wireless card and fedora 7
by Joel Moxey
Hi,
I have installed FC7 on a rather old laptop using the live CD.
I have also an old Netgear MA401 PCMCIA wireless network card.
If the card is inserted during boot, the kernel panics and therefore the
boot does not work.
If the card is inserted once the machine is up; running "kudzu" followed
by "ifup wlan up" work and the laptop is able to use the wireless card
to access the network/internet.
I think this is something to do with which kernel modules are loaded;
but am struggling to find a fix which allows me to keep the card in
during boot.
Thanks for any help in advance.

by Arnab Biswas
Hi All,
I am trying to install yahoo messenger in Fedora 7. The steps I am following
are :
1. Download rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm from messenger.yahoo.com
2. login as root
3. rpm -ihv rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm
It is giving the error :

libgdk_pixbuf.so.2 is needed by ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386
4. So I tried with "rpm -ihv --nodeps rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm"

5. cd /usr/bin/

Bluetooth
by Udayan Singh
Hi
Have been using FC6, and have a laptop from company called HCL
(Indian) and Centrino processor. I have attached a USB dongle to it
(version 1.2). Now this system is dual boot, so when i log on from
windows, am able to see the rest of the devices on network. Now if i
logon from FC6, am unable to check which devices are there.
Any pointers to how can i see the bluetooth devices that have been
registered by kernel (can i see in proc/ sys fileystem).
Any inputs would be wonderfu.l..

Targus Bluetooth Mouse Trouble...
by Dylan Ward
Hello to all...
I am having desperate trouble getting my bluetooth up and running. In
particular, I am trying to link a Targus Bluetooth Mouse (model:
AMB0301EU...). But (there is always a but...), I seem to be unable to
scan any devices. I have followed every bit of advice in, probably,
every forum I could Google to no avail.
I have a Toshiba Portege M400 Tablet PC. According to all that I have
read, I should be up and working. I know that I have missed the joke
and have not set up something, but I am at a loss as to what that is.
Bluez-utils and Gnome-Bluetooth are both installed and you can see
Bluetooth services firing up during the boot.
I am no Guru, but I am not a complete newbie either. I have exhausted
every effort and still no joy. Any help that can be provided would be
greatly appreciated. I apologise in advance if this topic was covered
before.
Regards,
Dylan
