yeah, isn't that discouraging? I have a xerox workcenter 35 or some
such. I installed the drivers once (on suse 10 I think) and it worked,
now on SLED10 I can't get it to work.

Too many things like that, still ... can't get the cisco vpn to work,
because my kernel is smp,

??

What version are you using. My lappie is using the standard SMP kernel
(this is the standard one now) and have the CISCO VPN working just
fine.

I'm on version 4.8.00, which is a more recent one I found out there:


jabba:/home/kai # vpnclient
Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 4.8.00 (0490)
Copyright (C) 1998-2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Client Type(s): Linux
Running on: Linux 2.6.18.8-0.5-default #1 SMP Fri Jun 22 12:17:53 UTC
2007 i686
Config file directory: /etc/opt/cisco-vpnclient

I do wish they had a GUI VPN, though...




can't get the SLED/Novell VPN to work,
either for some unknown reason. My buddy that I tried to encourage to
use linux can't get his wireless to work (and neither can I ... he had
to buy an intel).

Frustrating, when used to things "just working" most of the time. But,
I believe the effort is worth it.


And of course, you complain right to the hardware manufacturers' web
sites, right?

I make it a point to send at least one email each day.
