wpa_supplicant & bcm43xx working, NetworkManager not
by Patrick Lists
Hi,
Just a quick report that I have succeed in getting a wifi link from my
Acer laptop with a Broadcom BCM4318 chip active to a SpeedTouch 716
using WPA-PSK with AES. Unfortunately not with NetworkManager. Whatever
I do, if NetworkManager is involved things stop working and the door
handles fall off, except for LAN cable connections which work fine.
This is how I run wpa_supplicant (just from the command line, no daemon)
# /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ieth1 \
-c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd
# ifup eth1
Contents of /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant:
INTERFACES="-ieth1"
DRIVERS="-Dwext"
Contents of /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
eapol_version=1
fast_reauth=1
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="<name of my wifi box>"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
psk="<my passphrase in plain text without 0x prepended>"
}
If anyone in the know could kindly direct me to where the
wpa_supplicant/bcm43xx/NetworkManager combo bugzilla entry lives and
what kind of logs they need, I'll be happy to provide them.
Regards,
Patrick

scan epson 3490
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I try to have this scanner epson 3490 photo working under FC4.
I installed iscan from http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/
sane-find-scanner gives:
<snip>
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0122 [EPSON
Scanner]) at libusb:001:004
</snip>
then scanimage -L:
device `snapscan:libusb:001:004' is a EPSON EPSON Scanner1 flatbed scanner
OK.
now when I run iscan, I get a small dialog box: "scanner is being
initialised" and the led on the scan blinks green slowly.
After a while, everything fails: "unable to send a command to the
scanner. Verify your scanner"
And the led on the scan blinks red....
That's all.
who can help me?
I run FC4 x86_64.
thank you.

xinetd and selinux issues
by Al Freundorfer
I set up xinetd to allow certian sites to connect to the server
thru /etc/xinetd.d/ssh.
It works perfectly when I set selinux to permissive, but doesn't work when set
to enforcing even though I have the box checked in system-config-security
under selinux tab to allow ssh connection through inetd.
Can anyone help me with this?

laptop and laptop-mode-tools
by Leo
Hi there,
Do you recommend a laptop with fc5 to install laptop-mode-tools? Too
few 3rd party repos include this package that make me think it might
have something tricky.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
