What's the easiest path to having my Atheros wireless cards supported, particularly in C5? In the past, I've chosen to download source and build my own, but that's become a little tiresome. At one point, OpenSUSE was the easy option, but since 10.1 it's dropped madwifi. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Please do not

This is a new Centos 5.1 install on a HP nc2400 (that use to run XP). Completely clean install; blew away the XP partitions... After applying all the updates, and configuring for the rpmforge repo, I used yumex to install dkms and the dkms-ipw3945, ipw3945-firmware, and ipw3945d rpms. lsmod|grep ipw shows: ipw3945 180391 1 ieeee80211 33417 1 ipw3945 and dmesg)grep

Sunday I updated my kernel to 128.1.16 (I had to reboot so it was time to update). No problems with wireless in my home. Monday I started traveling to IEEE 802 plenary, and I have lost my wireless numerous times needing to reboot. The symptom is the radio light goes off. Back before the kernel update, this would happen sometimes at home while on battery, and I would just press the

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, everyone. I added a new guide for installing and configuring the OCS Inventory NG server/client system on CentOS 5.x. Also, there's some brief explanations for integrating it into GLPI. I added it under non CentOS applications, since I think it fits in best there. Regards, Max - -- # find .

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys, Someone on the list today was asking about diskless clients. I have a guide written for doing diskless clients across NFS and PXE. I noticed there was nothing existing on the wiki for such a thing. I wanted to ask before I created the main category "Diskless Clients" under the How To page. Any objections to that there? Or suggest

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys, I noticed you have a backup section on the wiki. I wrote a quick guide to installing and and using rsnapshot on CentOS 5.1.

...9;d like to add whatever I can regarding my hardware. I followed the directions for adding a laptop page, but I was never promoted to enter any information after choosing the laptop template.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Ralph. I'm almost done verifying and updating the Nagios guide works with both CentOS 4.x and 5. Currently, the page is labeled "Nagios on CentOS 4.x." I wanted to make sure the title reflects. The new guide will work for both 4.x and 5 together, so would it be a problem to rename that page to "Nagios on CentOS 4.x/5.x"

Hi, all. How appropriate would a visualization and desktop "prettification" page be? I know like myself a lot of people use CentOS not only as their server, but also as their main desktop system. This page could be for used for adding desktop magic programs, tips, tricks, and visualizations. I was going to write a guide for installing and using Conky, if so.

BackupPC released 3.2.0 as a stable version a few weeks ago. The most current release is 3.1.0 in the testing repository. Are there any plans that this will be updated to 3.2.0 in the repo some time down the road? Also, will the BackupPC package be moved out of testing and into extras ever? Or are there reasons behind this that are more complicated, making it not "stable" to be in

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I found this on my Newsforge newsletter this morning. A group has put together a marketing program attempting to get some cash together for Linux to get a sponsorship sticker on an Indy 500 car. CentOS is on the list of folks who have contributed.

Hi, due to some idiot not being able to configure his Exchange server correctly, this list has been swamped by loads of duplicate mails. There were still several hundreds of mails awaiting delivery to this list. I have removed all of those from the mail queue - so if you are missing a mail you have sent, please resubmit it, it probably was lost while I cleaned the queue as I had no way of

Hi, everyone. I wrote a guide for installing and configuring BackupPC on a CentOS host using rsync as the primary backup method. As best as one can proof read their own writing, I did so, but please read through and feel free to correct and change any typos. <http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BackupPC> Regards, Max

I know that some of you from the list have asked me in the past for a copy of my CentOS based Linux Firewall document. There are also those that have no clue what I am talking about. This is for the former group... There is a new version of my document out. It's changed quite a bit since the last person asked me for it. Some of the changes are: * Updated the scripts in the Useful Shell

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys, How are we to handle multiple versions of How-Tos? Meaning, I have document foo written for CentOS 4.x, but update it to reflect CentOS 5.x. Do you want a new page reflecting what release it's written for while keeping the old one intact? Do you want it inside the same page? Do you want a new page? I have a few pages I was going to go

Wiki Admins, I will no longer be participating in the CentOS wiki. I've removed my name from any of the pages that were submitted by me, and welcome others to do so with the pages as they wish. I'd like to be removed from the EditGroup, as well as have my account deleted. Username: MaxHetrick Unfortunately, attitudes about what the wiki should be and currently are, and my own attitude about it, aren't aligned. The CentOS wiki should be a welcomed place for user contributed documentation, but as time goes on it seems as though that's not what many key people envision or want...
