  • Wireless Cards and Linux

    What are some wireless cards that play nice with linux?  Something that works out of the box for most distros and Arch?  This freaking belkin card isn't working, I'm going to sell it on eBay... Any suggestions?

    After recently playing with this myself I actually have some answers... your best bet is to get a wireless card that works with the linux-wlan-ng driver. This page gives you a list of PCMCIA, USB and PCI cards that work with the driver. I got a D-Link DWL-122 802.11b 11 Mbps USB Adapter... after you find an adapter that you like (and works) the key is configuring it.
    First of course you want to find the driver that works with your adapter out of the linux-wlan-ng set. My usb D-Link works with the prism2_usb module (driver). Reading the readme helps alot when trying to configure your card. So depending on if your card is USB or PCMCIA you will first have to modprobe your USB or PCMCIA module and then modprobe the corresponding linux-wlan-ng driver.
    Example:
    modprobe uhci_hcd
    modprobe prism2_usb
    wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
    wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=<your routers SSID name> authtype=opensystem
    dhcpcd wlan0
    To get all the packages you need:
    pacman -S wireless_tools wlan-ng26 (or wlan-ng24 for 2.4 kernel)
    and pcmcia-cs package for PCMCIA cards
    All of this will get you started with using a wireless card, but each time you reboot your machine you will lose your network info. So what you probably want to do is use a init script to startup each time you boot. There is a wlan script that comes with these packages located at /etc/rc.d/wlan
    I hope this helps!

  • Need Advice on a Laptop Wireless Card For Arch

    I have Arch running on my desktop and I'm loving it. I'm thinking about putting it on my laptop too. The problem there is that my laptop has a Broadcom wireless card that the Linux kernel doesn't recognize by default. The last time I tried to use Arch on my laptop, I had to reinstall the wireless driver every time the kernel was updated.
    Is there a internal wireless mini card I can buy and put in my laptop that Arch/Linux will be able to use without compiling anything? I'll buy whatever is needed to replace my Broadcom card and make my Linux experience better if you have any recommendations.

    ( Wifi 108Mbps super g  Wireless PC Card CardBus Atheros
    Model Number: WLG-1103)
    I bought one of these about 2 months ago and it works great on my two laptops. Dirt cheap (~10 bucks, no shipping) and no fidgeting involved. Just put it in the card bus thingo, turn on the laptop, it's all good. I think the drivers are in the kernel, as I don't recall installing any driver packages on either laptop at install-time, but I definitely didn't have to do anything manually. Atheros tends to work nicely in linux in my experience, and this is no exception.

  • Mythtv and Arch - a few problems

    Hi fellow Arch users
    I have a few dilemmas I wish to share about Arch and Mythtv and hopefully receive some feedback/answers for.
    Some background info:
    After trying Fedora, K/Ubuntu, and Zenwalk I settled on ArchLinux for both my main distro and my HTPC (mainly because of the start up speed and the lightweight feeling). I have been using Linux for a month or so now, so my knowledge is not all that great but I have managed to get most programs working with a bit of research. Its just I have a few problems with Mythtv that I am unable to solve.
    HTPC Specs
    Asrock mATX board (cant remember the model No.)
    AMD 1800+ Socket A
    512MB RAM
    80MB WD 7200RPM
    12x DVD ROM
    Geforce MX400
    DVICO Fusion HDTV Dual PCI
    Software
    Arch 2.6.16-20(latest available kernel)
    KDE (wish to switch to fluxbox when everything is working)
    Mythtv + plugins
    Questions & Problems:
    I've managed to get a functional Mythbox going. The small problems I am having include
    1.    No working remote/lirc
    2.    I can start mtd but when I press 0 to rip a DVD it does nothing.
    3.    when I quit out of mythtv-setup I get an error about ~/recordings/.test is not writable
    4.    cant get the 2nd tuner working – I managed to download the dvb-usb-bluebird firmware but I'm unsure where it goes (in Arch)
    5.    if I try to make the latest v4l-dvb it say I am missing lsmod or lnmod cant remember which
    6.    I get all channels at 10-15% but quality is very good, no hiccups, freezes etc. I cant get one channel though (SBS - I'm in Sydney, Australia)
    1.    I haven't really tried yet but any advice would be great
    2.    I imagine this might be a permission issue ie I have to run mythbackend under root
    3.    doesn't seem to be a problem (yet!)
    4.    running dmesg tells me it cant find the firmware for the usb-dvb but the pci part of the card works okay
    5.    I managed to compile an older v4l-dvb source (about a month old, the source that is). I didn't need it as everything is built into the 2.6.16 kernel (I was looking for get_usb_firmware but didn't realise I didn't need to compile it to use it)
    6.    I know its not my aerial because with a set-top-box I can get all channels including SBS with a signal strength of 80-100%
    If anyone can help I will be very grateful and if you require more info and I'll get it to you once I'm near the computer.
    Regards
    Jarrod

    Hi. I have the same card and I managed to get the USB part working following the instructions here
    http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux- … 09869.html
    I got the quincy tree and applied the patch attached to the post.
    But confusingly/fustratingly, I havent been able to get the pci part working. Can you tell me how you actually got the pci part to work?
    Check this post for the Dual remote
    http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux- … 08469.html
    I have a remote that came with a Dvico Plus board for which I have a custom patched and packged version of lirc that works if you need it.

    If you are just visiting Singapore, then leave the account as it is. If you have moved there, then view your account using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC and change the country/region to your current location and address. If you do not have a bank card, you can fund your account using iTunes gift cards if available in Singapore.

    I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

  • Dual boot Windows 7 (64) and Arch Linux (64) problems

    Hello:
    I am new to Arch Linux and just finished installing the 64bit on my laptop. It had a prebuilt Windows 7 (64) installed which I kept but split the hdd from 160Gb to 80Gb and 80Gb. I installed Arch there and set 4 partitions, all of them as Logical - a 64 MB ext2 /boot partition; a 512 MB swap partition; a 15 GB root partition; and the rest as my /home partition. My partitions look like this:
    Disk Drive: /dev/sda
    Size: 160041885696 bytes, 160.0 GB
    Heads: 255 Sectors per Track: 63 Cylinders: 19457
    Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB)

    sda6 Logical Linux 509.97*
    sda7 Logical Linux ext2 15002.92*
    sda8 Logical Linux ext2 57549.55*
    The install was succesful(this was running from the core install cd) and I installed GRUB to my /boot but when I restarted it loaded Windows 7. I have used Knoppix USB disc to boot and see my Arch Linux install files and edited the /boot/gur/menu.lst file.
    In Windows I installed EasyBCD 1.7.2 and tried to get NeoGrub bootloader working as a dual boot. I tried getting rid of the boot flag for Windows with cfdisk and setting it to my (Logical) sda5. That did not work. So far the only way I have booted into my Arch Linux install has been by going to the Live CD, choosing "Boot from Existing Linux Install" and editing the command files there.
    root (hd0,4)
    kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro
    initrd /kernel26.img
    My goal is to get a dual boot working for Windows 7 and Arch Linux 64 and continue installing the Xorg and KDE to Arch. I just don't know what the problem is here. I don't mind reinstalling Arch if something went wrong, but I would like to keep my Windows running in order and add Arch on.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I ran the LiveCD and chose "Install to MBR hd0". I ended up with this:
    setup hd(0,1)
    Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists.....yes
    Checking if "/boot/grub/iso9660_stage1_5" exists.....yes
    Running "embed /boot/grub/iso9660_stage1_5 (hd0,1)".....failed(this is not fatal)
    Running "embed /boot/grub/iso9660_stage1_5 (hd16)".....failed(this is not fatal)
    Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0,1) /boot/grub/stage2 p (hd0,1) boot/grub/menu.lst".....failed
    Error 31: File is not sector aligned
    My entry for Windows into the menu.lst looks like this:

  • Video Card and PSU upgrade for HP pavilion p6310y?

    Hello,
    I am a mild gamer and I would like to upgrade my video card so I could play games like minecraft and maplestory without my frame rate dropping every 5-10 min.  When this happens it sounds like the fan in my computer is working really hard and the game is almost unplayable.  I also play a few games from steam such as Gmod and Borderlands, however the games that seem less graphic intensive give me more problems. 
    Should I and am I able to upgrade the video card and psu for this HP pavilion p6310y?  or possibly get a better card for these game without upgrading psu?

    Hi,
    Yuo might try updating the video driver from the NVIDIA web site.
    Your PC has a 300 watt power supply.  If you don't need DirectX 11 (used for better detail in newer games), then the NVIDIA GT 240 1GB or 512 MB DDR5 is about tops for a 300 watt power supply.

  • Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto

    Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto.   I get the following error message:  
    Some import operations were not performed.
    The following files were not imported because they could not be read  [followed by a list of the files I wanted to import]
    Thumbnails show up.  LR just will not import them.
    Any idea what is going wrong?

    If the Import button is not clickable, that means that Lightroom thinks you have no new photos to import (one possible reason is that they are duplicates)
    So, you need to figure out why Lightroom thinks that. The way I would do this is to search your Library module for at least one of the photos, by file name. To do this, you would follow all 4 of these steps in sequence:
    Click on All Photographs in the Catalog Panel on the left of the Library Module
    Turn off all Filters (Ctrl-L or Cmd-L once or twice)
    Expand all stacks: Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks
    Search for one or more of the photos using the Filter Bar (press backslash), search by File Name

  • Airport card and memory

    hi im looking into puttin an airport card in to my mac g4 the lamp desktop and was wondering if i need extra memory and what osx it would run on
    hope someone ca

    Hello Aldric, welcome to discussions.
    It's quite suspicious that your Airport card and one of your memory modules have suddenly "disappeared" at the same time.
    This could certainly indicate a hardware issue, but I won't speculate as to what caused it. Sure, a power surge could do this... have you had one recently?
    I would try taking the memory module, and the airport card out of your system, and then re-install them.
    If your situation does not improve, then you should probably take your machine to an authorized Apple service center.
