The faster we can reach Thorolf's goal, the sooner he can set in place a mechanism for collecting the funds necessary to purchase the PCIe hardware, and the sooner Willibald will be in a position to build and test wrappers for the newer hardware. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------040302090708080008010104 Content-Type: message/rfc822; name="[eCS TestTeam] Donation for GenMAC-development.eml" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="[eCS TestTeam] Donation for GenMAC-development.eml" X-Account-Key: account1 X-Mozilla-Keys: Return-Path: Received: from mxout2.mailhop.org ([63.208.196.166] verified) by 2rosenthals.com (CommuniGate Pro SMTP 5.1.3) with ESMTP id 1030920 for lgrosenthal@2rosenthals.com; Mon, 26 Mar 2007 08:13:00 -0400 Received: from mxin2.mailhop.org ([63.208.196.176]) by mxout2.mailhop.org with esmtp (Exim 4.63) (envelope-from ) id 1HVo3x-000AIT-Am for lgrosenthal@2rosenthals.com; Mon, 26 Mar 2007 08:12:40 -0400 Received: from mail.mensys.nl ([194.109.204.136] helo=mensys.nl) by mxin2.mailhop.org with esmtp (Exim 4.63) (envelope-from ) id 1HVo3w-000GzV-Rz for lgrosenthal@2rosenthals.com; Mon, 26 Mar 2007 08:12:37 -0400 Received: from [194.109.204.136] (HELO mail) by mensys.nl (CommuniGate Pro SMTP 5.0.1) with SMTP id 2434157; Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:12:30 +0100 Received: from inbound-router2.comendo.com ([195.242.120.222] verified) by mensys.nl (CommuniGate Pro SMTP 5.0.1) with ESMTP id 2434156 for testteam@ecomstation.nl; Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:12:29 +0100 Received-SPF: none receiver=mensys.nl; client-ip=195.242.120.222; envelope-from=nospam@godawa.de Received: from mm1-c2.comendo.local (unknown [192.168.201.131]) by inbound-router2.comendo.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id CD7FCBCD459 for ; Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:09:42 +0200 (CEST) Received: from cluster1.spam5.comendo.local (Not Verified[195.242.120.130]) by mm1-c2.comendo.local with [wscanner] id ; Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:12:14 +0200 X-Virus-Scanned: amavisd-new at spam1-1 Received: from fastscan1.comendo.dk ([192.168.210.13]) by cluster1.spam5.comendo.local (cluster1.spam5.comendo.local [195.242.120.151]) (amavisd-new, port 25) with ESMTP id buO26JU-zX1h for ; Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:12:12 +0200 (CEST) Received: from mppd (fastscan3.comendo.dk [127.0.0.1]) by localhost.domain.tld (Postfix) with ESMTP id CB2001A438 for ; Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:12:11 +0200 (CEST) Received: from reciever1.comendo.dk (unknown [195.242.120.11]) by fastscan1.comendo.dk (Postfix) with ESMTP id B334E1A57F for ; Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:12:09 +0200 (CEST) Received: from mo-p00-ob.rzone.de (mo-p00-ob.rzone.de [81.169.146.162]) by reciever1.comendo.dk (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9F1541A7CF1 for ; Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:11:59 +0200 (CEST) Received: from [10.65.0.66] (Q74ef.q.strato-dslnet.de [89.53.116.239]) by post.webmailer.de (mrclete mo8) (RZmta 5.4) with ESMTP id S032bbj2QAwnLu ; Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:11:57 +0200 (MEST) Message-ID: <4607B88D.9090400@godawa.de> User-Agent: Thunderbird 1.5.0.10 (OS/2/20070308) MIME-Version: 1.0 eCS-Technical@yahoogroups.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-RZG-AUTH: lrQo7MyWC561Vb5VsSM36PXlIR9+43LerFKSMpZVQ12l/VMsE7TockqzP3g= X-RZG-CLASS-ID: mo00 X-Comendo-High: Yes 0.00 / 80.00 X-Spam-Status: No, score=-0.965 tagged_above=999 required=5 tests=[BAYES_05=-1.11, COMENDO_CUSTOM_CM_0x=0.01, FORGED_RCVD_HELO=0.135] Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:12:30 +0200 X-OldDate: Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:11:57 +0200 Sender: testteam-owner X-Listname: testteam@ecomstation.nl Reply-To: testteam@ecomstation.nl From: Thorolf Godawa To: testteam@ecomstation.nl, eComStation@yahoogroups.com, Subject: [eCS TestTeam] Donation for GenMAC-development X-List-Unsubscribe: Send email to testteam-request@ecomstation.nl X-List-Owner: testteam-owner@ecomstation.nl X-Mail-Handler: MailHop by DynDNS X-Originating-IP: 194.109.204.136 X-Spam-Score: 0.0 (/) [ eComStation Test Team ] Hi all, right now we have a big problem with eCS on newer devices like the ThinkPad T60 that now uses MiniPCI/PCI-express (MiniPCIe/PCIe) to attach network adapters! GenMAC does not yet support any of the new MiniPCIe-adapters because Willibald, the developer of GenMAC, has no hardware to debug the driver! He got two Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 MiniPCIe and an adapter for his PC from PCIe to MiniPCIe but unfortunately this is not working because the behavior is not the same like in a laptop with MiniPCIe :-( So my idea is to donate him a laptop with MiniPCI/PCI-express plus a port-replicator with serial port that in future he also can develop and debug drivers for new ethernet- and WLAN-cards based on MiniPCIe! Because they are still the best, and a lot people who are using eCS do have this type, I would recommend a ThinkPad T60 with ThinkPad Essential Port Replicator. The smallest model that would meet the requirements and the port replicator you get in Germany for 1300 - 1400EUR including taxes as new item with 3 year warranty. Alternatively s.b. in Germany can borrow him an ThinkPad T60 and a port replicator for some weeks that at least he can fix the 8086x109A and 8086x4222/4227, but for further development we will get the same problems we have now. So who is willing to donate some money that we can buy such a system for him? Please write me an E-Mail to "genmac godawa de" if you can borrow a device or how much you obligatory would like to donate! I will coordinate everything, if the promised amount of donation comes near what we need I will collect the money, I will get the cheapest model that meets all requirements and send it to Willibald. If we collected too much money I will donate the rest to Netlabs.org! I don't know yet how to collect the money the best way from outside EU, any suggestions are welcome! In Germany and the EU the easiest and cheapest way is a banktransfer, in the US my aunt is living so maybe this also could be a way to get "cheap" money from there - or we make a Netlabs.org-sponsoring over Mensys especially for this project ... @Bob/Roderick/Joachim: Is Serenity/Mensys able/willing to donate too? You are also participating from GenMAC for eCS, so it would be nice to get s.th. from there too! Thanks a lot, -- Chau y hasta luego, Thorolf == write to testteam-owner@ecomstation.nl if you want to unsubscribe or change your email-address. --------------040302090708080008010104--
