Well i am no longer in possession of the laptop so i can’t test anymore, but i did run the staged driver(see earlier post) with F14 and it worked.
No sign of the driver being anything but staged though.
Sorry, but i am unable to help further with Agere Nics, but try the staged driver. My guess is that it will work for some time to come.
Stuff you don’t need to read if you only want to make music. I’ll let you know what the solution is when i find it.
Seems i am ”stuck in the middle”. No default rt or preempt kernel for the latest kernel series for F14, Ubuntu Studio which also works with my 3d acceleration for my Radeon card.
Needs looking into. Right now running kernel from CCRMA F14 repository but no 3d for my ATI Radeon 5xxx series card. The card works in 2d but moving a window fast fills it with junk.
Tried akmods but module is not built although i have all dependencies…i think. 
I’ll dig some more.
Ideas?
So i’ve just started but i can already tell Jack is a fantastic piece of software.
Ever wanted to route sound and/or midi from one application to another to any device to any output via ”anywhere”? Well, basically that is what Jack allows you to do.
Jack enables you route audio and midi internally in the computer and to external devices. The graphical interface Jackctl has a simple drag/drop interface. Just drag a source to its destination and you can even have session support integrated into your DAW. QTractor for instance remebers your setup for a song and reloads it when its needed.
Well, setting this up on other platforms may be a ”cakewalk”, pun intended. Please remember i am new to this and it is free software.
I haven’t gotten far enough with my setup to tell you anything useful yet but i’ll be back.

After being inactive on the recording front for a couple of hundred years i have invested in some tech to help(?) me start creating or more like recording music again. Well, i have a piano but its hard(for me) to complete stuff without recording it. This is partly due to the fact that i am not skilled enough in the art of performing. I need some tools. Since i am more into ideas than the art of playing an instrument its not a problem. I just need some tools.
Being an advocate of open source software free as in ”free speech”, not as in ”free as beer”, i have decided to start climbing on what i expect will be a steep learning curve for me. Musical end results aside i hope to be able to contribute back to some of the many projects i will be using. Maybe, i’ll be able to contribute with documentation so that others find it easier to start music creation with open source software.
Well, here is what i got:
- Core i7 generic pc
- Fedora 14 operating system
- Röde NT1A mic
- SM Audio Mic Thing
- Roland FA-66 Firewire audio interface 192KHz/24bit
- Roland A800 Pro midicontroller
- QTractor
- Jack
- Linuxsampler/Qsampler
- Hydrogen
- Fluidsynth/QSynth
- Jack-rack
- Loads of plugins, effects
Older synths:
- Roland Jupiter 6
- Bit-99
- Some old modular synths and drum machines
So its basically just a computer and loads of free software. You need cables, interface, mic and such regardless of what platform you choose for your recording/creative environment.
I have just begun to set it up but i know some of you that did not even know you could produce music using other products than those from Apple may wonder ”What can you do with the software? What software instruments are there?”
Follow me as i discover that myself
