Back in June, Michael Rice asked for source to a GLD driver.
There were no pointers to source at that time.
Bruce pointed him in the direction of the pure documentation, which I have
already found, and also suggested he do full DLPI instead.Huh? You've mis-read what I wrote. I did not suggest that. I described
three different driver-writing scenarios to consider with three different
solutions and one of the solutions I suggested is write a GLD-based driver.
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=640318621&fmt=text
I did not specifically identify which scenario I thought matched Michael's
situation, but it should be obvious which one matches, so I don't see how
you decided I suggested "he do a full DLPI instead".
Does anyone at sun know of source that can be made public, for a network
driver that implements GLD?Like I said previously, "don't hold your breath waiting for Sun to do
the right thing with GLD". The managers who "own" GLD have their heads
up their butts so the more reasonable your request the less likely it
is that it will ever be satisfied. Releasing a sample GLD-based driver
and the source for GLD itself has been suggested so many times that
the pointy-haired managers must think they've done it already. I have
copies of email that discuss releasing the GLD sources going back to at
least 1995.
There are always gotchas to documentation, so I'm figuring just having the
docs [which arent even put in HTML form] is going to at least double my
work time on this.If you're lucky. I suggest you get a software-only support contract (which
is around a couple of hundred bucks) and use it to force Sun to answer any
GLD questions that come up. Just make certain you get your answers from the
engineering staff and not just the tech support telephone people or escalation
engineer (since none of them have any real GLD experience).

According to
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/source/
all Solaris 8 sources are going to be released. You can sign up to get notified when the release happens (it says "early in the third quarter 2000").

Driver source for TI PCIxx12 Flashmedia controller

I have an NW9440 laptop which has a Texas Instruments PCIxx12 flash media card reader (PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_803B&CC_0180).
The drivers for this card were updated by HP or TI for Win XP 32 bit to support SDHC cards (SD cards over 4GB). Support for 64 bit operating systems was also added at some stage, unfortunately it would seem that the SDHC card support didn't make it into the 64 bit code, or if it did, the latest driver level (SP43509) doesn't work right on Windows 7 x64.
I opened a case for this, but HP have declined to look at the problem saying:
"there are no Windows 7 drivers tested or released for this unit. hp recommend only Windows XP, VISTA and 2000 OS for this unit and for these all the drivers are available."
As HP seem to have lost interest in support for this, please will you authorise Texas Instruments to release the driver sources to me so that I can fix them myself.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hmmm, I am now very confused.
As an experiment I uninstalled and deleted the Sony driver using Device Manager, and used Device Manager to re-install the SP43509 driver (manually browsing to the "C:\Swsetup\SP43509 TI PCIxx12 Drivers\Windows\tiinst\Vista64" folder).
Now the SP43509 driver works perfectly and recognises SDHC cards just as it did on XP 32 bit which it never did before.
I can't understand why it refused to recognise SDHC cards previously and now they work, but either way I'm a lot happier than I was ...
So thanks again.

Connecting Ipod and External Hard Drive Source at the Same Time

As I have a laptop computer with limited hard drive space, I connected an external hard drive source to store my music and photos and other non essentials. I received a 5G IPod for Christmas and the only issue I am having is that my IPod will not work if it is connected to my computer at the same time as my external hard drive. This poses a difficulty for me because I do not have the space on my computer to store the music that I would like to add to my IPod. If anyone knows how to resolve this issue, I would be eternally grateful. Please forgive me if this topic has already been addressed.

as of right now this cantb be fixed.... i have the same probelem... we and thousands of other people are going to have to wait until this relase a fix for this probelem... sorry i feel for you

Compiling IVI-C driver source code

I'd like to make some fixes into source code of IVI-C driver 'cause I have found some SCPI-command bugs in there.
What are main steps in compiling the source code, which library function I must include (VISA-library?)?.
I'm using LabView 7.1 and the driver in question is agpsgmxg (source code file is agpsgmxg.c) which I have downloaded from NI's idnet.
I have MS Visual Studio environment.

In CVI you would use Ctrl+K for compiling and then you would re-create the DLL and replace or rename it the existing one that is in IVI/Bin or IVIFoundation/Bin. Can you send feeback to [email protected] mentioned with the bugs found in the driver? So we can document and look into the issue?

Driver sources pointing finger at each other

I have an old printer, Epson SP1270. On the Epson site, the driver for PPC is available, but for Intel, it says "The latest Mac OS X 10.6 driver for your Epson product is available only via Apple's Software Update. Here's how to get it:
1. Connect the printer to your Mac and power the printer on.
2. Click Apple and select Software Update.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the available updates"
That went well, and it showed the driver "installing" (I assume a web-direct install). It made little progress after 15 minutes, so I went off to do errands. Upon my return, I see a message "The software is currently unavailable". Does that mean the driver is forever gone or that the server is just flaky today?

I am not sure why there's a glitch in Software Update, but you could try downloading the drivers from Epson directly or download the update from Apple:

Hope this helps.

Windows 2008 Cluster question on using a new cluster drive source from shrinking existing disk

I have a two node Windows 2008 R2 enterprise SP1 cluster. It has a basic cluster setup of one (Q:)quorum disk and data disk (E:) which is 2.7tb is size. This cluster is connected to a shared Dell Disk array.
My question is can I safely shrink the 2.7tb drive down and carve out a disk size of 500gb from the same disk and use for a new cluster disk resource. We want to install Globalscape SFTP software on this new disk for use as a cluster resource.
Will this work without crashing the cluster.
Thanks,

Multiple music drive sources messes up song locations in iTunes XML library

I have had my music on an external hard drive for a number of years now. Most of my music library is on that drive (75+GB), but some (including all purchased stuff) is on my local C: drive. I often launch iTunes without my external drive (USB) connected and it has always worked fine with just the music on my local drive. Recently, I connected the external drive to recycle some music on/off my iPod. When I did this, none of the songs on the external drive were available anymore (! shows up). All the music is there, but somehow the iTunes library XML file got screwed up. When I opened up the XML file, it contains all the songs, but their original locations (which were F: drive) now point to my local C: location. I am really upset that iTunes would do this without my intervention. Why can’t it leave file locations alone? Do I need to reload everything again (File->Add Folder)? Are there any shortcuts or ways to prevent this from happening again? This has happen to me a few times of the years. Thanks…
Dell Laptop Windows XP

As you've found, if you go ahead and use iTunes when
the external drive isn't connected, iTunes defaults
the library locations back to the C: drive....and
messes up your iTunes library.
Mmmm... actually, that shouldn't happen. I did this same thing for quite a while with no issues. It never moved all my files to a new "location" that way. Only thing that happens was that the library location setting got defaulted to C:, the file pointers themselves remained unchanged.
I don't know how he accomplished this, but you are right that there's no quick fix.

Compiling a driver, need assistance on kernel source configuration

Hello BBS.
I am compiling a module for the Asus PCE N53 wireless pci-e card. I have obtained the driver source, and followed the instructions, and have gotten to the point where I need assistance. The instructions requires the kernel source, i have successfully obtained and configured it using the Command line prompt, except for one feature. I need to enable the intel IPW2200 driver code in the kernel source for this driver. What procedure do I follow to enable it?

> I know in face value, that my request may seem odd. I just need to use the source of the kernel, not a new kernel... I have found that what I am requesting... will fix the problem, based on a Gentoo solution: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-93 … art-0.html. Needing to know how to configure the kernel source to enable the intel driver still stands. The source I am using is the latest arch kernel source.

PCnet Solaris Sparc Driver

Does anyone know if there is a driver for the AMD PCnet family of PCI Ethernet devices on the SPARC architecture?
I know that there is a Solaris driver available for Intel architecture from AMD but I can find no reference to a Sparc driver.
If one doesn't exist - are there any recommendations on companies or individuals that write network device drivers?
David Smith, BVM Ltd.
[email protected]

If you are using Solaris 9, I remember I read they support gld type drivers. You should be able to use the intel gld driver from AMD.
Else you can use as a base the ae driver.
I wrote myself a driver for the AMD976 four our products. Unhappily, I can not provide the source code.

Writing and including our own customer data source to Crystal Report Design

Hi,
I need to create a Crystal Report based on a locally stored XML and schema. I can do this but the issue Iu2019m facing is that some tags used in the schema and the format is not supported by Crystal. So my plan is to write a database driver which will take our format and then convert it to the format Crystal supports and vise versa. To do this before writing the driver I need to know if itu2019s possible to include my custom database driver source in to the list that is shown in the Crystal Report Designer when selecting a data source to create a report. Is there such an API available so that I can plugin my data source to Crystal Report Designer? Is this at least possible to do or is there another way?
Hope you can help me.
Thanks you in advance.
Regards,
Chanaka

Hi Chanaka,
Not directly. If you base your driver on OLD DB or ODBC then it will show up in those lists.
If you are planning on selling a lot of packages then you may want to contact our OEM Sales team and sign up. You'll have more resources to do customized features like this. Not sure if we can but the option is there.
Thank you
Don

Can't use correct driver for Canon MF4140 USB printer shared by Windows XP

Hi all,
I have a Canon MF4140 printer connected to my Windows XP desktop machine via USB. The printer is shared and I can see it over the network with my MacBook running OS-X 10.4.
I've downloaded the OS-X version of the printer driver from Canon, but I can't select it when adding the printer in OS-X, so I can't access any of the printer settings. I've selected the generic driver but that doesn't allow me to do double sided or 2-up printing.
Is this because the printer driver does not support network printing, as the printer doesn't have a network interface?

I guess this isn't clear on the iFelix page. To use any of the built-in network printing protocols on OS X, you must either have a postscript printer (postscript printers don't require a driver, just a PPD), or a driver that works with the CUPS system (a CUPS driver). So far, Brother is the only non-postscript printer manufacturer that provides CUPS drivers. For every other non-postscript printer, you need a third-party CUPS driver. Apple tried to get around this issue by including Gimp-Print drivers (open source CUPS drivers), but your model isn't in Gimp-Print. You can look around for other CUPS drivers, but Lexmark hasn't been cooperative with driver writers. Here are the CUPS driver sources:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/
http://www.easysw.com/printpro/
http://www.printfab.net/
You may find it easier to share from OS X.

HP DeskJet 712c Driver and Wireless Print Server Setup

I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and am unable to setup my printer to print. Previous to using the MacBook Pro I was using a windows machine without any trouble printing to this printer, however now I can't locate the printer on a list of pre-installed drivers for Mac. I've already checked HP's website and was unable to find any drivers that were for Mac OS. What is a good alternative driver source? Once I do get the driver what would my next steps need to be to set up the wireless print server to work with my mac?
Printer: HP DeskJet 712c
Wireless Print Server: D-Link DP-311P
I would be grateful for guidance to go about this process so that I can use my printer again.
MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

HP-provided drivers don't support network printing. You'll need to install Foomatic (a PPD interpreter), ESP ghostscript (postscript translator) and the 712c PPD from:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/
http://www.linuxprinting.org/showprinter.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet712C
Then, since we don't have the auto-setup software for OS X, you need to review the print server manual and find out which IP printing protocol to use. The easiest is HP Jetdirect (called TCP/IP raw port printing in many manuals) if it's available, because it doesn't require the device queue name.
Good luck.

Trying to repair Satellite A105-S4201 (driver/software issue)

I have been fixing a friend's laptop that had about 83 viruses on it, and ended up having to reinstall windows in order to get it to boot properly. I rebuilt a windows install disk using the I386 folder provided on her hard drive.
Everything checked out and windows activated seemlessly, but I am in fact still having a problem. The toshiba website does not seem to have the correct drivers or software for this product, as the following devices are still in need of a proper driver, according to my device manager:
-Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus
-SM Bus Controller
-Video Controller
-Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
the provided video driver fails to install, saying that there was no suitable device (was an nvidia driver on the site...prob doesnt even run on an nvidia card). The audio does not seem to work either. The last issue is that the media keys do not function properly. Is there some sort of driver source that can fill me in on these loose gaps? Been wrecking my mind for hours and im about to stroke out and tell her to buy some recovery cds.
Message Edited by dreamstate83 on 01-02-2009 02:28 AM

Updates! I now have every device in device manager matched up with appropriate drivers. The only issue remaining is with the keyboards extended functionality, including the media keys and the Functions for the f key row (such as increase/decrease brightness). Where is the software/drivers i need for this?
