Determining speed of device...
by Keller, Tim 11 Jul '01

Got a quick question... Other than looking in dmesg for what the driver reported the speed of the cable of the network device, does anybody know what utility or place in /proc that'll tell you what the speed of the cable connected to your machine is. Thanks, Tim.

Re: [Wlug] Any complaints about Charter cable modems?

Hi, I've had Charter for almost a year and have had no problems. Except my modem going last month.. that was the first real big problem. Like any ISP.. they have had a few outages here in Auburn, but they didn't last more than 2 hours. I had no problems getting my Linux (Mandrake)system working with it.

I am new to the Mass. area, but I use to be a Sr. Network Admin with Charter Communications. The question that I have is are you using Charter@home or Charter Pipeline? If it is Charter@home then you have to make some different changes in your setup. You have to add some domain information. It took a while to finally Linux DHCP to with with Charter@home but we were able to figure it out. If it is Charter Pipeline I will be willing to find you some contact information with one othe the Sr. Network Admins that I know. Tom > rpm -q pump > > pump is Red Hat's DHCP client.

I'm assuming you've made a minor typing mistake in the first sentence of the previous paragraph (otherwise very confusing) I'm assuming also that you're saying that the internal card boots OK and the card hooked to the cable modem is failing: - be sure the driver module for the cable modem eth card is loaded (e.g 'insmod 3c90x' or whatever for your card ) - be sure the 'pump' package in installed > >Any ideas?

Familiar Linux help...
by Wesley Allen 29 Jun '01

29 Jun '01

Hello all. I am FINALLY getting an iPaq and want to flash the ROM to install familar linux (or QT embedded). I've been looking over the howtos but I think I would feel better to have someone who's done this sitting over my shoulder so I don't make a $600 paperweight. Also, can someone tell me what apps are in ipkg format for familiar, I've been having trouble finding them? What about the possibility of switching between QT embedded and X for other useful apps (like, game boy emulators, for instance, or even the Atari Lynx...). Can anyone help me with this? Wes
