Re: wireless lan problem
by Osama Mahdi
Thanks Tim for your reply.
but if the device is not in up state, why when I used ( iwlist scan ) I
was able to find many networks? I think that mean the device is
definetly up but it could not connect to the wireless network.
do u know the system file where the wireless encoding configuration is
stored? I think this will help solving my problem.

wireless lan problem
by Osama Mahdi
Hi guys,
When I activate my wireless lan using:
ifup wlan0 i got the following error:
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such file or directory.
and when I tried to change the Mod or the Encoding I got the following
error:
#iwconfig wlan0 mode auto
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
iwconfig wlan0 enc off
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such file or directory.
My wireless lan card is Intel Pro Wireless LAN 4965 AG , and the device
was working probably two days ago, so that I think there is nothing
wrong with the device driver. Also now i can find many networks with
iwlist scan but i can not connect to any one of them even my network.
I also checked the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 but I
could not find any thing related to the encoding:
# Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt
# for the documentation of these parameters.
TYPE=Wireless
DEVICE=wlan0
HWADDR=00:13:e8:88:1e:23
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
NETMASK=
DHCP_HOSTNAME=
IPADDR=
DOMAIN=
ONBOOT=no
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no
IPV6INIT=no
ESSID='MSUNet Wireless Guest'
CHANNEL=11
MODE=Auto
RATE=Auto
NM_CONTROLLED=no
any suggestions to solve this problem please ?
thanks

Package updater
by ramachandranc1@aim.com
When you apply updates,it takes lot of time (may be due my slow internet) to resolve the dependencies.
At the end of the day, you get a message that a prticular software is not available.
1. (Excuse me for my ignorance) Is it not possible to know which one is not available even before you start the operation?
2. Is it not possible to update the packages which has all the components, and leave out the ones which has deficiency of soft ware?

xubuntu
by Tom Holroyd
I just switched to Xubuntu 7.04 on my IBM Thinkpad G40 Laptop and it's
dropping keystrokes! I never had that problem with Fedora. I switched to
the lowlatency kernel and that helped but did not fix the problem. Is
this an atkbd issue, or is there perhaps some other beastie out there
turning interrupts off? More to the point, since this is a Fedora list,
what is it in Fedora that does this right?

Mandriva officially supports eee
by Valent Turkovic
http://justingill.com/blog/2008/03/18/mandriva-linux-spring-2008-release-...
Interesting article.
I know there is eeedora but that is not an official fedora spin but a
project maintained by only one eee and fedora user [1]
Does anybody know if there are any plans to support eeedora project
more officially from Fedora? There are milions of eee sold and
although xandros has made a nice UI for it the base system has lost of
issues if users want to install new software (apt-get dependency hell
because of conflicting xandros, debian, ubuntu and eee repos).
Cheers,
Valent.

Sound after logon screen is presented. (F8 64bit)
by Leslie S Satenstein
With F7, when the logon screen was presented, my choice of system ready sound bit was played. This was setup along with the other sounds for error, login, logout, etc...
With F8, the logon sound is never issued, but all the other sounds are present after logging in as a user.
I have not discovered how to repair the problem. The settings are in the same menu paths for each distribution.

If you have a specific example of a publicly available web page that
consistently caused the infinite loop, it might be good to submit
a bugzilla. The only consistent example I have is a password protected
banking app (and I don't really want to include my bank account and
password in a bugzilla so they can reproduce and maybe track down the
bug :-).
