Loading PCMCIA modules
by Al Graziano
Hello,
I am trying to change the driver binding to my PCMCIA wireless card,
from orinoco to hostap, as I need to put the card in master mode and the
orinoco driver doesn't support it. This is what I get from pccardctl
# pccardctl info
PRODID_1="INTERSIL"
PRODID_2="HFA384x/IEEE"
PRODID_3="Version 01.02"
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0156,0002
FUNCID=6
# pccardctl status
Socket 0:
3.3V 16-bit PC Card
Subdevice 0 (function 0) bound to driver "orinoco_cs"
I run Fedora 6 and after a lot of reading and googling I realize that
much of the PCMCIA stuff has changed alot with the new 2.6 kernel. I was
thinking of using the /etc/pcmcia/conf file and put the mapping for the
new binding there, and then restart the PCMCIA service. However, all is
changed and I am struggling to understand how I can change mapping
between the card and drivers. It appears as though the
/etc/pcmcia/conf.opts is still used
Any help is greatly appreciated, please :-)
Ciao

I believe that the SiI 3112 is surpassingly craptastic ... However, it
is the only option that allows me to RAID both my windows partition
and my Fedora partition. What I find surpising is that Windows has
remained oblivious to the whole thing and has booted consistently.

I did try to fall back to setting up a software RAID but was thwarted
by anaconda telling me something like "this configuration is
unavailable on this platform" as soon as I hit the RAID button in the
partitioning step. Maybe this is just a bug in the latest test
installer.

cups-lpd: Unable to reserve port: Permission denied
by Garry Williams
Recently I've noted that print jobs sent to my local network lp server
take over five minutes to actually be spooled to the print server. I
ran strace on the running cups-lpd process and got this:
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [], 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGCHLD, NULL, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
nanosleep({1, 0}, {1, 0}) = 0
geteuid32() = 0
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 4
bind(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(981), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
close(4) = 0
write(2, "ERROR: Unable to reserve port: P"..., 49) = 49
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [], 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGCHLD, NULL, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
nanosleep({1, 0}, {1, 0}) = 0
geteuid32() = 0
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 4
bind(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(980), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
close(4) = 0
write(2, "ERROR: Unable to reserve port: P"..., 49) = 49
This repeats every second and the port for bind() decrements each
time. Once the attempt is made on port 631, it succeeds and the print
job is spooled off to the remote server:
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 4
bind(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(631), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0
connect(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(515), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.0.1")}, 16) = 0
I checked the manual and it says:
ERRORS
EACCES The address is protected, and the user is not the superuser.
Of course, the lpd process *is* running as root, so this makes no
sense to me.
I have no selinux avc messages indicating that selinux is responsible
for the EACCES errors.
I don't know where to go from here.

OT: corrupted FATs on an external drive
by peter kostov
Hi,
I have a Samsung mp3 player that doesn't want to format his drive.
When I run fsck on it I get:
# fsck.vfat -rtlV -v /dev/sdb1
dosfsck 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
Checking we can access the last sector of the filesystem
Boot sector contents:
System ID "MSDOS5.0"
Media byte 0xf8 (hard disk)
512 bytes per logical sector
4096 bytes per cluster
1 reserved sector
First FAT starts at byte 512 (sector 1)
2 FATs, 16 bit entries
126464 bytes per FAT (= 247 sectors)
Root directory starts at byte 253440 (sector 495)
512 root directory entries
Data area starts at byte 269824 (sector 527)
63127 data clusters (258568192 bytes)
63 sectors/track, 255 heads
50 hidden sectors
505550 sectors total
Starting check/repair pass.
Both FATs appear to be corrupt. Giving up.
I have tried mkdosfs with no luck.
I will appreciate very much if anyone can tell mi what to do to get it
back to work.

Configuration of NAT
by Edward S.P. Leong
Dear All,
If all of service ( include Firewall ) in the same server, and the
server use Private IP and connection with Router / HUB...
Then, how to define the NAT ( iptable function ) to transfer the IP
Address ( Public <-> Private ) and auto assign the IP range for Client
PCs ( LAN users ) ?
Is there an simple sample for reference ?
eg :
For Public IP ( from ISP ) :
IP range : 202.175.123.123 ~ 202.175.123.129 ( I want to assign IP 123
for the Server first )
subnet mask : 255.255.255.240
Router IP : 202.175.123.128
For Private IP ( All of Server under LAN environment ) :
IP : 192.168.0.1 ( I want to tranfer to 202.175.123.123 )
subnet mask : 255.255.255.0 ( I want to tranfer to 255.255.255.240 )
Router IP : 192.168.0.254 ( I want to tranfer to 202.175.123.128 )
For Client IP ( via NAT + DHCP of the Server ) :
Ip : 192.168.1.1 ~ 192.168.1.50

I've seen this behavior too. Usually it occurs after FF has been
running for a while. What's weird is that some link on a site won't
cause a problem when the running copy of FF is fresh. Return to the
site after "a while" and click on the same link again and the problem
occurs. I didn't file a bug since I can't reliably reproduce the
problem. At least it's not as annoying as the old "take all of the CPU"
bug that used to occur with about the same frequency.
Cheers,
Dave

what happened to KPILOT in KDEPIM-3.5.6 (Fedora 6 update) ?
by Marcello M. Pavan
Greetings
KPILOT has been a staple app of mine for some time to sync my treo 650 with
Kontact. But suddenly is disappeared from the latest KDEPIM-3.5.6 in the
last Fedora Core 6 update (accesed via Yum).
can anyone tell me what is going on ? an exhaustive web search (including
Fedora forums and mailing lists) has yielded nothing so far.
your help is much appreciated, and very much required. life is tougher
without my Treo and Kontact in sync ...
cheers,
marcello
