similar to: CentOS and Atheros

I've just acquired a use IBM Thinkpad R40 model 2722-GDM. I'm contemplating what to run on it, and longer-term the likely candidates are: Centos 5 SLE{D,S} 10 OpenSUSE 10.2 Kubuntu - the latest. Kubuntu - Long Life (aka 6.04, Dapper, ...) I've booted Knoppix 4 in it and most seems well, including the Atheros Wireless card Windows can't find. The major flies in the

My OQO boxes have the AR5413 wifi chipset, so for the first time in quite a while, I again need to run madwifi. So I went looking for the dkms madwifi rpms, but could not find them. They use to be on rpmforge, as I recall. dkms is there. So have I lost some memory cells or have these rpms taken a hike?

I tracked down a createrepo rpm "for RHL 7.x, AS 2.1" etc (hosted by Dag), but it's uninstallable. Eventually I managed to create an rpm from the source (actually, that's fairly easy when onw knows to say "python2"), but python-urlgrabber has completely defeated me. According to Dag, the problem is that "upstream" doesn't see the need to support

I'm looking at the first ISO image (I only have two so far), and I don't see instructions a repo for preparing for a network install. It used to be basically copy all the RedHat/Fedora/CentOS directories to a common location. Then one booted from the network, CD or whatever and gor right into it. The last part I'm sure is substantially the same as before, but we do need a new

Has anyone tried flying with Samba 4 (preview)? Experiences, thoughts, advice? -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Please do not reply off-list

I remember being a small part of and following this thread a few months ago. <http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-May/065091.html> I've been attempting a go at getting wpa_supplicant running on CentOS 4.3 and haven't had much luck. I'm assuming my failure is my lack of knowledge on the subject, but anyways. First, my normal setup is as follows: IBM Thinkpad R40

I want to buy a laptop and install CentOS 4 on it and have the wifi work when I'm done. (Hoping for reasonable specs: 2GHz, 40GB drive, 1/2 to 1 GB RAM, CD-ROM, light and thin, 13 or 14 inch screen....) Any recommendations?

Which is better? Why? I know yum is the official update mechanism here and in Fedora Core, but that doesn't make yum better than up2date any more than Windows NT was better than OS/2. Let's try to keep the discussion objective:-) I'm asking, hoping for some insights into why RH might (apparently) be moving to yum in preference to up2date (yum is now used within Anaconda). Other

Think of this as a motion as one might move at a meeting. Discussion and refinement are in order. I don't understand the current rationale for a single CentOS users' list; probably in times past it was sensible, but I think the time has come for splitting the list by release. I'm speaking from my own perspective, but I'm sure others have similar stories. How many users use

Hello, I just installed Centos 5.2 on my wife's IBM thinkpad T41 with Atheros wireless. It looks like I need to install madwifi to get the wireless to work. Our home wireless network uses WPA2 I found the EL5 rpms at atrpms, but there is no madwifi-kmdl rpms for kernel 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5. So, to get the wireless working on my home network, what's the shortest path from here? Install

I am trying to understand Suspend 2 and what I have to do to get it working in Centos 5. There is quite a bit for it at ATrpms: http://www.atrpms.net/dist/el5/hibernate-suspend2/ http://www.atrpms.net/dist/el5/kernel-suspend2/ The later is the kernel patches that they refer to at the Suspend2 website, so I don't have to recompile the kernel? I noticed that over at:

I have not installed the madwifi specific kernel stuff (kdml and hal-kdml) from atrpms. I have installed with wpa rpms. And my Atheros card is working with almost no work on my part (other than runing wpa_supplicant as a deamon). Nice!

I rebuilt my notebook that has the atheros card in it, and forgot to save all of my setup to get it working. I am using dkms and the madwifi rpms from rpmforge. My modprobe.conf has a line: alias wifi0 ath_pci I can ifconfig wifi0 up But the command: /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant -dd -D madwifi -i wifi0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf fails. Now some of my old

Kudzu is not recognizing my Atheros card. Actually I was having this problem with the plus kernel and I fell back to 2.6.9-34.0.2 Running on ethernet until I can figure out what to update.

Hello Pkg-xen-devel list, I am running lenny with xen-linux-system-2.6.18-4-xen-686 (xen 3.0.3) installed. I'd like to put this server in the cupboard and access it via wifi. To build the wifi kernel module, it should hopefully go like this : apt-get install madwifi-source madwifi-tools m-a a-i madwifi modprobe ath_pci ... Except that I do not have the sources nor the headers of my kernel.

I took the dive and installed the CentosPlus kernel. I remembered that I could always boot with the old kernel if things went south. But on reboot, kudzu wanted to delete the Atheros config. I told it not to, but.... Would a simple 'freshen' of madwifi-0.9.1-24.el4.at.i386.rpm ? an rpm -qa |grep wifi returns: madwifi-kmdl-2.6.9-34.0.2.EL-0.9.1-24.el4.at madwifi-0.9.1-24.el4.at

The nice folks at work have just provided me with a new, really spiffy, ThinkPad. So, I''m trying to get wireless working under CentOS4 and I''m having trouble. First, I can''t seem to find any rpms to just install (this would be really nice). And, second, when I try to build it from the src.rpm that I pulled from the atrpms repository with "rpmbuild --recompile

RPMforge still has: rpmForge: madwifi-0.9.2.1-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm ATrpms has: madwifi-0.9.4-38_r2512.fc6.i386.rpm but requires their patched kernel. I am at IETF this week, and was at IEEE 802 last week. There are over 60 visible access points in most locations (actually not that may APs, but an SSID for b/g, another for a, another for 802.1x TKIP, another for 802.1x CCMP, argh!) and I

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
