Do you have the wireless tools (iwconfig, etc?) Try here: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html The 'key' option to iwconfig is what you're looking for. More links can be found here: http://www.seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/WirelessSoftwareLinks On Tue, Mar 27, 2001

I've had Debian on my Portege 3025 for nearly two years. The initial install was a bit rough because it wouldn't boot from Slink boot disks. I had to use loadlin from a WinDOS98 partition. The Potato boot disks seem to work fine, at least on this machine. A search at http://www.google.com/linux

I cannot seem to get the raidtools working on a sparc. I was hoping that someone here could help out. Before I start, let me note that I've been using Debian with raidtools on several x86 machines for quite some time without any troubles. The machine is an Ultra 2 Enterprise (sun4u, SBUS, SCSI).

Your best bet is to convince your "network administrator" to use masq modules for these things. I believe netmeeting uses H.323. I remember seeing an H.323 module at http://ipmasq.cjb.net/. I just wrote a microsoft messenger module yesterday (what a coincidence!) You should be able to login with

I don't have any experience with DSL, but I can tell you about the AT&T @home setup. Most of the networking stuff should apply to either, but you should *insist* on an external adapter with a ethernet connector to your box. I've been using a 5x86-133 machine for my linux masq gateway for about 4

I just got an @home cablemodem last weekend and I've been running ipmasq for quite some time over a normal dialup. The short answer is that you can connect as many computers through your service as you like, using only one IP address, and you don't really need two ethernet cards in any of the comp

My only concern is that these are x86 machines, not Sparcs. My experience is that Linux does not run as well as Solaris on the Sparc platform. Specifically, RedHat 6.1 on a SUN4U box doesn't seem to play very nice with the SCSI controller and the entire machine pauses for noticeable periods under
