Re: [CentOS] Custom kernel needed for ndiswrapper? (for Linksys WPC54G wireless pcmcia)
by Lee Parmeter 25 May '05

25 May '05

Michael: I can recommend the Netgear WG511. This one has a prism chipset; ndiswrapper is NOT required! Outpost.com sells the WG511 so you can probably find it at Fry's as well for around $45. Note: I do not recommend the WG511T which is a different chipset!. --- Michael <addymin(a)pacbell.net> wrote: > Greetings: > > I'm just installed Centos-4 on an IBM T-21 laptop. So > far so good.

Re: [CentOS] Re: Demonizing generic Linux issues as Fedora Core-only issues -- WAS: Hi, Bryan

From: Johnny Hughes <mailing-lists(a)hughesjr.com> > This is not really true. We will probably never have everything that FC > has as added features ... but CentOS-4 has several added features and we > have been out for only a 3 months (so, not required to wait a year). Oh, sorry, I should have clarified. What I meant by "wait a year" was the time from the first .0 or .1 Fedora Core releases that a new version of RHEL/CentOS is based on. E.g., FC2 came out in May 2004, FC3 in November 2004. RHEL/CentOS 4 didn't follow until 2005. > We even have some features (mysql compiled postfix, NX/freeNX, > and soon MySQL-Administrator / MySQL-Query Builder) that are not > yet part of FC or FC Extras at all. Actually, some of this stuff will _never_ be included in FC/RHEL because of licensing issues with the fact that MySQL is GPL. This is well documented in a lot of places. Red Hat is the only distributor (although I haven't checked Debian) fully honoring the terms MySQL AB sets on its GPL releases of MySQL 4, which include not building and redistributing certain items. It's one of those things that Red Hat also gets chastized on, and one of the reasons I don't use DAG (or Livna.ORG) at businesses. Anything that has GPL licensing/mixing issues, "only for non-profit use" or otherwise is "questionable" use of patents is the reason why I stick with "pure" Fedora Core+Extras or Debian. -- Bryan J.

CentOS4, KDE3.3 and 128 WEP
by John Logsdon 25 May '05

25 May '05

CentOS4 standard installation. I see that KwifiManager doesn't support 128 bit WEP which I need for other machines on the network, which is a bit of a blow - and rather surprising really as security should be quite a consideration on an enterprise level system (NB RH!). Is there a workaround? An alternative way of configuring my Belkin F5D6020 ver 2 card? eg a cvs download that I can get and copy via a stick? Or how to do it manually? I have tried regressing kdenetwork but that doesn't include kwifimanager at all. Ideas?

iptables logging
by Peter Farrow 25 May '05

25 May '05

Hi All, A few years ago I was asked if I could redirect console messages from Iptables to a different virtual console, on RedHat 7.3 . I managed to do it, but can't remember how I did it, now that the same question has arisen ona Centos 3.4 box. I edited /etc/syslog.conf and redirected kern.* to /dev/tty2 for example & this didn't work I edited /etc/sysconfig/syslog and modified klogd options with -f /dev/tty2 & this didn't work either So I stopped syslogd and klogd altogether and iptables still logs to the current console (which ever one you're on). So my question is, how do I get iptables to redirect its output to another console?

CentOS and HP Drivers
by Mark A. Lewis 25 May '05

25 May '05

I am debating installing CentOS on a new HP DL580 with an MSA1000 SAN. HP offers drivers that are specific to RHEL and will not install on other RH distros i.e. RH 9. Has anyone gotten the HP SupportPack to install under CentOS? Thanks! -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

packages in centos-3.3 base changed
by Leonard Ye 25 May '05

25 May '05

Hi all, Correct me if my understanding is wrong. The [base] repository of centos-3.3 will never change after release. All future updates should go into [update]. I have an autobuild system to build a production server. If the [base] repository will never change after release, then I can maintain the reproducibility of the production server by always installing from the [base] of centos-3.3. Regards, Leonard Ye

From: Dag Wieers > Sorry to interrupt but he was describing how you appeared in previous > postings. And I have to say that I felt the same way reading some of your postings. Really? Then I'll re-read them since there's been a second confirmation. Just know that I wasn't trying to make it about good/bad. I'm just trying to make the point that companies aren't just evil/greedy, and sometimes your friend can be your worse enemy (even SCO knows that one ;-). > Maybe it's best to move these topics to another channel. I just wish people didn't feel the need to make comments about Red Hat and SCO. > Can we leave the insults out, please ? > It serves no purpose here. Sorry. I'm just still a little disturbed about the "crap" statement, and everything that went with it. I find that many people just don't believe me sometimes.
