Svethlana and Easymint (Mint 1.18.0)???

[MacFalcon]

Hello,

After I finally installed my supervidel hardwarewise and it worked like a charm under TOS, I now did install the svethlana and easymint. I used latest easymint what gave me mint 1.18 and latest driver from nature homepage. I have no networking, neither with DHCP nor with manual configuration. With dhcp I won´t get an IP, with manual config I cannot do any networkung... But the svethlana seems to be there and when I try to ping my router the svethlana led will start blinking... But more I cannot do...

Any suggestions?

Best regards,

Chris

Hi,
I have opposite problem: Svethlana work in MiNT but not in plain TOS!

check what driver you use in MiNT. I use:
ETHERNAT.XIF 6847 bytes in MiNT\XIF folder (it works fine)


and for plain TOS:
ENEC6.STX 5433 in STING folder - but it wont work!

The Ethernat XIF has nothing to do with the Svethlana. You must have renamed the Svethlana XIF file to make that work.
And no driver exists for Sting/TOS for the Svethlana. Looks like you are trying to use an ethernec driver. It has nothing to do with the Svethlana either.

lol!
and still, svethlana works in my MiNT setup... I forgot how I do install it, maybe somewhere else I have right driver (I use before NetUSbee for LAN...)

regarding Sting: are there any plans in future to support Sting?

Okay, I now have that error again with mint 1.19... With 1.16 svethlana worked fine... Any suggestions?

Merry Christmas anyway!

There must be some API change then in the XIF interface from 1.16/1.17 (under 1.17 the old svethlana.xif works fine for me) and 1.18/1.19. A recompilation of the freemint code package to get a new svethlana.xif might be needed. There are others on this forum who have much greater knowledge of the freemint and XIF source code tree than I have.

Maybe I should try posting this to the mint mailing list...

Best regards and thanks for the reply!
