I'm posting this over here because apparently the people with the problems can't login to haiku-os to post their issue. Please follow the thread here:

[Resolved] Network connection on Asus EeePC 901

Forum thread started by paulfxh on Sun, 2008-11-16 11:32

I've just installed a Haiku trunk image to a small partition on my EeePC 901 20GB where it now forms part of a triple boot system (Ubuntu 8.04.1, Xandros).
Haiku works well and is amazingly fast (boots in 11 seconds).
However, there's no internet apparently because no drivers for the EeePC network cards (RaLink Unknown device 0781 and Attansic Technology Corp. Unknown device 1026) are provided in the Haiku image.
I've tried this driver http://www.haikuware.com/view-details/drivers/network/attansic_l2zip built by karl but it doesn't work for me.
I also tried to contact the author of the source code http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/haiku/haiku/trunk/src/add-ons/kernel/drive... for this driver to know if it in a working condition or not right now. But I couldn't get a contact address.
Does anybody know anything more about the status of network drivers in Haiku for the EeePC?

Haiku on QEmu

Forum thread started by gall1314 on Thu, 2008-11-13 01:29

I've been running the nightly builds on Q (the OS X version of QEmu), but it runs painfully slow. Is this normal? Is there a way to speed things up?

Thanks.

DVI support?

Forum thread started by apprentice on Tue, 2008-11-11 20:23

I was just wondering about what is the status of driver support for cards that have a DVI connector? I have a Geforce fx 5200 based card that has DVI port but dual booting haiku/linux is a pain since when using vga the image quality is well... poor compared to DVI-A (at least in linux)

How to get involved

Forum thread started by eldi on Mon, 2008-11-10 02:20

Hi all,

I’ve been exploring Haiku a bit lately and would like to get involved somehow. I’m not a developer but I'm sure there's plenty of things that need to be done. If it helps to know my professional background I’m in tech support, predominantly supporting and maintaining Windows XP desktops and Windows 2003 Server/Citrix Presentation Server. Additionally I have reasonable knowledge of Linux and Mac OS X from my own personal use.

I also have fairly extensive audio production/editing/sound design experience and some video editing experience if anything is needed on that front.

I've never gotten myself actively involved in a community project like this before, so I have no idea how to get started! Any advice would be greatly appeciated.

Cheers,

- Steve

Student participation

Forum thread started by josvanweert on Sun, 2008-11-09 13:44

Hi there,

My name is Jos van Weert and I'm a professor/teacher at Avans University at 's-Hertogenbosch in The Netherlands. I work at the department of Informatics.

The next quarter (starting tomorrow) my students have to do a project where they use C++ in combination with design patterns. The students are in the final year (4 years) of their study, software engineering (bachelor degree). They are pretty experienced over all programmers.

What I'm looking for is some interesting projects for 2 groups of students. The group size is about six students and they have got 8 to 9 weeks to do the job. They will get support from two teachers with years of experience at C++.

I've had a short IRC-chat with "Elly". He proposed to do an application programming task instead of diving in really deep, an os-programming task. Maybe you´ve got some other thoughts.

I know that the community sometimes assigns a mentor to a student. Maybe that´s also possible this time?

I've been following the BeOS-project for a decade now and I think this is the time for me to give something back.

I hope to get a reaction.
If you need more information feel free to mail me or even call me.
See my profile for my phone number and mail adres.

With regards,
Jos van Weert

Nightly image distinction

Forum thread started by Superhyper on Thu, 2008-11-06 01:43

I have a silly question, what is the difference between the nightly and the pre-alpha images available on Haiku files?
