turning on the wireless card
by Barry Tepperman
The hard disk crashed on my Dell Inspiron 6000 and after replacing it
I've installed JUST FC5 - NO Windows. Have followed all the steps to
download and install all the drivers and firmware I need to get my
builtin wireless (Intel Pro Wireless 2200) working - and Network Control
panel tells me everything is in place. But... when I go to activate the
card it can't be found and I get an error message asking me if the cable
is connected. I have read elsewhere that one bug in FC5 on this machine
is that it doesn't switch the wireless card on and that the fix is to go
back into Windows and switch it on there. Well, folks, I don't have
Windows and really don't want to install it just for that. Any
suggestions about how to switch it on within FC5?

how to limit number of mysqld processes?

I have about 15 mysqld processes running. They all appear to be child

Can mount location of cdroms be customized?
by David Jansen
I liked it in previous versions of Fedora Core that a cdrom would always
get mounted in a fixed location, e.g. /media/cdrom or /media/cdrecorder
so you could just access it, or have scripts access it in the same
location.
Now, cds and other removable media are mounted using the name of the
media, eg "/media/K3b data project"
Is there a way to customize the mount point to get the old behaviour
back (or to get some other predictable behaviour)?
Access from scripts is one reason I would like that, cd's with 'weird"
characters in the name (probably encoded in another characterset) are
another reason. The above mentioned "/media/K3b data project" was
already problematic for some programs! And not just some weird programs:
bash-3.1# eject
umount: /media/K3b\040data\040project: not found
(and this was using eject-2.1.5-0.1.fc5, last week's update)
Such behaviour is just broken, but I don't know if it is eject that is
broken, or gnome-mount / udev / hal or whichever component that thought
that putting spaces in mountpoints would be a nice touch!

Flash and Firefox
by Russell Golden
I installed Fedora Core 5 last night, and I can't get Flash player to
work with Firefox or Mozilla. I've tried installing it in Firefox with
both Firefox's built in installer and by the command line installer
provided by macromedia (well, adobe now). Also installed manually using
the copy command like it recommends on the mozdev website. It ain't
workin'. Can anybody help me?
Thanks,

"Suspend" on Dell Precision M70: ANYBODY have it working in FC5?
by Dean S. Messing
If so I'd like to hear from you.
I will shortly be installing FC5 on my M70 which I have
not been able to effectively use because of lack of Suspend.
I don't care if it is "to disk" or "to memory". As long as I can
put the thing to sleep (with X running) and come back and have
all the many things I had going on still going on, I'll be happy.
Thanks for your responses.

MS Windows through QEMU
by Paul Smith
Dear All
I have just learned that MS Windows can run under Fedora through QEMU.
Has somebody here used that? And if yes, what about its performance?
Is it simple the installation?
Thanks in advance,

MSI K9NGM2-FID Kernal won't boot after upgrade to 2174
by Tom Bishop
I am using fc5 on a brand new MSI MSI K9NGM2-FID AM2 pc, I have installed
the x_64 vers and the installation went smoothly. However, once I booted
and performed a yum upgrade, the latest kernel (2.6 2174) will not boot, I
get the following error:
pci:bios bug;mmcfgarea@e0000000 is not e820-reserved
pci:not using mmconfig
This happens shortly after selecting in grub and the system just hangs. I
can however boot the orginal kernel 2.6.15 and I don't receive these
messages. Since this is a new board MSI doesn't have a newer bios to test,
has anyone seen this? Is there a workaround? Thanks.
