Improving the list
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 03 Apr '03

03 Apr '03

We were talking about improving the quality of this list, so here are some random suggestions that come to mind: o Introduce the list to new members; it always helps to have critical mass. o Ask list members what *they* expect from the list o Expand the admin team, allocating specific responsibilities to each o Set up another mailing list for linuxers-admin, to coordinate activities among the linuxers o Link up events/reports/happenings on *this* list with (i) other LUGs and FSUGs in and around Mumbai and within the rest of India and (ii) other international networks such as linux-announce(a)NEWS.ORNL.GOV This work should be specifically alloted to one or two persons o Encourage silent members to post o Lot of behind-the-scene emails to encourage more positive activity on the list o While getting angry is natural and a sign of youth, higher politeness levels could ensure better communication o Women members, who seem conspicuous by their absence, need special encouragement... Suggestions from others could take this debate forward. Greetings from Goa!

Issues with Linksys wireless LAN card
by Nikhil D. Kikkeri 03 Apr '03

03 Apr '03

Hi all-- I run Mandrake 9.0 on my laptop.I have a linksys WPC 11 wireless (802.11b) card which i would like to make use of while working on Linux. I got the driver from Linksys and configured it such that I use pcmcia_cs instead of kernel PCMCIA code.the driver was compiled and successfully installed. i opened the wlan-ng.opts file to insert the SSID of the network which in my case is (SMU1911).The campus network uses DHCP. However modifing the file and restarting pcmcia did not help. I know for sure the device is installed because cardctl ident shows the device name correctly.Also when I try to connect from the Mandrake Control center I can see that although bytes are being received, no bytes are being sent. Is there anything that i failed to tweak.what else do i need to have a look at and modify?

Hi Aswin, If you are getting the page from your m/c that means apache is running. Check your IPCHAINS setting. I think you must have blocked other user to connect to your webserver. --Prashant
