  2. I am using Mandriva 2006 and have sucessfully installed my wireless LAN card using ndiswrapper. I have set my access point (i) not broadcasting its SSID and (ii) using WPA-PSK data encryption. The only problem is that I cannot connect my wireless LAN card with the access point unless I enable the SSID broadcasting. Is there anything that I can do? Thanks a lot! ;)
  3. Thanks again for the advice. I have tried to unplug my only usb device (i.e. palm cradle), but the system still hanged after I type linux noapic noacpi in loading Madriva 2005 LE.
  4. Thanks for the advance. After I have unchecked apic and acpi in Mandrake Control Centre - boot option, the system still hang when start loading pcmcia module. (PNP has been default disabled in BIOS) If I tried to boot it from Mandriva 2005 LE, pressed F1, type linux noapic noacpi, and then pressed 'Enter', the system still hanged after entering the graphic install mode.
  5. My computer is installed with one PCI LAN card and 1 pcmcia slot with a Buffalo WLI-CB-54 wireless LAN card. When I tried to install Mandriva 2005 LE with the download DVD. The system will freeze after I pressed 'Enter' to start the installation process. If I remove the wireless LAN card, the installation process can go smooth. But once I insert the wireless LAN card once again into the pcmcia slot, the system will freeze again (no matter it is during installatoin or after the Mandriva 2005 LE system has been loaded). So how can I install/configure the wireless LAN card into the system?
  6. Any updates in using broadcom chipset pcmcia wireless lan card in Mandrake 9.2?
  7. I have tried it before but the program (i.e. 127.0.0.1:18028) didn't recognize a device for the driver. Should I delete the module to bind in /etc/pcmcia/config ?
  8. I can finally load the pcmcia module by changing the /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia to PCMCIA=yes PCIC=yenta_socket However, according to http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html , my Buffalo WLI-CB-G54 pcmcia card should be using Broadcom chipset. What module should I ask the kernel to bind in /etc/pcmcia/config? I choose orinoco as I cannot find something suitable. How can I add WLI-CB-G54 as new LAN device before I can config it?
  9. Buffalo WLI-CB-G54 wireless pcmcia lan card in Ricoh compatible cardbus controller. I tried to start the pcmcia module in Kde 3 but failed to do so.
  10. The latest progress is that the wireless broadband router has been successfully set up in WinXP. However, I cannot load the pcmcia-cs module in my Mnadrake 9.2. How can I do? Is there any tutorial on this topic?
  11. I am planning to buy a Buffalo wireless broadband router to connect my WinXP/Linux with ADSL modem. Someone told me that it is not easy to establish the connection, probably owing to the lack of Linux driver. Is that true? :unsure:
  12. Perhaps I can share my successful experience in using Ghost to restore Mandrake 9.1 in my harddisk. First of all, my harddisk is installed with WinXP and Mandrake 9.1. WinXP is in my first partition and Mandrake 9.1 in my second and so on parititions. I installed Grub in my MBR to multiboot WinXP and Mandrake. After restore Mandrake in my harddisk using Ghost, it will load Grub but halt immediately. What I need to do is to use a Mandrake floppy boot disk to load the Mandrake, login as root and run the install Grub script in /boot/grub directory (of course you need to change it to 700 before it can be executed). Everything should work fine then! :P
  13. Help! After following the steps mentioned by aru, I am able to run the xvidtune in XWindows. However, when I try to optimize the width & height, I hearad the monitor switching to other refresh rate and in some cases cannot display the screen correctly. Is there any formula which I can calculate the values in the Modeline for 1024 x 768 @ 75Hz?
  14. My monitor, which was bought a few years ago, works best at 75Hz in 1027 x 768 resolution. At present, my monitor will be unstable and the screen will start to blink if it is kept 85 Hz for more than 1.5 hours. That's why I need to change it to 75Hz. For MS Windows environment, as the refresh rate is set to 75Hz, there is no such a problem.
