REW) First check if your card is detected at boot time. It usually is. Second see if you might need to configure something like modules.conf for your card. Third see if there is a file with the card name in the kernel sources. (e.g. you have a Buslogic card, and there is a buslogic.c file in the kernel sources, you're in luck.). Next, grep for the manufacturer name through ALL the kernel sources. And try the model number of your card.

REW) Good initiative! First a piece of advise: are you up to this? Ten times as many projects like this get started as get finished. Also, make sure that you're not doing double work. Make sure that such a driver is not already available: read Q/A 2.3 above... First prepare yourself. Get the docs, read them (OK, you're allowed to start skipping stuff if you've gotten to the part "detailed register descriptions").

REW) Some Linux developers will settle for a beer, and develop the driver for you. Others want a "free sample" of the hardware and will then go ahead and write the driver. If you need more than a few of the cards or you manufacture the cards yourself, you can consider paying one of the commercial Linux device driver companies to get a commercially backed, officially maintained device driver.

ADB) Linux kernel versions are divided in two series: experimental (odd series e.g. 1.3.xx or 2.1.x) and production (even series e.g. 1.2.xx, 2.0.xx, 2.2.x, 2.4.x and so on). The experimental series are fast moving versions which are used to test new features, algorithms, device drivers, etc. By their own nature the experimental kernels may behave in unpredictable ways, so one may experience data losses, random machine lockups, etc.

Linux uses a so-called "USB Manager", which does automatically loads kernel modules (drivers) for USB devices. It loads only drivers for devices that are present on the USB bus to reduce memory usage. Per default, the USB Manager does not come with the PenDrive preconfigured. However, you can easily configure the USB Manager to automatically recognize the PenDrive yourself. Just add the following to the configuration file, usbmgr.

Not at this time. Although the resemblances between C# and Java means it would probably be a fairly straightforward matter to take the AspectJ language design and produce AspectC#, our current focus is only on supporting effective uses of AspectJ.

CP) Only if it hasn't been fixed yet. The best thing to do is to try to repeat it with a new version of the kernel. If not, you have to figure out if it's been fixed yet. The kernel release announcements and patch descriptions from Jitterbug are also useful. Failing that, look for discussion of the bug in linux-kernel and check the patches between your kernel and the latest ones for relevant changes.

Make that versions. The 2.0 series kernels are still available for older machines. The latest production kernel series is 2.2.x. The updates to this kernel are bug fixes. Active development is proceeding on the 2.4 series kernels. The Web page at http://www.kernel.org/ lists the current versions of the development and production kernels. Among the 2.

Linuxha.net uses a kernel module called ???drbd???. If the version of the kernel changes it is likely that the software will not be able to load the available ???drbd??? module. In such circumstances a suitable error will be given along with instructions on how the drbd can be recompiled and re-installed. For version 1.2 this process is automated when the cluster daemons start. For older versions based on 1.

Kernel version 2.4.21 or later is strongly recommended. IEEE 1394 support in earlier kernel versions was incomplete and buggy. You are unlikely to get help from the mailing lists if you have an older kernel. Kernels 2.6.11 (included) to 2.6.16 (excluded) have a bug with timestamps. If you use timestamps you should avoid kernels in that range.

The easiest way to update your kernel is to get the update directly from the distribution which you are running. If you need or want to configure and compile your own kernel, the web page at http://www.kernel.org/ lists the current versions of the development and production kernels. If you want to download the source code, FTP to ftp.xx.kernel.org, where xx is the two-letter Internet domain abbreviation of your country; e.g., us for United States, ca for Canada, or de for Germany.

What about fault tolerance? If corruption occurs in the disk, or the computer is shut down improperly, we do not want to create more damage then if we were not encrypting the disk.

This can be determine by looking at the kernel boot log via dmesg. You should see a few lines related to perfmon. Something similar to: ... perfmon: version 1.0 (sampling format v1.0) IRQ 238 perfmon: 47 bits counters perfmon: 4 PMC/PMD pairs, 16 PMCs, 18 PMDs ... Another way, is by checking the existence of /proc/perfmon file. A third way is to look into /proc/interrupts to see if there is an interrupt (238) registered to perfmon. In the current 2.

Yes, though the hierarchy of objects will follow the Mozilla model (i.e. DOM 1) and not Internet Explorer. The differences may require changes to applications hardcoded to expect the IE model. Other methods may be implemented but many return E_NOTIMPL. I would welcome patches to improve this support.

Maybe. I have written a sample wrapper for James Clark's expat that emulates the IE4 model but it is not built by default into Mozilla. The IE5 model is considerably more complicated and would require considerable work to emulate adequately.

This option gives you AGP support for the GLX component of XFree86 4.x on the ATI Radeon IGP family of chipsets". In other words, you don't need this unless you have a system with an IGP integrated graphics chipset. If you have a normal AGP card, ignore this option.

There is a new option to automatically convert VB.Net methods with optional parameters to C# overloaded methods. Improved handling of web references so that a web reference with a non-default name converts correctly.

If you boot up in text mode, (which, by the way, will load far more quickly than a graphical login) it will be there above the login prompt, along with what distribution and version of Linux you have, for example in some cases, the command cat /etc/issue will also give you this information--it works in RedHat, but not in Slackware)

Yes, a PM3 can be installed on a Model C. This will be available as a retrofit in Sept. 2003. The Price is $185.00 plus $6.00 shipping and can be preordered by calling 1-800-245-5676. There is a 40.00 credit available for the return of a PM2 Monitor and a $55.00 credit available for the return of a PM2+ Monitor.

Yes, the donation can be split up to three ways. You can easily select up to 3 groups during your initial online registration or go to My eScrip to update your account information online.
