Could you please tell me what newsgroup?
A little vague, but explaining which newsgroup you are talking about would
help :-).

Broadcom tg3 parameter for RH Linux

["Followup-To:" header set to comp.os.linux.hardware.]
On Thu, 26 Feb 2004 20:32:56 GMT, YesBalala staggered into the Black Sun
and said:
The tg3 module as shipped with vanilla kernel 2.4.24 only has one
parameter, "tg3_debug", which increases the number of debugging messages
the module prints. I think you want to use "mii-tool -F 100baseTx-FD

Broadcom tg3 parameter for RH Linux

I am looking for the parameter to be place in modules.conf to setup
this nic as 100 Full, and disable auto-neg, but seems cannot find it
anywhere. Is there anyone know what's the paramter to do so?
I am running RH Linx 8 on Dell PowerEdge 2650.
Thanks.

Hello!
I have the same problem.
I have found a possible solution in an other newsgroup. I have not tested it yet.
This is the advice:
Cups-
Go to /etc/cups
remove comment of octet-stream in mime.convs and mime.types.
remove comment of msword in one of the two indicated files (don't remember!)
Hope it will work.

Can't ping IPv6 domains

2004-02-20T20:16:28Z

I finally found the information in the form that I could understand. All I had to do was
add NETWORKING_IPV6=yes to /etc/sysconfig/network and then run the script that I found at
the following link. If you compare my script with his you will see that I had to make a
slight change.

Can't ping IPv6 domains

IPv6 is not supported in the internet yet. If you want to send ipv6 packages
over the internet, you will have to tunnel them in an ipv4 tunnel. try "man
ifconfig" and search for the keyword "tunnel". Keep in mind, that the other side
of the connection will also have to support ipv6, which is not obvious.

Can't ping IPv6 domains

I am trying to setup my RedHat 9 with 2.4.20-28.9 kernel to connect to IPv6 domains. The
ipv6 module is loaded at boot but I can't ping6 any IPv6 domains. My D-Link DFE-530TX+ NIC
is connected to a cable modem. Not knowing what might be helpful I've included everything
I could find. I will provide any additional information that you need to provide suggestions.

Oh jeeze! Like that's really obvious. :-( Guess I should know better
than trying to configure this thing through the GUI.
Is there any documentation of this trick, or way you might know to turn
that option on through "normal" configuration options?

Cups printing:
Go to /etc/cups and uncomment octet-** in mime.types and mime.convs.
Also uncomment msword in mime.types (or is it mime.convs).

Help Printing from WinXP to Fedora via SAMBA

Agree with that. I have the same configuration, using Fedora as
printserver. Shares are OK and can be seen and used by Windows XP. The
printer can be seen by XP, but not used (acces denied). Strange enough
there is a folder Printer/ Faxmachines, which has an icon to the
printer and I am able to print a testmessage in that way.

If CUPS is already set up to use the printer, then that should be just
about all you need. You may need to add the machine or subnet to
cupsd.conf. Here's an extract from mine...

I am running Fedora core 1 on my desktop and WinXP on a notebook. I am
able to share files between the 2 machines just fine. I am having trouble
printing from the WinXP machine thru SAMBA. With my current smb.conf file
I am able to (seemingly) install the network printers on WinXP (they are
physically connected to the desktop) but when I go to print nothing

I have installed the tcp/ip printer service on WinXP, thanks. As I said,
I'm a novice at linux, so how do I configure the linux side now in order
to use the printer via tcp/ip?
Thanks,
Tom

Is there a compelling reason to use samba for printing? Install XP's
tcp/ip printer service and you can print from Windows to linux without
bothering with all that smb nonsense.

You migh want to check one of the Samba web sites. Also,
have you tried setting the printer to browseable = yes and
then see if you can install the networked printer on the
XP machine, in the Run text input box \\Linux-Desktop\?--
what's the printer name? Maybe that's the problem.
Haven't played with Samba for about 3 years but was
