Your post to at least these five newsgroups is not on topic. Please
confine your whining to comp.os.linux.advocacy, where someone might care.
If you absolutely must post the same article to more than one newsgroup,
first determine that the article is on topic for that group, and then
include the newsgroup names in a comma separated list in the 'Newsgroups:'
header. Do not post to more that five newsgroups, as that is generally
considered spamming. Read the fine RFC1855, and find out why.

Why have you multi-posted this and made us look at it in multiple
newsgroups? A simple cross-post with follow-ups set would have
been more than enough.
Also, when you post dates, you might use ISO standard dating, to
avoid confusion across cultures. I doubt that yesterday was
2006-03-04.

Re: Wireless Adapter Works better in Windows, WTF!

was glad to see that it works in SUSE 10. The thing though is it seems to
get a better signal when I use it in Windows XP then when I use it in SUSE
10. Another thing I noticed is the green LED on the back of it only comes
on when I'm in Windows.
Right now I'm getting the feeling it has something to do with the linux
driver. I didn't have to install anything to get it to work in SUSE. I
just set it up with YAST and I had it working in less then 5 minutes. It
actually took longer to set up in Windows XP. I'm using the drivers that
came with the CD to install on XP.
I just want to know why I get a piss pore signal when using Linux. Don't
ask me the chipset, I don't know. I've had it for weeks. I didn't even
noticed the signal difference between Windows and Linux until a day or go.
I almost never use Windows.

I had the same puzzle until I discovered that using the supplied
software/drivers that came with my BT Voyager 54g PCMCIA card,
ndiswrapper and Knoppix/Debian 4.0 (kernel 2.6.11) I oculd access the
power settings for the device (not just the hardware switch, I mean the
whole shebang) so I could set the transmit power from 0% to 100% in 10%
increments, and the gain... well, I just whacked that straight up, with
a filter on the TCP layer if the thing overdeviated. Job done. |

Nathaniel Dube wrote:
| Quote: | I have an external 56k modem and an internal PCI wireless adapter on my
upstairs computer. I have the exact same wireless adapter on my down
stairs computer. I'm to cheap to buy a router. Is there anyway I can
setup SUSE 10 on the upstairs computer to turn the wireless adapter into a
router and share my external dialup connection with the down stairs
computer?
At one point in time I plugged the external modem into the down stairs
computer. I installed and setup DHCP and DNS and turned the on-board LAN
into a wired router. I was able to get a internet connection going to my
brother's PS2. I don't remember for the life of me how I did that.
I managed to setup DHCP and DNS on the upstairs computer and I was able to
get the downstairs computer to connect to the upstairs one via wireless
network. SUSE 10 told me it was able to get IP address assigned to it and
I was even able to access files on the system. How ever I was still unable
to get the downstairs computer to access the internet via the external
modem I have on the upstairs computer. I have the network working and the
upstairs computer is working as a wireless router. So I'm half way there.
Now I just need to figure out how to share the internet through the
network. Any ideas?
|
Does the downstairs computer have a global (as opposed to local) IP address?
If not, you may have to enable NAT (network address translation) in the
kernel.
Also, what services are allowed to go through the firewall (if any) on
the upstairs
computer?

OK, we've got a serious troll here, folks. Apache servers for web pages, DNS

printing services, the mail services, are all vastly more reliable and
secure when run under Linux and other UNIX like operating systems than they
are in Windows. And there are a lot of companies that frankly throw out
Windows for such core services because the Linux or UNIX systems run more
securely and more reliably: I've helped companies do it.

Install what is for free. Clam is usually recommended.
Use google to find what applies. Subscribe to appropriate newsgroups.
Google will find archives of the newsgroups as will groups.google.com.
But above all, stop worrying. Linux is nothing like windows. When I
was a newbie some seven years ago I knew nothing and have NEVER been

Hi
I am trying to autodetect a Canon Powershot G6 digital camera to my
machine using digikam. As root, the camera is properly auto-detected and
connected. As a normal user, that fails. I cannot even seem to specify
which ports to look at (auto-detection as root reports usb: - probably a
udev quirk, something I am not familiar with).
Sounds like a permissions problem. What do I check / fix ?
This could be a group permissions problem. Depending on the system
you're using the sub-division of permissions to access particular parts
of the system can be very finely defined. Make sure that the user is a
member of the 'camera' and/or 'usb' group, if they exist on your system.
/etc/group has a list of all the available groups and typing 'groups
username' at the command-line reveal what groups that user is member of.
See also:
man group
man groups
Or check /etc/fstab to see that the mount point for your camera is
mountable by 'users'.
HTH

Thanks for the hint. For anyone else that might need a reference - the group
that the user needs to be a member is called "plugdev". Membership to the
group "camera" by itself (haven't checked for the plugdev only case) does
not make a difference.
I am running hald (the abstraction layer) and plugdev allows members to
connect to devices that may be plugged in.
digikam works perfectly now. |

RHEL is a server distro, which might not work if your hardware is

I'd start over with a recent Knoppix live CD and see if this
works better. You could try the current Fedora Core (4 or 5) this
