F15: weird files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
by Joachim Backes
Hi,
Besides ifcfg-em1 and ifcfg-lo, I found some weird configuration files
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts:
ifcfg-Auto_abc
ifcfg-Auto_linksys 1
ifcfg-Auto_linksys
ifcfg-Auto_mycloud
I don't know who is reponsible for creating these files. But I saw that
they slowed down NetworkManager's speed after boot when logging in for
the first time (it took about 20 secs until the network was completely
up). After having removed these files, I saw a significant improvement
of NetworkManager.
Anybody has an explication?
Kind regards

Network scripts question -
by Bob Goodwin
I have two F-15 computers. Box6 has the following files while box9
has only /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo, both are using
NetworkManager.
[bobg@box6 ~]$ ll /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*
-rw-r--r--. 3 root root 577 Jun 22 18:16
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 254 Apr 27 13:17
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo
-rw-r--r--. 3 root root 577 Jun 22 18:16
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-p2p1
I can ssh from box6 to box9 but not from box9 to box6. Either one
will ping the other, stopping the fire wall does not have any effect.
Any suggestions, what to look for?
Bob

Suddenly I made it work. I don't know what was the previous problem.

Network printing in Fedora 15
by Richard Shaw
I recently upgraded (clean install) my wife to F15 and noticed that
even after I opened up the firewall for printing that it did not auto
detect my printers like it had in F14. Am I missing something or is
this intentional?
The Gnome 3 printer settings GUI is, uh, interesting. Manually adding
a printer seemed to work.
Thanks,
Richard

To be completely clear. cups should be running on the printer clients but no running of configuration
software such as system-config-printer should be done on the clients.

system-config-samba
by François Patte
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Bonjour,
I try to use "system-config-samba" and I cannot because I get a quite
cryptic message:
Erreur d'autorisation
L'autorisation demandée pour
« org.fedoraproject.config.samba.configure » n'a pas pu être obtenue.
L'application va maintenant se fermer.
I try to translate:
Authentication error:
The permission asked for "org.fedoraproject.config.samba.configure" was
not given. The application is going to shut down now.
What does this mean? How to solve the problem?
As a matter of fact, I would observe that messages should be given to
help people not to confuse them and let them with no clue on how to
solve their problems...
Thanks for answering.

Help With Touchpad on System 76 Pangolin Performance
by Richard Heck
I've just recently bought a Pangolin Performance laptop from System 76.
The machine is fantastic, though they insist upon installing Ubuntu on
it. :-/ So I'm trying to get Fedora working.
The only two snags seem to be the wireless and the touchpad. Camera and
audio seem fine. The wireless was just a matter of installing
iwl6000g2b-firmware.
The touchpad is proving a bit more difficult. It appears to be detected
just as a PS2 mouse. System 76 deal with this on Ubuntu by installing a
kernel module via dkms. The source for the module is available here:
http://planet76.com/drivers/elantech/psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2
If I follow what the "System 76 Driver" does, then I do:
cd /usr/src
wget http://planet76.com/drivers/elantech/psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2
dkms add -m psmouse -v elantech-v6
dkms build -m psmouse -v elantech-v6
all as root. Unfortunately, this last step fails. The log shows:
> DKMS make.log for psmouse-elantech-v6 for kernel 2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64
> (x86_64)

> MODPOST 0 modules
> make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64'
It occurred to me that the problem might be the dkms.conf file:
> PACKAGE_NAME="psmouse"
> PACKAGE_VERSION="elantech-v6"
> CLEAN="rm -f *.*o"
>
> BUILT_MODULE_NAME[0]="psmouse"
> MAKE[0]="make -C $kernel_source_dir
> M=$dkms_tree/$PACKAGE_NAME/$PACKAGE_VERSION/build/src psmouse.ko"
> BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="src"
> DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="/updates"
>
> AUTOINSTALL="yes"
But I do not understand these files.
For what it's worth, trying to run the make command manually as:
> make -C /usr/src/kernels/2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64/
> M=/var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/ psmouse.ko
still gives the "MODPOST 0 modules" error.
Can anyone help please? I'd much prefer to run Fedora on this thing....

Intel 4965AGN Standard "N" update
by Lawrence E Graves
Just inquiring as to whether or not if there is going to be an update to
the 4965AGN wifi card to utilize the new Standard "N". I have the
Overdrive Pro which has the new "N" and my 4965AGN will not connect and
I believe it is because the Draft N is not compatible with the new
Standard. I stand to be corrected. Just asking someone to look into this
problem I am having. I have contacted Sierra Wireless and they have
assured me that their device is backward compatible so I am looking
further for answer. I have purchased 2 new 4965AGN with no success in
connecting to my Overdrive Pro. Please advise.
