madwifi, F9, atheros 5413 cards
by PH mooraa
Hi All,
--
reposting the question on this forum because I think the problem is with
Fedora not madwifi
--
I am trying to use Adhoc mode with AR5413 card (5006 chipset) with following
-
#uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Thu May 1 06:28:41 EDT
2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
There are 2 machines running F9/madwifi and having same cards in adhoc mode.
(livna - madwifi-0.9.4-1.lvn9.i386, kmod-madwifi-0.9.4-31.lvn9.i686,
kmod-madwifi-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686-0.9.4-31.lvn9.i686,
madwifi-devel-0.9.4-1.lvn9.i386)
In adhoc mode, they associate with each other (same cell ID) but are not
able to further communicate. ath0 interface created on top of wifi0 does not
receive any packets but wifi0 do receive. I am not able to ping one from
another. routes are set.

I think that there no problems with ath_pci loading as can be seen -

In last 3 lines, I overdid security because initially I thought the problem
is due to authentication. I don't want any security at this point.
[ Other tests -
- the same card works in managed mode and connects to my building's WLAN AP.
This makes me wonder more what I doing wrong.
- same cards with madwifi 0.9.4 works on Ubuntu in ad-hoc mode which shows
that something in Fodora is going wrong. I really like F9 and really don't
want to switch to ubuntu. ]
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

. Now when I click on a link in a Thunderbird email I get a box with the
error message:
Error showing url: There was an error launching the default action

Can anyone tell me how/where to fix the 'default action command'?

F8 dependency hell with avahi

I'm running F8 on a T30 thinkpad. Whenever I try to do yum
update, I get :

===== ===== ===== =====
I've tried everything I can think of to update or get rid of that
avahi-0.6.17-1.fc7.i386 with the "fc7" in it, and nothing I know works.
Pirut did claim to have removed it; but yum update still failed the same.
What do I do, while I still can? Yum wants to change 124
packages, including replacing a kernel.

* WUXGA display
* 4GB shared dual channel DDR2 RAM @ 667MHz
* 320GB SATA HD
* 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon 3450 video

is there anything on that list that should give me pause

best fedora-out-of-the-box pcmcia wifi?
by Matthew Miller
Does anyone have a recommendation for a modern PCMCIA/PC Card wifi card
which just works out of the box with recent Fedora? I can download a
firmware blob if I have to, but extra points for not having to. These days
all new laptops have wireless built in so all the current info I can find
seems focused on that.

What is filesystem panic?
by Per Anton Rønning
I guess I should rephrase my question about my 4GB memory stick/pen,
where the filesystem
now is set to readonly when I enter it into one of the slots.
Could anyone tell me what might have happened by taking a look at the
snip of the logfile?
I am not allowed to do anyting but reading files. I am not allowed to
delete files ,remove directires
or write to files, even if I change to root privileges.
I cannot say when this started - it just happened one time when I tried
to backup some files to the Jet Flash.
Then I got the message (one example):
cp: cannot create regular file `/media/disk/trade/statQ': Read-only
file system
Does anyone have a clue? I'd be grateful for pointers in the right
direction.
