I bought a CNet CNWLC 811 PCMCIA card (11Mbps max) and plug into the Mandrake 10. After pcmcia_cs was installed, the card was detected in boot but failed to assign IP address. After the installation of package atmel-firmware (commercial package) and reboot, iwlist eth1 scan worked, ifconfig eth1 192.168.2.3 worked, everything worked well like magic!

Did you install atmel-firmware (commercial package)? It has /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/atmel_at76c503-i3861.bin /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/atmel_at76c503-rfmd-0.90.2-140.bin /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/atmel_at76c503-i3863.bin /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/atmel_at76c503-rfmd-acc.bin /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/atmel_at76c503-rfmd.bin You may need them. you may load the module explicitly. Is it atmel driver?

The EliteGroup laptop are very cheap in Taiwan because it comes without Windows XP. I bought http://www.ecsusa.com/products/g733.html ECS-G733 on Feburary. It worked well for Mandrake 10. Every device driver was detected during installation. You can buy a CNet CNWLC-811 pcmcia wireless card for wireless functionality.

What is kismet? You may want to give the error message from the command line such as [root@hil root]# iwconfig ath0 essid any [root@hil root]# ifconfig ath0 192.168.3.9 [root@hil root]# iwlist ath0 scan Try to ping access points. e,g, the access point IP is 192.168.3.253, ping 192.168.3.253 (make sure no other ethernet interface is using 192.168.3.0). Avoiding using Mandrake Control Center in testing. If you can ping the access point, then you can get connected. Finally you have to set the default gateway and DNS then you are done.

What is your card and which chip is in it matters. You must give more detail to let others know to assist you.

Dlink DWL-650+ uses ACX100 (http://acx100.sourceforge.net/) chip and is very cheap as I know in Taiwan. The chip is Texan Instruments and poorly supported in open souce community. It is not gonna work well in Linux at all. You can download the driver and try to compile it first. I had a hard time attempting to compile the driver in Mandrake 9.2. I had to remove the 98th line in the Makefile.inc in the source tar ball to disable the kernel path config file (/usr/src/linux/.config) and make an empty file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h . However DWL-G650 (rev B & C) is based on Madwifi driver (see http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=357 and http://support.dlink.com/products/revision...tid=DWL%2DG650). Good news is that if you are running Mandrake 10, you can install the madwifi driver from the installation CD 3. Run rpmdrake --root and search madwifi to find the driver and utilities. If you are sure that the Dlink DWL-G650 is rev B & C( see http://support.dlink.com/products/revision...ctid=DWL%2DG650 to tell ), you may buy it and try it in your Mandrake 10!

Given a Math function formula, one could study the function properties by drawing graph on the paper by hand. It usually takes four steps. First is to choose different x values of the function. Second is to calculate the corresponding y values from the x values. Third is to draw pairs of points (x,f(x)) on the paper. Forth is to draw lines between adjacent points. It may be easy to plot a graph of simple functions like f(x)=2x. However, it may take more than 10 minutes to figure out how to plot the graph of trigonometric functions like f(x,y)=sin(x+y) or f(x,y)=sin((x/4)^2+(y/4)^2. Moreover, no one can guarantee the accuracy of the hand-plotted graph. The XPlot provides solutions to you. You need XPlot to replace the pencil and the paper with the keyboard, mouse and computer screen to plot the graph. The graph plotted is interactive. Change of point of views, zoom in and zoom out, adjust the plot range, and colorize the graph are all made possible in XPlot. SourceForge FreshMeat

I believed that it would be easier for you to burn CDs if you install the LITEON CD-RW before the installation of Mandrake Linux. Many configurations about CD-R and CD-RW are automatically set during the Mandrake Linux Installation process. I tried Mandrake 8.2 for a CD-R. It was successful. After the installation, I can easy burn CDs using Gcombust. However, I am trying to purchase a cheap (under $70) CD-R for my Mandrake Linux 9.1. Does anyone know the good products of CD-R to buy for Mandrake Linux? Does LITEON (LTR-52246s) 52x24x52x CD-Rewritable or MITSUMI 52X24X52 CD-RW Drive CR-487ETE-BK work and automatically configured during the Mandrake installation process?

Be cautious about your USB host controller interface. I got a compaq Presario 2800 computer with Mandrake 9 installed from the lab. The USB host controller interface is made by NEC with USB 2.0 compatible. The ehci (enhanced host controller interface) driver is loaded for the USB 2.0 host controller interface. I failed to make my USB mouse work from time to time. Sometimes my mouse ceased to function in the mean time of opening KDE programs. The heavy disk IO also caused the mouse to halt for a while. I guess the reason is the flawed ehci driver. Probably USB 1.1 is still good for USB mouse.

The EnterNet PPPoE ADSL dialing program is fairy good. I did not bother to configure anything about my external modem for connecting to the internet. I simply followed the steps in README.txt and connected to the internet successfully. If you have an internal ADSL modem, you must make Linux recognize the device first. http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.p...lease_id=126973 Linux export Hilbert with compTIA Linux+ certificate

For those who are interested in iptables, NAT and IP redirection are common services. How is the scripts in http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.p...lease_id=128663 ?

The <a href="http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/hardware.php3">hardware database</a> in Mandrake does not give users enough information to determine if a hardware device is supported. The Logitech QuickCam is reported as know hardware to work in Mandrake 9.0 but it truly does not. My company just bought <a href="http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm?page=products/details&CRID=4&CONTENTID=5042&countryid=19&languageid=1">Logitech QuickCam pro 4000</a>. I plugged it to my Linux machine. The usbview showed unknown device. I cannot find /dev/video or /dev/v4l at all. Does any succeed to make a Web camera work ever? What Web cameras or scanners are supported?
