I know hibernation is cool, and I know it’s possible even under Linux, but up to now, I’ve never had it as stable and reliable as one could have expected. However, using SWSUSP2.2RC on 2.6.14.2, I am impressed. I’ve been using my laptop for the last week or so, ever since I’ve discovered the problem…
First and foremost, although I’ve purchased a new display card, I haven’t installed it in the computer yet, as my NVidia has decided to behave. Maybe it’s something to do with some specific build of Firefox, as it’s the only main package changed during the last two or three days. Second, I’ve tape-recorded into my…

Weird behavior of my Orinoco_pci wireless network interface. On my home 802.11b network, I get performance of about 600KB/s, instead of 1.1MB/s, which should be the approximate speed to expect to. Not only that, but browsing to external websites and the likes (I compare using wget), I get speeds of <7KB/s, and sometimes decreasing to…
My tiny laptop has worked rather well so far, but I’ve decided, due to some unexplained problems, to upgrade it to a newer version of kernel, aka 2.6.14.2. Based on my own blog’s entry (what good are blogs if not to hold some long forgotten knowledge?), which can be found here, I’ve upgraded my kernel…
I’ve got to get one of those. It’s like the coolest thing in the world. You can aim and shoot, and all directly from your PC. The challenge, afterwards, would be to make it work under Linux, either directly, or via Wine. Who cares? And later addition: Also one of those, but they’re so expensive……
