turning on the wireless card

by Barry Tepperman

The hard disk crashed on my Dell Inspiron 6000 and after replacing it I've installed JUST FC5 - NO Windows. Have followed all the steps to download and install all the drivers and firmware I need to get my builtin wireless (Intel Pro Wireless 2200) working - and Network Control panel tells me everything is in place. But... when I go to activate the card it can't be found and I get an error message asking me if the cable is connected. I have read elsewhere that one bug in FC5 on this machine is that it doesn't switch the wireless card on and that the fix is to go back into Windows and switch it on there. Well, folks, I don't have Windows and really don't want to install it just for that. Any suggestions about how to switch it on within FC5? Barry Tepperman

how to limit number of mysqld processes?

on Fedora Core 3 I have about 15 mysqld processes running. They all appear to be child processes of one. Can I limit the number of child processes of MySQL?

Can mount location of cdroms be customized?

by David Jansen

I liked it in previous versions of Fedora Core that a cdrom would always get mounted in a fixed location, e.g. /media/cdrom or /media/cdrecorder so you could just access it, or have scripts access it in the same location. Now, cds and other removable media are mounted using the name of the media, eg "/media/K3b data project" Is there a way to customize the mount point to get the old behaviour back (or to get some other predictable behaviour)? Access from scripts is one reason I would like that, cd's with 'weird" characters in the name (probably encoded in another characterset) are another reason. The above mentioned "/media/K3b data project" was already problematic for some programs! And not just some weird programs: bash-3.1# eject umount: /media/K3b\040data\040project: not found (and this was using eject-2.1.5-0.1.fc5, last week's update) Such behaviour is just broken, but I don't know if it is eject that is broken, or gnome-mount / udev / hal or whichever component that thought that putting spaces in mountpoints would be a nice touch!

Flash and Firefox

by Russell Golden

I installed Fedora Core 5 last night, and I can't get Flash player to work with Firefox or Mozilla. I've tried installing it in Firefox with both Firefox's built in installer and by the command line installer provided by macromedia (well, adobe now). Also installed manually using the copy command like it recommends on the mozdev website. It ain't workin'. Can anybody help me? Thanks, Russell Golden

"Suspend" on Dell Precision M70: ANYBODY have it working in FC5?

by Dean S. Messing

If so I'd like to hear from you. I will shortly be installing FC5 on my M70 which I have not been able to effectively use because of lack of Suspend. I don't care if it is "to disk" or "to memory". As long as I can put the thing to sleep (with X running) and come back and have all the many things I had going on still going on, I'll be happy. Thanks for your responses.
