routes-2.6.8-10.diff patch to kernel 2.6.8.1 and it works fine, or almost fine. It does the load balancing well, but when one link is dropped it continues to try it. At the end of http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/nano.txt it is said to ping gateway 1 and gateway 2, for the kernel to know if that route is working, but since my linux is connected to the links
