Troubles with 3Com 3crshpw196 card (2.6.4) WLAN (solved)

hi, I finally mnaged to get arch (2.6.4-1 kernel) into my laptop without the use of floppy (its usb -so it cant load root), or cd-rom (stupid - cant boot from it)
what i did was that i put my laptop hd into my workstation, booted from cd and installed it on the little drive. then i put the hd back into my laptop and booted.. it works.. (almost..)
before i put the drive back into my laptop i did a pacman -Syu just to get things up to date.
i then installed (with pacman) wireless_tools , wlan.ng , pcmcia-cs , and downloaded the driver from the http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net/.
the reason for these packages is that i need my 3Com 3crshpw196 pcmcia card to work since its the only way this pc can access anything (ultraportable without standard network card).
"enabled" the pcmcia daemon in rc.conf
cardctl ident gives me this:
Socket 0:
product info: "3Com", "3CRSHPW_96 Wireless LAN PC Card"
manfid: 0x0101, 0x0696
function: 6 (network)
cat /var/lib/pcmcia/stab gives me this :
Socket 0: unsupported card
ifconfig -a gives me :
lo bla bla bla
sit0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00.......
but i have no idea what the last interface it prints out is :
-00
NOARP MTU:1480 Metric:1
RX packets:0 <and everything else is 0>
iwconfig gives me "lo" and "sit0"
in dmesg i found this :
Yenta: CArdBus bridge found at 0000:00:0b.1 [1179:0001]
Yenta: ISA IRQ mask 0x0800, PCI irq 0
it seems to me like the system identifies the socket as the yenta_socket, but I cant modprobe it, --> FATAL: Module yenta_socket not found.
cardctl identified the card corrctly, but neither cardmgr (or whatever its called) or myself are able to modprobe the atmel_cs module which from what I have read have been in the kernel since 2.5.x.
and just to top the hole thing; for some reason I couldnt compile the atmel driver from sourceforge either...
since i have to write all these system-messages for hand I'm not giveing you a printout of all the compile errors (and i should probably post that thing at the sourceforge forum too) , but it seemed like it couldt find the "mach_apicdef.h"
/lib/modules/2.6.4/build/include/asm/smp.h:71:26: mach_apicdef.h: No such file or directory
iit actually complained alot about /lib/modules/2.6.4/build/include/asm files in general...
the reason for the "apic-related errors"? might be that i dont have apic on my laptop (i dont even have a clue what apic is good for)
so basicly what I need is some tips on how to get my 3Com card working.
are the problems caused by the fact that I installed pcmcia-stuff on the harddrive while it was in another machine without pcmcia ?
or are there some bugs in a arch-pcmcia packages (perhaps not that likely since im not alone trying to run arch on a laptop)
or is this simply one of those "reinstall and everything is ok"
by the way.. i know the card works great in linux, 'cause it did just that in suse..
finally.. sorry for this huge post... i simply just wrote everything i knew about my issue..
thanx

With what you've described, I don't think you need wlan-ng (the one in the repos right now is compiled for the 2.4 series anyway, so it's not helpful).
I think your best option, at the moment, is to compile your own kernel. Check this thread for steps to do so: http://www.archlinux.org/docs/en/guide/ … ml#SEC6.13
One thing that it's missing (and I've submitted a bug report for it) is removing the md5sums from the PKGBUILD. After copying your custom config file, you need to edit the PKGBUILD and remove the md5sums line.

[K7N2] Trouble with dual graphics cards

I have a K7N2-DeltaL (Barton 2600+) which I have used for a while with a Radeon 9600 AGP@8x. To use multiple displays I installed a Radeon9200 PCI graphics card.
However, I am having trouble getting it to work. The new card works fine alone, both in this and another computer. It works ok together with another AGP-card (GeForce2) on a Abit K7T with Duron 800.
I have only gotten it to work for a few minutes once, long enough to install drivers etc. Ran it for a while but ended in a BSOD (endless-loop). Otherwise one of the following scenarios occur:
1) with "Init AGP first" the computer boots but fails to initialize the PCI-video, works ok otherwise.
2) with "Init PCI first" the computer fails to boot (stops in "Check RTC" according to D-bracket LEDs, or come to think about it, I think it actually only shows one red and no green, have to check that when I am back at it)
3) with "Init PCI First" the computer POSTs but shuts down and can't be started without removing the power cord
If after 3) I remove the *AGP* card, it still won't boot until I remove the power cable. After this it works fine with just the PCI-card.
I am dual booting with XP Professional and WinME, but as it doesn't even get that far I am failing to see that this might matter.
I am thinking "PSU", but am amazed that it worked in the other computer with the older PSU and not in the new 300W (have not found any Amp-specs).
Any advice?

I would have thought that the PCI card used the same power whether it is "init first" or not. Also I would have thought that a power problem would more probably be an unstable computer rather than an unbootable one.
Could a few more AMPs on the PCI-bus really make that much (consistent) difference?

Having trouble with my Sound Card (Sound Blaster Xtreme).

Hey everyone..
I just recently got a new PC -- and I can't for the love me get the sound card to produce sound. I know it works (I tried in Windows), but I can't seem to get it working correctly in linux.
It is, as reported in KDE..a "Creative Labs [SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA0110-IBG" . I've found some info on the net about it..but it all seems very out-dated..linking often to links that no longer exist. Could anyone possibly help me get this working?
Thanks!
Joe.

The chip/card is probably not supported by ALSA. Have you tried the OSS driver http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OSS yet?

Satellite L755-16J - Trouble with sound card

I currently own a Toshiba *Satellite L755-16J* and it is having some sort of trouble with the sound card, i think.
When i bought it, it came with windows 7, i changed the windows to windows 8 and since then the audio has been troubling me.
The internal speakers work for a minute or two when i play an audio file but then stop working.
i had been using an external usb soundcard and external speakers for some time but decided to switchback to windows 7 for the sound to work properly again. even though i have switched back to win 7, the sound still doesnt work.
I am quite sure that the problem is not in the internal speakers because they do work, although just for a brief moment but they work, so i am guessing the problem is in the software instead of the hardware.
i tried updating the sound drivers but they seem to be up to date, according to windows the drivers "seem to be working properly"
Can anyone help?

> even though i have switched back to win 7, the sound still doesnt work.
How did you do that?
Did you use the Toshiba Recovery Disk in order to install Win 7 or did you install the Win 7 using fresh and clean Windows 7 disk?
The notebook supports Conexant sound chip. The sound driver is available on the Toshiba EU driver page and in case the sound chip is already recognized in device manager after the sound driver installation, I assume the driver has been installed properly.
In such case I would recommend you to connect the headphones.
In case the headphones would function properly, the speakers might be affected. I mean the hardware. But of course its only an idea.
Beside the headphone check, you could check also the settings within the control panel -> sound -> playback tab.
Usually the speakers should be set as default device.
Check this option too.

Troubles with videocard dv6-6179er

After installing and using win 8.1 on my notebook, i decided to install AMD Catalist Center, because before it screen driver was installed automatically by windows, so, after installing driver for my Radeon HD 6500 M from official site , notebook starvated with black screen. After that I tried to install drivers from your site and from official site on win 7, win 8 . Results: installation process... "display driver is installing" screen should turn off three or more times, but after seccond extinction notebook is starvated. And next starting up is not successful, asking to recover system, after that process no video drivers on notebook is located.
More, I tried to recover system to factory parameters from CD, but after full recovery system is not started like after the installation video drivers, that is why i think that total trouble with my video card. What should I do? Thanks!

Hello @VladimirRus ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the computer is experiencing all sorts of graphics issues. It definitely does seem like the hardware is failing, but I will suggest a couple things to try.
Since you reinstalled the OS, try installing the graphics driver again:
AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver
Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver
*Windows 7 is the only supported OS on this computer. I would have to advise only using Windows 7 64-bit.
If that doesn't help, I would call HP phone support, to possibly address the hardware. You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks!

Sick and tired of all the problems with itunes gift card codes.HELP me get this thing to exectp the stupid code!!!

Stop this insanity!! These gift card problems need to be sorted out or we are done with itunes all together.

Stop this insanity!!
You're not talking directly to Apple folks here, nord. We're a user-to-user troubleshooting forum.
If you want to guarantee that an Apple person hears you, you could try using the iTunes product feedback form. Here's a link to that:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Just checking (while you're here) ... have you contacted the iTunes Store about your particular gift card issue, as per the following document?
iTunes Store: Invalid, inactive, or illegible codes
... or are you having a different sort of trouble with your gift card?

[875P Neo Series] trouble with AMI 3.6 bios

ever since i flashed my system with the newest bios (AMI 3.6) for my board ...ive had weird trouble with my graphics cards ...so now i want the old one that came with the board back instead ..but dumb as i was i didnt make backup of it :/ can someone with this board plz try to help me out with that def bios?
i would be very thankful ...ive tried everywhere to find it ..but no luck ...
hopefully ill get some help here ...my last hope i think

Relax, I have a sulotion to youre problem. All the BIOS ver. are availeble on MSI's
site. Here is the link, just pick the one you want.
A little tip, start Live update and macke a rescue disk. When you made the disk, close live update. Rename the BIOS file(e.g A6758IMS.360) you wanna flash to AMIBOOT.ROM, and paste it onto the rescue disk. Say yes to overwrite the existing file. Put the disk in youre floppydrive and rebot.
This works fine on my system.
Anyway, good luck:biggthumbsup:

Permissions trouble with new MacBook Pro

I had previously upgraded my MacBook Pro (original unibody model) to Mountain Lion with no apparent issues. I have two Users, both with Admin status and everything appeared to function as before.
I just traded in my old MacBook Pro for a new current model Retina MacBook Pro, using Migration Assistant upon first startup to move everything over from the older machine. Most everything has been seamless - except for Permissions.
I started seeing messages appear indicating I didn't have permission to open files, run apps, delete files, etc. Looking at Get Info, I found Sharing & Permissions was only set up for (if I recall correctly) Admin, Administrator and something called Wheel. I solved the permissions issue while logged in as the primary User by adding both Users to the Sharing & Permissions section of the Info screen for the entire hard drive, giving them Read & Write access, and selecting Apply to enclosed items... That seems to have solved the issue for the primary User.
But then I tried working logged in as the secondary User. I started getting messages indicating I could not save a file I had just modified because I did not have permission, and that I should contact the Administrator. Well, that's me. So I tried the same thing that I did logged in as the primary User, but there was no change. I still can't save a modified file logged in as the secondary Admin User.
I haven't found anything that addresses this - except to learn where the Wheel User originated. Can someone point me in the right direction to where I can learn how to gain full, unlimited access to my own computer - under bothe User accounts?
Thank you.

You corrupted the permissions of every file on the volume. Restore everything from the backup you made before doing that. Then do as follows.
Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.The video breaks up and pixelizes when it's directly imported from the memory card. That makes the video useless. Why does this happen? It doesn't do that in any other video editing software. Thanks for the help.

Was the card formatted in the camera doing the shooting?
Type of files the camera is set to record?

I have a Lucid 2 LG. I have been having trouble with insuffient storage. I have a 8G phone and have spent hours with Tier 2 tech trying to move info from the internal storage to the SD card with no luck, When I go to storage in the settings it states that over 4 gigs is for Misc? System data takes up over 4 gigs. No one can tell me what system data consist of. So My question is does anyone know what system data is? I am assuming I have a 8 gigphone but can only use 4 gigs???

System data is the OS or operating system. That is where the recovery stays separated from the rest of the storage so that it doesn't get corrupted. It is not accessible and non-movable.
