Can't connect to network even with no security. Is this possibly a firmware issue?

As far as home networks, I found that when I was running NAT on Linux (RH8 through FC2 days) - bt really screwed up my home network. However, when using hardware routers, even the cheap consumer kind (Linksys) the home network is fine. I think bt is very hard on software routing.

Memory vs. Display Card
by Rick 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Since memory has become quite cheap lately I decided to move from 2 GB to 6. When I installed the memory every thing was fine until I went to run level 5. At that point the screen turned to garbage and the system froze. Is there a way to fix this so I can use the memory I bought? Do I need a new display card?

Centos 5.3 - NetworkManager applet
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

So far I have upgraded 2 test laptops (no big servers or this, my main laptop). I am running from local repos. The OS repo is from downloading the isos and extracting them. The Update repo I get with an rsync command. On both laptops, the update ends with a dialog panel (oh, I am using gnome): The NetworkManager applet caould not find some required resources. It cannot continue. I don't see anything in /var/log/messages that might shed light on this. On both these systems, I have the NetworkManager deamon disabled. I was able to start it in a terminal window with the services command and it seems to have worked; I see the icon on the system tray. Meanwhile, going through messages I see a message at the end of the bootup about nm-system-settings about loading plugin ifcfg-rh. First it parses ifcfg-lo and then notifies that it is ignoring the loopback device config. It then goes on to read ifcfg-eth0 (which is set for ONBOOT=no, so nothing more happens). So is this dialog a 'bug' or just an artifact of upgrading from 5.2 to 5.3?

Hello, Just did yum update. There were numerous packages to be updated. I get this is the newest release of Centos. The update bombed stating I need nss-3.12.2.0-2.el5. I did a rpm -q nss and nss-3.12.2.0-4.el5 is install in Cento 5.2. What's up with that? TIA

EXT4 root fails for kickstart
by James A. Peltier 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi All, For those testing EXT4 I seem to have found an issue with anaconda where by if you specify EXT4 fstype in your kickstart file it will not install and complains that if needs another 250MB of disk space. I've tried with my kickstart set for 10G for root at ext3 and it works fine. 10,15 and 20GB with EXT4 all fail. BTW: can't put /boot on it either. Just a heads up for all. ;) -- James A.
