starting wireless with WPA, ralink rt2500
by Ian Malone
I'm having 'issues' getting my wireless connection started.
Once up and running it's fine (even surviving restarting the AP),
but getting it there is unreliable.
I'm using a desktop machine with EDIMAX 7128g PCI card (rt2500
chipset) and last Friday's CVS for the rt2x00 drivers, installed
using 'make install-fedora' which sets up an alias for wlan0.
The network is using WPA, so I need to use iwpriv commands
to set it up. It seems the settings could be put in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0, but I can't get
this to work.
What I'm doing at the moment (after some trial and error), is
to have the iwpriv commands in /root/wlan and to hit the
system-control-network start for the wireless connection
and (after a short delay), run '. wlan' as root:
ifcfg-wlan0:
# Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt
# for the documentation of these parameters.
IPV6INIT=no
ONBOOT=no
USERCTL=yes
PEERDNS=yes
#modified line:
GATEWAY=192.168.2.1
#
TYPE=Wireless
DEVICE=wlan0
HWADDR=00:0e:2e:51:c5:25
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
NETMASK=
#modified line:
DHCP_HOSTNAME=ibm21
#
IPADDR=
DOMAIN=
ESSID=thessid
CHANNEL=7
MODE=Managed
IWPRIV="set EncrypType=TKIP set WPAPSK='thekey' set TxRate=0"
/root/wlan:
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
iwpriv wlan0 set EncrypType=TKIP
iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK="thekey"
iwpriv wlan0 set TxRate=0
Some observations:
The IWPRIV line in ifcfg-wlan0 was manually added and is wrong, these
commands should be seperate. However I've also tried them as seperate
IWPRIV="" lines with no more success. If someone can suggest something
else to do with them I'd be happy to try. There is also the question
of whether or not the key should be quoted. I'm not sure I've tried
all the options, but I think the card only associates with the network
when the key is right so that's not too hard to spot.
The card does not always seem to be 'on' when the system starts up:
#iwlist scan
won't show any networks (there are several). I haven't been able to
reliably start it yet (I've tried 'ifconfig wlan0 up' as some of the
howtos suggest this needs to be run before the card accepts any iwpriv
or iwconfig commands). lsmod always shows the rt2500 module. After
sufficient tries it will seem to wake up, and iwlist scan will show
the available networks.
The fact that running the wlan script concurrently with an ifup wlan0
seems to be required suggests there's something funny about the order
of the commands/options in ifcfg-wlan0. I've also noticed the Tx/Rx
lights come on once '. wlan' has been run. Does anyone have any
suggestions about this? Does the order the options are listed even
make a difference to the order they are run in? I'd like to get
ifcfg-wlan0 working properly so I can set it to connect on boot but
atm this isn't going to happen.
Any thoughts appreciated.

udev errors during boot under rawhide
by James Morris
I'm seeing the folliwng during boot with current rawhide:
Red Hat nash version 4.2.8 starting
Mounted /proc filesystem
Mounting sysfs
Creating /dev
Starting udev
ERROR: /sbin/udevstart exited abnormally! (pid 393)
Loading jbd.ko module
Loading ext3.ko moduleinput: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on
isa0060/serio0
ERROR: /sbin/udevstart exited abnormally! (pid 410)
Things seem to be working ok, although I'm wondering what's really going
on here as there are udev related problems currently when SELinux is
enabled.
Any ideas?

default media player
by Thomas Vander Stichele
Hi,
is there any reason why Totem is not the default media player in FC4 ?
The test releases still have Helix Player, while Totem is now the
default GNOME player, and currently it plays more formats. (Helix
Player was added quite late to FC3 and without any warning or discussion
- I probably should have brought it up sooner :))
Helix Player is not very nice UI-wise (check the number of tabs under
preferences), and not particularly well integrated with the desktop.
Any particular reason why it should be the default ? For that matter,
shouldn't it get moved to Extras anyway ?

Re: removing esd - seems possible now?
by Matthew Lenz
I think the big issue people have with ESD is that it historically has
been configured to hold onto the audio device and not let it go. I
assume its possible to configure the system to use software mixing with
alsa (dmix) and force ESD to use ALSA. This way the applications that
want to use ESD output modules for NTA (network transparent audio) can
do so without imposing that requirement on other applications which want
to use ALSA directly or ALSA OSS emulation. The real question is to
whether or not ESD still tryies to hold onto the audio device directly.
If it does then a new sound server that doesn't exibit that behavior is
to a great advantage. What it all comes down to is sound on most all
linux distro's "Just doesn't work"(tm) most of the time and it should.

This should not prevent us from removing dependencies on ESD, so that
we do not have to have it installed unconditionally. The vast majority of

David wants to remove it completely, which may be extreme.
