-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All, I'm giving serious thought to loading 5.1 on my Inspiron 1501 laptop, but I'm wondering about certain hardware support such as the following: - - Broadcom Wireless Adapter - 1390 Wlan (bcm43xx) - - USB (Pny Memory Stick - everytime on previous version CentOS has eaten the damned things) - - pptp vpn client(s) Any comments? thanks,

Is there any way I can find a driver and/or get the above wireless card working in CentOS 5 on my Dell laptop (Inspiron 1501). I've installed ipw2200 from RPMForge, but it now appears that this won't work because the card is not an Intel PRO/Wireless card. Dell seem to support only MS Windows Vista now so I don't think there's much chance of getting a driver from them - so am I on

Has anyone seen a supported hardware list on CentOS 6? I've been looking around for the last few days; even looked at RedHat's site but didn't find one. I've got a Dell Inspiron 1501 with a Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN mini-card in it and I'm trying to find out if it's going to have native driver support for the WIFI. thanks, -- Mark Weaver Computer Information Systems

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

Installed CentOS 5 on my Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop, hoping that it will be easier to set up wireless networking than it was in CentOS 4.4. But still sooooo difficult to get it working, mainly because there doesn't appear to be a driver pre-installed for this wireless card ((Dell wireless 1390 Mini PCI network card 802.11b/g). Do I still have to use ipw2200 and what is this anyway? - I really

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.

Hi all, I've got some insanity with mounting an NFS share that before reloading my workstation afresh worked perfectly, but now refuses to mount. Actually there are two servers with shares mounted. (1) Mandrake 10.0 file server - two shares - mount perfectly (2) Fedora Core 3 - one share - can't mount to save my life! My workstation is CentOS 4. I reloaded it to get rid of the FC3

I ordered and just received today a new Dell Inspiron 640m laptop (it also goes by the name E1405). Anyone tried installing CentOS on this laptop? It's the wireless drivers I'm most concerned about; it's got the Dell 1390 internal wireless card (not the Intel wireless). Anyone have some feedback, on the wireless or any other issues, on running CentOS on this laptop? Thanks Paul

Hi, after some time without FreeBSD I installed 7.1 on an IBM Thinkpad T30 (with ZFS root on encrypted geli, works great). Config is: FreeBSD hasking.alashan.nongo 7.1-STABLE FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE #3: Thu Feb 5 21:10:45 CET 2009 root@hasking.alashan.nongo:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HASKING i386 I tried using my ath based D-Link DWL G650, which still seems to have some issues in regard to interrupt

Hi Folks, I'd like to install my USB-WLAN-Stick Netgear WG111v3. Ndiswrapper works correct after installing Kernel-Modules from atrpm ndiswrapper-kmdl-2.6.18-53.1.19.el5.centos.plus-1.52-16.el5.i686.rpm. But by calling wpa_supplicant with wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -d machine freezes. My wpa_supplicant.conf:

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 All, I've got a really dumb question. I seem to have lost my Trash Can on my KDE desktop and try and as I might I can't get it back. Anyone have any idea how I can create this again or get it back? It's on the desktop as it should be in Gnome, but has disappeared from the KDE desktop. -- Mark "If you have found a very wise man, then you've found a man that at one time

Hi All, I'm wondering about something that seems a bit odd. I've setup a CentOS 4 box for a client that is "still" using dial-up and to activate the connection appears to require root privileges. Why is this? The reason Linux was loaded on this box was to provide a very functional box that could be easily locked down so when the cat was away the mice couldn't play,

WPA-2 (WPA Enterprise) fails with the new kernel(s) using ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant. I haven't tried other authentication modes because that entails changes in the wireless setup which I am loathe to make right now. (It's a Broadcom mini pci card, so I have to use ndiswrapper with this Dell laptop. Bummer!). Rebuilding the newest wpa_supplicant rpm from the FC5 source rpm's

Hi there I am just writing to find out if anyone else had an issue installing CentOS 5 on an inspiron notebook. If I choose Desktop - Gnome in the distribution selection, after the "transferring image to hard disk" message it waits a very long time than dies with an error about not being able to run the transaction due to the following error: Press enter to reboot. I am able

Has anyone had any luck with getting the Dell TrueMobile 1400 A/B/G wireless card working under Linux? I have experimented with ndiswrapper, i have had nothing but problems trying to get it to work. I was wondering if anyone has found a native Linux driver for the card. It uses a Broadcom 4309 chipset. Regards, Peter

Hi Folks, I am trying to get my wireless network card work under dom0 of XEN. I could successfully install the ndiswrapper drivers and could see it being associated to AP. However I amn''t able to transmit any packets outbound. I could''nt even ping the AP. Interestingly when I run a tcpdump I can see few broadcast packets on the interface. There no rules in iptables for nat or
