Problems with broadcom wlan adapter and wlan-button.

I've got a laptop (HP Compaq 6715S), which has an integrated wlan adapter (broadcom 4311/4312?). A couple of weeks ago the adapter was working ok with ndiswrapper and bcmwl5.inf driver, but it stopped working recently probably after ndiswrapper and/or kernel upgrade. Loading the ndiswrapper module from rc.conf made the whole system kernel panic (IRQ problem?) until I added:
acpi=noirq
to the kernel boot parameters. Now this error doesn't occur every time I load ndiswrapper, but the problem still exists. BCM43xx driver doesn't work either. I'm using the 64-bit arch.
in my rc.conf I have:
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
MOD_BLACKLIST=(pcspkr joydev bcm43xx bluetooth hci_usb pcmcia yenta_socket pcmcia_core)

The other problem that I have is the wlan-button: The wlan adapter isn't always turned on at boot and I have found no way to turn it on from linux. It can be turned on by booting to windows or resetting the bios to defaults, but it is not very nice. I've noticed that pressing the wlan button adds one usb device:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03f0:171d Hewlett-Packard
Is there a way to fix these problems?

When I used to use ndiswrapper, just downloading one of the generic INF files didn't do the trick for me. I had to go to my manufacturer's homepage and download it there extract the drivers from the exe and use them in order to get my card work reliably.
Also, have you used a 64 bit driver? This guy reckons you need it:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … ost2952703
I guess I solved it. I have been using the 64-bit driver, but have tried the 32-bit driver from hp diver site too. For some reason ndiswrapper seems to install a driver named "ndiswrapper" with this 32-bit driver, which is why it didn't work. So my solution was:
1) Get the 32-bit driver from hp.com
2) rmmod ndiswrapper
3) remove all installed ndiswrapper drivers: ndiswrapper -r <drivername>
4) installed the 32-bit driver: ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
5) ndiswrapper -l gave me:
bcmwl5 : driver installed
device (14E4:4312) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)
ndiswrapper : invalid driver!
6) Got rid of the weird ndiswrapper driver inside ndiswrapper: ndiswrapper -r ndiswrapper
7) modprobe ndiswrapper
Rebooted a couple of times and it seems to work ok.
How about the wlan-button problem?

Problem with file sender adapter and endSeparator

Hy,
have the following situation: with a sender File adpater i have to receive the same structure of data but in two mode.
1) First mode : each recorset is defined as a file line
   Example (not fields separator):
   fielda,fieldb,fieldc
   field2a,field2b,field2c
2) Second mode : recorset of the same line without end
    separator and fieldseparator
   Example (not fields separator):
   fielda,fieldb,fieldc,field2a,field2b,field2c,......
I configured the adapter as follow.
structure.fieldFixedLengths      1,2,3
structure.fieldNames             field1,field2,field3
structure.lastFieldsOptional     YES
structure.processFieldNames      fromConfiguration
structure.endSeparator           'nl'
PROBLEM
Mode 1) works but mode 2) doesn't work.
Could anyone solve my problem??
Thank's
Mati

Hi,
Try using two differnt record structure name for each mode.for eg give it as structure1 and structure2.then u give the content conversion parameter for both the recordset depending on ur requirement i.e, with and without end seperator.

Problem with an HTML snippit and PayPal button - cant figure this one out?

Hello Mac people. We are really good with these things but this one has got us completely foxed.
We've done a tribute website in iWeb 08 for a friend and his family that were tragically murdered in November 2006 - the address is www.yemi.co.uk
We are trying to add a PayPal Donate button to the Charity Page.
Simple right? We went to our PayPal account, set up the button, previewed it (perfect), copied the code, pasted it into an iWeb HTML snippet window, clicked Apply and the PayPal button appeared on the page... Great, thats sorted right? Nope.
What happens after we publish to our .MAC account is that the PayPal button, when clicked, tries to load the entire PayPal page into the frame / area within the actual PayPal button, which is a tiny, on the iWeb page.
What we want it to do is just link to PayPal in a new window.
Tried everything we can think of to solve it including PayPal technical service, .MAC assistance etc... 3 days later we admit defeat!
Anyone have a clue what we've done wrong? Much appreciated.
Regards from the UK
[email protected]

Hi, just a quick update. We managed to solve this one by adding this to the first line of code that PayPal generates after it has been pasted into the Snippit window: target="newFormWindow" - it forces the page to open in a new window and gets round the problem we were having.
Hope this helps somebody else out in the future. Thanks.

PLEASE HELP! Problems with Cisco WLAN and WPA encryption

I checked the threads and didn't see this posted. I have a Cisco WLAN card in my T42_2373_C88. It's a very unfortunate thing that this wireless LAN card/wireless config. utitlity doesn't support WPA encryption. I'm not entirely sure that it's the problem with the WLAN card, and the reason for this is that I initially set up a network through the Windows config. utility bypassing the IBM utility (which I can no longer do). I wasn't actually able to connect to my local network until I completely removed the profile for my home network in the access connections, only then was I able to connect (WPA-PSK (TKIP)). I saw some drivers available for my make and model on the lenovo.com driver site. I downloaded the drivers and went through device manager specifying the folder where the drivers were located and the drivers were not recognized by windows as valid drivers. Unless specifically told otherwise, I don't want to manually override and load these drivers. This is a business machine, and this specific wireless function is VERY critical.
Thanks

try using URLConnection instead of HTTPConnection.

I have a problem with the effect gallery and the saving libraries in Illustrator CS6

Hi everybody
I have a problem with the effect gallery and the saving libraries in Illustrator
1. When you go to to effects > effect Gallery the the sketch filter always is black and white. Is this normal? In Photoshop you can set your background and foreground and the sketch effects takes those colors. Is there any way to do this in Illustrator? I have tried changing the colour of the fill and stroke but nothing...
2. In the same area as before effects > effect Gallery .... In Photoshop you can add multiple filters with the create new button. Always is off is there anyway to make it available? or the only way is to by creating several individual ones and manage then in the appearance panel ...
3. I saved a brush library and now it appears in the user defined area so I can get it in any document, that is good but any one knows how to delete a user undefined library?
Many thanks in advance for the help .... I look forward for the reply =)

I see that it is six months ago that I first posted this. Nothing has changed. When I use affixa to create a message with an attachment from my gmail account in firefox, the message is created in drafts, but the gmail window is closed and I have to re-open it. Not critical, but annoying.
Now there is a plug-in on the affixa site that is supposed to be designed for Firefox, and which affixa support claims should take care of this. And I've downloaded it twice. When you download it and open it, it says that it will be installed when Firefox restarts, and gives you a button to restart Firefox. But after you click that button and firefox disappears and re-appears, the affixa plug-in is NOT in the plugin list.
Please, somebody, HELP.

Problem with whitespace then loading and saving xml

i do not know how to handle this problem. i modifed a texteditor to send XML to a server and load XML back to the container.
but then i do changes to the Textlayout it shows up like this --->
Text in Container not modifed
Text in Container modifed ---> with space beween the colorchanged string
Text inContainersend and loaded ---> i think this has something to to with the
TextFilter.export(_textFlow,TextFilter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT,ConversionType.XML_TYPE)
can someone give me a hint...

Hi,
the link is --->
http://www.horstmann-architekten.de/contentmanagment/SimpleEditor.html
its a modified example of the texteditor provided by Adobe. You can send a xml to the server. and also read it from the server. You just use the xml identifer to give the xml a name.
Try it out:
1. change the text and
2. give a XML-Identifer
   and then send it to the server. --> send to server
3. type in the XML-Identifer you have used and
4.   load it from the server ---> Load from Server Button
evering works ok exept the columns formating.
I Think the colums Formating is not embeded in the XML as it should be. I attached the Files. (Newbie programmer)
With best regards

Sounds like you have two different issues going on: (1) inline graphics aren't coming out correctly when you use the TextLineFactory, and (2) columns aren't working correctly. It's difficult for me to tell by looking at the application you link what is going wrong. One of the examples does seem to have columns working -- can you be more specific about what you're doing, and what results you are seeing? As for the inline graphics, there is a timing issue involved with using URLs, due to the asynchronous loading. See this comment in the docs for TextFlowTextLineFactory:
Note: When using inline graphics, the source property of the InlineGraphicElement object   must either be an instance of a DisplayObject or a Class object representing an embedded asset.   URLRequest objects cannot be used. The width and height of the inline graphic at the time the line   is created is used to compose the flow.

Thanks,

I have a problem with mi iPad 3 and iCloud.

I have a problem with my iPad 3 and iCloud.
First. When i try to turn on the automatico downloads of apps and music on my ipad ican't. I put on the buttons but they automaticly turn into off.
Second. I have an macbook with iWork and mi iPad has iWork too but i can use iCloud because the documents that i create in the iPad doen't go online.
I did a little research and i think the troubles are because apple didn't associate mi ipad with my apple id, i had retored mi ipad a lot of times and it doen's fix the problem.
What do i can do?
I'm sorry but i'm learning english, so i'm sorry if you have a hard time trying to understand.
Thank you

Hi Omar1510,
If resetting your iPad allows it to charge, but only temporarily, you may want to make sure that you have your data backed up and try restoring the device (you may want to test the charging before reloading your data). You may find the following article helpful:

Issue with JMS inbound Adapter and Asynchronous BPEL

Hi Gurus,
I am facing the below issue with JMS inbound Adapter and Asynchronous BPEL .
I have 2 JMS Queues one inbound and one outbound . The Composite has multiple BPEL Components around 4 on an average and i have 4 composites similar to that .
Totally 4 Composites * 4 BPEL Components = 16 Services
Propoesd Solution :
I have used MessageSelector in the JMS Adapter for selecting the incoming message. The BPEL gets invoked if the message selector is true and proceses the Message and writes the response to the other Queue.
Initially i had no problems but intermittantly the BPEL processes are getting invoked but they are not processing the data ( Bpel process is supposed to invoke an external service and get the response in a sync call) and each BPEL processe instance is in running state for ever . This remains even if i restart the servers .
The message gets read by the JMS Adapter , BPEL instace gets created but it wont proceed futher and remains in the runnign state for ever.
If i redeploy the Composite then messages get processed but the issue creeps up again ( i tried to checl the logs but ino cluea about the issue .
Getting frustrated day by day tried the bpel.config.transaction, increased the JMS Adapter threads , inreased the worker threads but all in vein..
please let me know if any one has faced similar issue .
Anticipating a quick response from the gurus.
Lakshmi.

We are also facing this issue in 11.1.1.5.
Breifly the issue is : The BPEL process which polls an inbound JMSAdater ( consume_message) either stays in running state forever ( whatever we do) or go to the recovery queue. It doesnt recover even if i try to recover it. This happens intermittently. Redeploying the application / restarting servers sometime solve the issue but as know we cant do that on prod systems .
Can some one look into this on priority and help us giving a solution/workaround.

iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.

The message says: "The payment method has been denied, try another method"
I'm living in the same country and city since I was born, so I don't think the location is the problem.
