It's now obsoleted by package pcmciautils, which contains pccardctl, which does what cardctl used to do. Although, most of the pcmcia stuff has been moved to udev, so there's no pcmcia service for example.

There is no pcmcia daemon anymore (it has been moved to the kernel), so service pcmcia restart does not work anymore. cardctl has been renamed to pccardctl. /Benny From hyewon at cc.gatech.edu Thu Mar 8 20:57:53 2007 From: hyewon at cc.gatech.edu (Hyewon Jun) Date: Thu, 08 Mar 2007 15:57:53 -0500 Subject: Some commands like cardctl do not exist?

AFAIK NetworkManager does not support static addresses, so if you really need this, the first step is to disable it. then you can configure your wi-fi card with system-config-network but there probably be additional configuration steps if you need WPA encryption, since it is not supported out of the box by s-c-n From kintaro0e_benkyo at yahoo.com Sun Mar 11 14:02:42 2007 From: kintaro0e_benkyo at yahoo.com (kintaro oe) Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2007 07:02:42 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Wireless Net Static IP In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <544335.56895.qm@web55813.mail.re3.yahoo.com> Gianluca, Thanks for your advice..if i disable the networkmanger is it posible to enable the netplugd and add eth01 in the netplugd.conf so that it will be detected.my problem is eth1 - wireless, is cant be detected. so thats why i'm using networkmanager to get the driver. what do you think?

But I suggest you download and install the latest respin from http://torrent.fedoraunity.org/ as it contains significative bug fixes WRT the official FC6 release (and you will need to download less updates after the installation...)

I downloaded the latest respin FC6 from the Fedora Unity, and installed in text-mode. Installation worked well. But after the restart, it is not possible to go into the system in graphic mode. When I try to start X11, I get a black screen ...... Does anyone of you has an idea, if I should change some settings in the xorg.conf, or if I could do something else?

But why don't you try to install it and report any problems you encounter?

Martina My laptop is an Aspire 3004WlMi, and it works perfectly, so I imagine a lower versioned member of the same line would also work fine. -- http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ - Get Firefox! http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/ - Reclaim Your Inbox!

Hi, is this clean install (i.e., there was no Linux before on that disk), or upgrade? If the later, could you try to rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf to something else, and restart? Xorg should automagically detect everything necessary. If not, then please file a bug to http://bugzilla.redhat.com, product Fedora Core, component xorg-x11, and attach to the bug uncompressed original /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and then /var/log/Xorg.*.log before and after the experiment. Thanks a lot, Mat?j Cepl
