with atl1e driver: Corrupted MAC on input
by Gene Czarcinski
I believe I have detected a significant problem with the "atl1e" driver for
the Attansic Technology Corp. Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet
Controller (rev b0) when running Fedora 11 preview with the latest updates.
This controller is integrated on the ASUS M4A78 PRO motherboard.
Although my problem occurred when I was running scp, I believe that the
problem could also occur with other forms of data transfer and only show up
as corrupted data (files). Thus, I thought this email appropriate to warn
other users. My current "solution" is to install another NIC.
This problem has been reported:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=503288
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13404
This is no "show stopper" but may be of concern to other users. I am posting
a separate copies of this email to the test and user mailing lists.

Fedoraproject wiki
by Suvayu Ali
Hi,
The other day while trying to look for some information on the wiki, I
got very disappointed with the way the information was organized.
Specially the search doesn't seem to return very relevant results unless
you know *exactly* what you are looking for. Somehow the heavy use of
subpages in the fedora project wiki struck me as odd and inefficient.
After some searching and reading I came to some conclusions.
1. The concept of subpages evolved from the need to order articles
hierarchically.[1] However after the category system was introduced,
this became redundant as organisation of information is in itself a
non-linear idea and the use of categories is simply much more efficient
in that regard.
2. The search function in mediawiki looks through the page names in
specified namespaces. And through a combination of bugs and features a
particular search might/might not be effective.[2]
So could it be, that the search function could be made more effective if
we stop using subpages in the 'Main:' namespace? Maybe we could follow
some thing like wikipedia does, subpages are allowed only in the 'User:'
namespace. Moreover since a wiki is after all a free-form source of
information, wouldn't it be more logical to rely on the category system
to organise the information rather than force some hierarchy by the use
of subpages?
Just a thought, what do you think? Is this a worthwhile thought?

Can't get updates
by Anne Wilson
I'm having great problem after upgrading F9 to F10 (using an install dvd). I
get huge numbers of updates downloaded, but then it fails. The problem
appears to be related to my updates repo. I've tried it with both baseurl and
mirrors, without success. Errors I've seen include
Could not retrieve mirrorlist
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-
f10&arch=i386 error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')>

Can someone point me to the problem and solution? Thanks

Does it make sense to fold in the f11 updates into the next preview
release? E.g. to move all current updates back to rawhide?

our grub doesn't yet have support for ext4, so yes, /boot has to be ext3.
anaconda enforces this restriction, too.
we focused more on ext4 stability, fixing oopses & corruptions, and
worried less about /boot, for now. Next release should have it.

pulseaudio capability question
by Tom Horsley
In the quest to find something useful pulseaudio can do for me,
I'm wondering if it can do more than just volume when it is mixing
several audio sources?
I would love to learn I can insert an output filter to use
ffmpeg to do on the fly conversion of all my audio to something
that can be sent to the SP/DIF optical output on my motherboard.
Then, while it is at it, accept already encoded audio streams
from a DVD I'm playing and bypass the ffmpeg layer for them.
Now that would be useful.

Question about whehter xinetd is still used.
by Steven W. Orr
I just noticed that my F10 system does not even have xinetd installed. I
can certainly install it if I want, but I was just suprised that it was
not installed by default. Is there a movement to get rid of xinetd? It's
just that I remember that the trend used to be to move more server
processes to be added to the inetd config. Am I missing something?

Samba and Windows7 (a comment to an article)
by Leslie S Satenstein
Windows 7 does not do play well with a Linux network running Samba.
Unless you want to update your entire Linux network to the latest
version of Samba (and were not sure that will work) you will not be
able to join your Windows 7 machine to a Samba domain. Did Microsoft do
this by design?
Anyone verify that F11, or Ubuntu works with W7?

Application Server Software For Fedora 10/11/CentOS
by Robert L Cochran
I'm interested in setting up a Fedora system as an application server so
that it works like/has features similar to IBM's WebSphere Application
Server. I can't afford IBM's licensing costs. Is there an open source
application server that works more or less the same and will run on
either Fedora 10 or 11 or CentOS?
Thanks
