http://prism2.unixguru.raleigh.nc.us/ has RPMs for the linux wlan-ng packages. Since I run RH9 from the original distribution discs on an i686, I...

Thanks xiphux. I tried this by adding pci=noacpi to the kernel line in grub.conf so it looked like this: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi pci=noacpi Unfortunately, this didn't solve the problem. I still...

Alright! I got the linux wlan-ng drivers to work on RH9. I installed them via rpm, and I use this script to bring wlan0 up: /sbin/modprobe usb-ohci /sbin/modprobe prism2_usb /sbin/wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate...

Hey farmboy, I just posted a reply to a similar question at http://talknotebooks.com/showthread....&threadid=8881 I'll save you a click -- I've been working on it for days, and I can't get it to work either. I'll keep you...

I've also tried the alsa drivers, though without any luck. My 4760's bios reports the sound card to be an SIS7018, while linux mis-identifies it as an SIS7012. This wouldn't be a big deal, except that the 7012 uses the intel8x0 driver...

When I try to install the wlan-ng RPMs for my kernel (2.4.20-8), I get errors. prism2_usb symbols not found. Then, when I try the following commands, as suggested above: modprobe usb-ohci modprobe prism_usb Nothing happens. ...

I've found a bunch of different drivers for the 4760's optionally built-in wireless card (not the one with bluetooth). So far, I've found that either: 1) The drivers don't compile (yes, I have the kernel source tree installed) 2)...

I experienced something similar to this too. It only happens on my 4760 when indexing service is running. Since Indexing service runs constantly, checking the hard drive for new/changed files, you get a constant (every half second or...

I recently bought a 4760, which (other than the thermonuclear heat emanating from the beast) I really love. I knew that this was going to be one big mamma when I bought it, and I was prepared for the weight. But when I opened the box...
