Driver for Modem Intel 537EP
by Paulo da Silva Silveira
Helô..
I need of a good driver (or patch for kernel) for modem Intel 537EP,
because I already search in many sites, I find many drivers versions
and, in the best case the modem freezes the kernel during the
connection process or 20 minutes later.
The kernel version in my Fedora Core 4 is 2.6.11_1XXX_fc4
This is the my 50º endevor to solve this problem.
My language is Portuguese.
My country is Brazilian.
Please... Help-me!
OBS: I already try the many drivers in the intel site and nothing.
Copiling and Run, but freezes the kernel some time later.

problems running 3-d applications
by Ankur Nayak
Hi,
I am having problems running 3-d applications on my system. I have fc3
installed on a p4 2.4ghz intel 865 m/b with 32 mb inbuilt graphics memory.
Eearlier my 3-d applications were running fine. But, recently I installed
nvidia drivers to test my friend's new graphics card and it was working
fine. I had made changes to xorg.conf to enable the drivers. Now, I dont
have the graphics card anymore and I restored my xorg.conf back. But now
graphics is not working for me. On starting "glxgears", I get the following
errors...
---

glxgears: Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual.

FC4 hang/interpret slabtop
by ptfedora3@majordomo.thedacare.org
I have a FC4 machine which hangs frequently.
It does a *lot* of logging from a remote syslog. It can hang at
unpredictable times, but will also usually become unresponsive around the
time when logrotate tries to rotate syslogs. My suspicion is there is
something wrong somewhere between the kernel and syslogd.
I have tried looking at slabtop to see if things are running out of room
in the kernel. I still think this is the case, but can't find any
authoritative source on increasing them to compensate.
Here is a view of my slabtop sorted by percentage used:
Things don't look right to me: there seem to be a lot of things at 100%
but my efforts to increase them by writing new values into /proc/slabinfo
are either wrong or ineffective. Any thoughts?

block desktop keyboard response
by Michael D. Berger
I pop a Shell Kolsole window and to some work.
I unknowingly bump my mouse off the Konsole
and hit a key. "Who knows what" happens.
Is there any way to block all keyboard control
on the desktop except in popped windows?
Thanks for your suggestions.
Mike.

FC 4 Networking bridge
by Mark
Hi all
Perhaps I am being a lil dim here as a new linux sysadmin personage
(previous preference was for windows, emphasis on "was")
For some reason I have not been able to get a working network along the
following lines.
NOTE this network is purely for systems testing, bandwidth etc, hence
the daisy chain effect.
I have 2 servers, both running FC4 and a cisco router.
The aim is to test throughput from one server to the other via the cisco.
My proposed solution is as follows:
Both servers have 2 gigE nics
Cisco has 2 interfaces which I have named ciscoLan and ciscoWan
Basically I want server 1 with eth0 connected to my DMZ network (and the
world at large) witha public IP address
I then want to configure eth1 with another public IP to connect directly
to the ciscoWan
I already have the cisco connected via ciscoLan to server 2 using NAT
and private IPs but I cannot get eth1 on server 1 to come up with the IP
address I need and then talk to the cisco.
I think the issue may be that I need to enable bridging of sorts between
the 2 NICs, as MS does with ICS etc.
So the question is, how do I acheive that?
As far as I can tell, I have all the interfaces configured correctly.
I can`t give the actual IPs here, but I will give an example:
All Xs give the same subnet
Server 1
/etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=test-server-01.domain.net
GATEWAY=X.X.X.33
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:14:22:22:04:1A
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
IPADDR=X.X.X.41
NETMASK=255.255.255.224
GATEWAY=X.X.X.33
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
HWADDR=00:14:22:22:04:1A
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
NETMASK=255.255.255.224
IPADDR=X.X.X.42
GATEWAY=217.30.126.33 <- is this a problem????
Have I really missed something and thats why this server can`t talk to
my cisco on eth1? By the way, the cisco has an IP of X.X.X.62
I am trying to have both eth0 and eth1 having IPs only 1 apart and the
gateway for eth1 is set to the same as eth0. Is this adding to the
problems?
I can solve it fairly easily by installing windows on server 1 and
configure ICS etc, but I would rather avoid that for 2 reasons:
- having FC4 on the server is beneficial for us after this roject
- I don`t want to give in to this problem, I would rather solve it.
Thanks in advnace.

Swapping module load order in anaconda.
by Sam Varshavchik
I have a server with two SCSI adapters, one hard drive on each adapter. The
first adapter seen by BIOS at power-on is an Adaptec, and the Adaptec's hard
drive becomes the boot drive. The hard drive attached to the other adapter,
which is the second adapter seen by BIOS, has an install of Fedora Core 1,
that I'm trying to upgrade to FC4. I don't recall the exact brand name of
this card, but its module is atp870u.o.
I could not load FC2 or FC3 on this machine because the atp870u.o module in
early 2.6 kernels for some reason did not see the hard drive with the FC1
install, that was attached to this card.
Now, I tried to boot FC4's installer on this box, and lo-and-behold,
atp870u.o has been fixed (my thanks to the whoever is the nameless soul that
fixed this module), but there's now an anaconda-specific issue.
FC1's anaconda loaded aic7xxx first, then atp870u. That matched the order
the cards are initialized by BIOS at power-on. aic7xxx's boot drive was
/dev/sda, and atp870u's hard drive, with FC1, was /dev/sdb, as it should.
But now, FC4's anaconda loads atp870u's first, then aic7xxx; with the end
result is that the drives mappings are reversed, sda swapped places with
sdb.
What's the magic voodoo incantation to get FC4's anaconda to load aic7xxx
first, then atp870u? I'm using the ol' "use-grub-to-load-pxeboot" trick to
start the installer.

Watching this thread, what is with all this demanding?
Red Hat is a member of this Fedora community and is giving us lots of code. You are a member of this community and giving us lots of help through the "Extras" package. Thank you, by the way, for doing more than just receiving.
We all knew coming in to this that the Fedora Core part was to be a "fast-moving distribution" with an almost mandatory upgrade path through "each" release (not "every other"), such that I would be upgrading at least twice a year. The community around the Fedora Legacy Project stepped up to try to give a longer life to each Fedora Core release.
But, how do we demand something of a community member? Turning the tide a bit perhaps.... I don't know anything about which packages you maintain for Extras, but I demand that you offer your packages for the PowerPC architecture on Fedora Core 1 for the next seven years (I am trying to pick something outrageous - if you cannot see my tongue planted in my cheek). How can I demand that?
Red Hat, as a leading community member, has been very upfront with us from day one of the Fedora Project. They will stop doing the work (however much that may be) on delivering updates to packages for a given "n" release shortly after the next "n+1" release of Core which conveniently coincided date-wise with the Test2 of the n+2 release. So we have some overlap of releases to allow us to conveniently upgrade within a couple of months of a given release. Why is this such a surprise to everyone?
Now everything that we "demand", Red Hat has to weigh against their current workload to see if it generates a lot of work or has some other intrinsic benefit to them. While I am sure that you have a big heart and that you are supplying the packages to Extras simply because of that heart (i.e. you are not actually using them yourself), most folks are going to do something because of some benefit.... Why are we lambasting Red Hat for being able to make choices about how they are going to expend their energies?
On the flip side, I do not mind people in the community suggesting changes in policy, but nothing can really be "binding" on a given community member. The idea of extending support for a given release is already provided through Legacy, though this discussion is apparently opening the door to making the "transition" smoother.
I think the beauty of the new Fedora Foundation will be to allow others to "officially" step up to the plate and provide that "Legacy" support, or "re-spun ISO" support, or whatever else those of us in the community can dream up, without the "veto" of some US corporation looming. It won't happen overnight, but I think this is an interesting step forward for all of us.
But let's stop "demanding" and spend more effort "discussing" how we can move forward.

Procmail recipes
by Anne Wilson
I'm having great problems trying to adapt my procmail for mbox recipes
to work the maildir folders. For instance:
:0:
* ^To:.*design@lydgate.org
./Mail/Design
worked fine on the old server. On the new one I've tried
:0
* ^To:.*design@lydgate.org
{$MAILDIR}Design
{$MAILDIR}Design/
{$MAILDIR}.Design
{$MAILDIR}.INBOX.Design
Every time, I get the message appended to a text file, as though it was
an mbox file, in ~/Maildir.
What am I doing wrong?
