No sound after installing Fedora 7
by Leon Soroko
Yesterday I installed a fresh installation on a Toshiba laptop
(A200) and to my surprise it was not possible to get any sound output.
The sound card (intel HDA card) is recognised, but fails to respond.
The old installation was Fedora Core 6 and was functioning properly.
Any ideas?
Leon.

Sorry Frank,
I have not tried suspending yet. I'll give that a try and get back with
you.

Best way to configure Fedora 7 for WiFi access?
by Joe Desbonnet
If one has to connect to many different wireless networks throughout
the week, what is the recommended way Fedora should be configured?
Enable NetworkManager?
I notice that NetworkManager is disabled by default -- is there a
reason for this? I would have thought that should be enabled by
default on laptops?
Also I notice that with my Thinkpad T41p now running Fedora 7 if
NetworkManager is enabled, then Suspend To RAM does not work: the
system wakes up immediately and becomes unstable (stuff starts to hang
- eg system shutdown will not complete and a hard reset is needed).
On the other hand Suspend To Disk (hibernate) works with
NetworkManager, but on wakeup the wireless device needs to be
explicitly brought back (/sbin/ifconfig wifi0 up) -- is this a bug?

Network problems with kernel 2.6.21
by Frank Rosendahl
Hi!
I think I missed some informations, because I have a problem with kernel
2.6.21 an the network.
I use a IBM X30 Notebook with eth0 = e100 and wlan = airo.
I have a fedora 6 installation updated to version 7
When I start my notebook with the fc6 kernel 2.6.20 (doesn't matter which
subrelease) I have no problems to connect with the ethernet card or the wlan
card to my network with dhcp.
So... I reboot my machine with the fc7 kernel 2.6.21. It seems to work, but
neither my ethernet card nor my wlan card gets a connection!
The wlan card gets configured with iwconfig and the right parameters.
But on both interfaces ethernet and wlan I get no network connection.
No firewall and no selinux is activated!
Now the very interesting thing:
When I only reboot the machine an start it with the old fc6 kernel the network
still not work! It seems like "frozen". I have to poweroff the notebook and
start it again!
I know there is a new wireless-stack in kernel 2.6.21, but I don't understand,
why also my ethernet doesn't work!
What could it be?
Thank's!

Thinkpad X30 with Fedora 7
by Jason Dickerson
If I hot dock or undock with my port replicator, my Linksys WPC54G
Cardbus Card in my laptop and my CDRW in the port replicator quit working.
It is like the module is removed, but not started back. They work if I
shutdown, dock or undock, and then start up.
On a side note, I am using the bcm43xx_mac80211 module for the Linksys
WPC54G. I realize this may be module related.
Also, I am getting messages about disabling irq 11 and no one caring, try
the irqpoll option. Well I tried the irqpoll option, and have lost system
stability. The laptop will just lock up when starting x windows or later at
random. It seems that it is ok without the irqpoll option, and no one
caring if it is disabled.

Thinkpad T41p success story
by Joe Desbonnet
I just installed Fedora 7 on my Thinkpad T41p. I think this is the
first time in years that the install worked flawlessly first time and
that all the important hardware is functional "out of the box".. I
have hibernate, suspend, sound, bluetooth, WiFi (via the madwifi
drivers on livna), video (courtesy mplayer). I suspect the TV out
won't work without the proprietary video drivers, but that is not
essential for me right now.
The last time something like that happened was back in the previous
century with something like Redhat 5 on a Gateway Solo laptop.
UI looks nice and better organised than before. I'm also impressed by
the hardware profile request at install time -- I think that will be a
useful resource.
A big step forward. Congrats to the Fedora team on what looks like an
excellent product.
