[Alug]Kernel Assertion Failure (TCP)
by Steve Fosdick 22 May '03

22 May '03

I am getting a interesting kernel assertion failure message relating to TCP. KERNEL: assertion (newsk->state != TCP_SYN_RECV) failed at tcp.c(2229) KERNEL: assertion ((1<<sk2->state)&(TCPF_ESTABLISHED|TCPF_CLOSE_WAIT|TCPF_CLOSE)) failed at af_inet.c(689) Does anyone know if this indicates a kernel bug, or could it just be the result of someone sending me IP packets that don't conform to the standard? Steve.

Hi, Can anyone recommend a PCI wireless card that they have found to work well under linux? I've been looking at these: http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopSearch.asp?CategoryID=59&ShopGroup… Other recommendations welcome! Thanks, Jenny

Adam, thanks....tearing out of hair definitely not on the cards, much as BJ thinks I like to do things the hard way :-) Some most useful links there. Jen

John, could you get in touch with Ian Bell <ian(a)redtommo.com> as he may be able to put you in touch with others who may be able to further your above mentioned project. I would have put in direct contact with Ian, but I am afraid that your Email address has disappeared in past re-installations. -- John Seago

[Alug]RE Microsoft and SCO
by tom potts 20 May '03

20 May '03

Dont panic - its a scare tactic by M$ + SCO - they've already released the code under GPL so they must be hoping it would put ignorant people off. re the 4004 - a mate built an 8080 out of TTL - 3' square and 4Mhz when the first 8080 were <1mhz (it think)! __________________________________________________ It's Samaritans' Week.

[Alug]Beginner's problems
by Peter Lumb 19 May '03

19 May '03

Hello everyone for the first time. My reason for joining is that I have been a Microsoft user for many years and, prior to that, I built my own computers even before Clive Sinclair brought out the ZX80! Linux at first sight looks more interesting than Windows though it appears to be more complicated to get started. Hence my first question. The way I start an internet connection is to open Mozilla , press the configure network icon and press activate. The connection is made but there is no indication of what is happening as there is with Explorer. I therefore have no idea if and when the connection is made. Sound output is connected to another device so I cannot hear any tones. Must I disconnect this and rely on sound to know what is going on or is there another way? I thought I had found the answer with modem lights. I have the icon on the panel but cannot make it do anything. Any suggestions? You asked for the sort of problems beginners have so here is mine.

[Alug]SCO's code is where then?
by Neil Marjoram 19 May '03

Does anyone know where the phantom SCO source code is in linux then? Of course we all know it's micro$oft that is pushing this, they need a legit legal way to stop linux before they get pushed out by superior code. Neil. -- Neil Marjoram <n.marjoram(a)vam.ac.uk> Victoria & Albert Museum
