This blog started out as an install log of RedHat 9 on a Compaq Presario 2538cl laptop (linuxpresario.blogspot.com) . However, I soon started to include little logs to myself when I made configuration changes to software, etc. So, I've moved it over to our domain, and changed its name to Linux Log. Here you will find some tips & tricks related to Linux configuration on a laptop, as well as software related things that I run into. I log here things that worked for me, of course, your mileage may vary.

Any questions/comments? E-mail me at linux_atsign_boshoff|za|net.

Modem working

May 31, 2003

Modem working now. Downloaded and installed the drivers provided on linuxant.com, installed it and followed the steps of the installation. Then added a new network connection using the new modem, and voila! That was pretty easy.

The drivers I used was the rpm package hsflinmodem-5.03.27lnxtbeta03042700-1.i386.rpm , downloaded from the Linuxant website.

TODO:

1. Get the ACPI-patched kernel compiled to have battery status displayed in Gnome.
2. Get the winmodem to work.
3. Try to resolve the hang issues whenever firewire comes into the picture in Linux.
4. Get the one-touch buttons to work, such as the Internet, e-mail etc. shortcut buttons.
5. Resolve pcmcia issues.
