fish:// and ms windows?

by Eric Dondelinger

Hi, I know we all don't like that certain "OS" from Redmont, WA, but sometimes it's necessary to find FOSS for that platform anyway. Can anyone point me to and/or recommend some konqueror-fish://-like software on MS Windows? Maybe an extension to Explorer, maybe an extension to firefox, whatever makes browsing via SSH as easy as in konqueror and allowing drag&drop of files to some other place... Thanks in advance, Eric

wi-fi connection lost after router is reinitialized

by Michel Maria-Sube

Hello, I had a connection problem with router (Zyxel prestige 650H) after to be connected under windows, for an unknown reason configuration parameters were modified and then I have to reinitialize the hardware and reconfigurate it (with ancien parameters such as key for wep, etc) but after, while connection works normally under windows, this works not at all under linux!!I have a laptop which run under mandriva2007, wireless liaison is assumed with ndiswrapper and list of interfaces gives: ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:C0:9F:B7:BC:13 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 lg file transmission:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interruption:233 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:14:A4:3C:E2:52 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 lg file transmission:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interruption:169 MÃ©moire:c0304000-c0306000 lo Link encap:Boucle locale inet adr:127.0.0.1 Masque:255.0.0.0 adr inet6: ::1/128 Scope:HÃ´te UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:66 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:66 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 lg file transmission:0 RX bytes:5116 (4.9 KiB) TX bytes:5116 (4.9 KiB) sit0 Link encap:IPv6-dans-IPv4 NOARP MTU:1480 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 lg file transmission:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) network card is Broadcom BCM4318 AirForceOne 54g, but when I doing ifup eth1 (interface used for wireless access) I have as answer: "no link found; check cable?"; I have similar problem with another laptop running under suse10: no mean to obtain an normal IP adress and then any link for the access. Any suggestion? Thank you in advance Cheers M.

laptop?

by Patrick Useldinger

I would like to buy a laptop but I have no clue which one. There's not much I really need from a laptop: a decent screen and keyboard, moderately portable (i.e. 14", 15" or 15,4" screen), 1GB RAM, LAN and WLAN. I'd rather have an Intel or SIS card if it extends battery life, otherwise Nvidia is also OK. Oh yes, and a Swiss keyboard. I'm not sure about the screen, whether it could be glaring or not. The only laptop-specific thing I need is working suspend-to-disk, preferaby with the kernel build-in support and not swsusp2, and I am willing to compile a kernel. The distro will be Slackware 11. I have read that HP has decent Linux support but it's hard to get an up-to-date laptop in Luxemburg. LIS is willing to let me test their laptops but of course I won't be able to spend half a day there and install Linux. My girlfriend is rather fond of her Acer but it runs Windows. Oh yes, I don't mind paying for Windows and not using it. So I guess I am not really difficult, although a Core 2 processor would be nice. Now I am simply afraid that if I buy a laptop, major things like suspend-to-disk will not work reliably. Or that the battery performance is lousy because of a bad processor speed management. Does anybody on the list have a suitable laptop (s)he could recommend?
