Try creating a symlink /usr/src/linux-2.6.xx to your kernel. Thanks Dinesh, I would try to create a sym link as you have mentioned but can you please explain about how to overwrite the present hard link. Because unless it is overwirtten the problem won't be solved. (This is as far as I know ) The hard link would have a higher priority over the softer one.

One BIG difference with GNU/linux (that includes applications) you have access to the code so if you are in trouble u CAN correct things. Further every time (and that is at least fifteen times with different application) I mailed a developer i got a response with useful technical inputs which helped resolve the problem within a day. No stupid mails about You are a valued idiot and our idiots are looking into the problem and we will get back to you when the next release treadmill starts rolling. > Virus attacks are a different ball game.

I have been running Debian as root for years havent had a problem ever. And the box is connected 24/7. (Ofcourse this is quite a nasty thing to do) But then most of my ports are turned off and firewalled etc. etc. > Make sure you talk of support and cost of support.

If you plan to get support better than the kind stated above it will cost you a fortune and is unlikely to be available unless you have 100+ multi location setup. Factoring these costs with meticulous SLAs is the key to your costing. The microserfs very nicely forget about SLAs when costing but suddenly remember them when signing up MCs. Could not agree more with the rest of the mail. Finally it is about really understanding who exactly is responsible for the stuff that resides on your box. Quite contrary to what M$ say in the press, they absolve themselves of everything and charge you a fat packet in the bargain. Strangely enough even the DOD (USA) software certification program fails completely to certify key aspects of closed software. The situation is being rectified much to the dislike of fiends like Greenhills, M$ etc.. Cant find the relevant links. rgds jtd

[ILUG-BOM] Continuous receiving data on Broadband internet connection
by Nilesh Raykar 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hi all, I am using Hathway broadband internet connection(256kbps) on my Debian (Sarge) machine. I use KDE3.3 desktop & use knetload to monitor network traffic, rate of connection(kbps),etc. Also I have installed firewall using "firestarter". The public access is disabled to all services. Whenever I start the modem, knetload shows non-stop incoming data (about 5-10 kbps). However, there is no outgoing data. I wonder from where this data is coming. I have closed almost all services on my machine. See output of "netstat" below- <QUOTE> ROOT:/home/nilray# netstat -tuap Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 *:discard *:* LISTEN 2571/inetd tcp 0 0 localhost.localdom:smtp *:* LISTEN 2279/exim4 tcp6 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 2593/sshd udp 0 0 *:discard *:* 2571/inetd <UNQUOTE> Can anybody suggest casue of this influx & how to control it?

I did try to compile the driver (as a root) by specifying the kernel source directory with LINUX_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.6.zz. and the modules directory as MODULE_DIR=/lib/modules/2.6.zz and it almost seemed to work but once again it looks like there is another file from the same scripts/mod dir which is missing. The error given this time was as follows ************************************************************************ Building modules, stage 2. make -rR -f /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-24/scripts/Makefile.modpost scripts/mod/modpost -m -i /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-24/Module.symvers -s /dev/null /home/galbotrix/qc-usb-messenger-0.8/quickcam.o /bin/sh: scripts/mod/modpost: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [__modpost] Error 127 make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-24' make: *** [quickcam.ko] Error 2 ls: quickcam.ko: No such file or directory [!] Looks like the driver compilation failed. Did you get any error messages above? If asking for help, show what error messages you got. WARNING: If you press Enter, I'll try to continue anyway, but this probably will fail. You SHOULD press Ctrl+C now. Press Ctrl+C to quit, Enter to continue ---> *********************************************************************** Just had another thought, as I was going through the README.txt file of the driver it said that the build dir in /lib/modules/2.6.xx should be a link to the kernel source i.e /usr/src/linux-2.6.xx. But the the link in my case shows that build directory is hard linked with /usr/src/linux-2.6.xx-obj/i386/default directory. I tried to change this link but despite being root its not allowing me a hard link change. Can you or anybody please tell me how to do the changeover, any other inputs are welcome as well.
