I solved the problem recompiled the kernel.
I dunno how but now wifi works correctly.

Hi folks :-)
debian testing with kernel 2.6.27.9 and last stable version of ndiswrapper 
(1.53).

Macbook 4.1 with wireless so:
Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03)

I correctly compiled ndiswrapper and I using win driver bcmwl5.inf:
the wifi network works but only 700Kb/s in download :-/

using other wifi ethernet the network speed is almost 2,0Mb/s, so access point 
is ok.

There's a problem with my linux client but I'd like how probe it.
Any idea?

Thanks!
Pol

There is a bug open on bugzilla related to this :
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11211

But I've no idea if it's still not working, or whether it appliets to
the 4.1 as well.
If you do test it please report back, since I'm kinda interested on
that as well :)

Hi folks :-)

I found the cable (original apple) to connect my macbook to tv.

Before of buy this cable, I need know if there's any problem to connect the 
macbook on tv using linux.

Someone has already done?
Thanks

Well; luckily you have an interface(wlan0);
which tells me that the module is correct.
I think you were loading both modules
at the same time(causing confusion);

regards;

Justin P. Mattock

Yes, I Can see "wmaster0", "wlan0" and a strange "pam0" interfaces. The 
strange thing is that with a clean installation or with a live-CD, wlan0 shows 
the available networks and can connect to them, but after having installed 
madwifi, and then uninstalled it (or blacklisted the ath_pci module), the wlan0 
interface find any network. And yes, all the interfaces are up (thank you very 
much, k11stan).

My macbook version is (2,1), and I have never used the bcmxx module, no 
broadcom chips are present in this version.

Thank you very much

No no problem at all.
when you do a iwconfig, do
you see only "lo", or do you see
"lo", "wmaster0", etc..
I can't remember  what macbook you
have, but maybe you need the bcmxx
module instead.

Justin P. Mattock

OK, I've blacklisted ath_pci and then on reboot ath9k has been loaded instead 
of madwifi. Sadly, the problem remains, and no networks are found in any way. 
It's totally incredible.

I'm sorry to cause you so much trouble. Thank you very much

Hello,

Is it possible to boot Linux from a USB drive without modifying the Mac?

I installed Ubuntu on a USB drive, but the drive does not come up as a
boot option.

All the information I can find on the web is for booting from various
boot managers on the startup drive.  Is this really the only way?

Thanks,
Peter

PS: Sorry if this is a dupe.  I previously sent it from the wrong address.

Well make sure you blacklist one
Of them, this way there's no confusion. Running ath9k here
Seems perfect.

Regards;

justin P. Mattock

Thanks Justin,

But the problem is that the interfaces don't work properly. For example, if  I 
execute:
 iwlist wlan0 scan
No networks are found, although there is an AP with WEP encryption near the 
computer. Moreover, I'm using wicd as my network manager. On the other side, 
if I test a Kubuntu Intrepid live-CD, wifi works well with ath9k.

I think that the problem is that the madwifi installation has removed or 
replaced some key modules of ath9k, but is strange, because the problem 
remains after booting with different kernels.

Again, thank you very much for your help;

Tomas

Hmm I experience the same issue,
i.g. wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iath0(or wlan0) -c /etc/*
seems to gives me nothing,
but if I use NetworkManager both modules
run fine.
maybe try an older version of wpa_supplicant,
or use NetworkManager, or wicd.

Hi everybody,

I have a macbook (2,1) with Kubuntu Intrepid x86_64 installed. Since wireless 
works out of the box with ath9k, I've installed the madwifi driver (trunk 
r3878) because of better performance and network detection. The problem is 
that if I want to go back to ath9k, no networks are found and I'm unable to 
connect to anyone. What I did is to reinstall the linux-generic package (at 
the moment 2.6.27-11-generic). The wmaster0 and wlan0 interfaces are 
sucesfully created, but they don't work. No special dmesg messages are shown.
What can I do to recover wireless with ath9k?

Thank you very much for your help,

Tomas

Okay, I realize the sound quality sounds like it's missing a
subwoofer.  This is bad.  Anyone figured out how to find out ways to
make subwoofer do some work?

Hi!

lines. So:
1) Are you using the "firmware patch" or a recent kernel that should work without firmware. Double-check if setup is correct?
2) Did you compile your kernel yourself? If so, did you forget something when configuring v4l?
Unfortunately I am no expert on v4l and the last thing I can suggest is to ask google for topics on that error message

Hello List,

I am installing (Debian Lenny) Linux on my brand new Aluminium MacBook.
fortunately enough the wired ethernet and the wireless ethernet work great
separately (even if the wired works at slow speed).
Now I would like to make them work together: apparently there is no canonical way
to do so. I have set up a bridge machinery, but I am not so sure that it is a good idea
as wireless stuff are not ready for bridge (see Debian README).

My first thought was to replicate what Mac OS does.
But on Mac OS ifconfig gives something that I can not decipher:
can anyone give some hint to understand it ?
or better, give an good alternative to my bridge machinery ?

Thanks in advance,
Jerome

I would have no idea on how to debug
isight, maybe through mplayer
i.g. mplayer tv:// -vf mirror
should give you some info, also
anything with lsusb

Replying to my own messge.

I posted this on the Ubuntu forums and received a very speedy reply:

This solved the problem.

Thanks go to _mario_

BOFH excuse #80:

That's a great computer you have there; have you considered how it would work as a BSD machine?

I was happily using Ubuntu 8.04 with the mactel patches and latest
pommed for quite some time without any issues.  The keyboard backlight
was working as expected, as was the LCD backlight and volume keys.  In
short, all the Fn keys were working as expected.  My setup at that time
was using a patched 2.6.25 kernel using a fix as noted here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/207127/comments/26

I now had to install Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) because of a hard drive
failure and new hardware and have been struggling to get everything
working again.

With the default installation of Ubuntu 8.10, booting into GNOME,
everything works!  But, I personally don't use GNOME, and rather have
used svn Enlightenment DR17 windowmanager and Entrance as the login
manager.  I don't use GNOME at all, but keep everything installed
because there are so many packages that are dependent on it.  

Apparently, to get everything working I need to have gnome-power-manager
and gnome-settings-daemon loaded.  I also need to have the applesmc and
mbp_nvidia_bl modules loaded.  

Having the modules load at boot is not a big deal, but I would rather
not have to be tied to gnome-appearance-daemon or gnome-power-manager if
at all possible.  Therefore, I tried to install pommed (latest).  This
causes the automatic backlight to work properly, but the Fn keys don't
do anything at all.  xev gives me keysyms for all the function keys, but
pommed/gpomme does not recognize it.

Is there any way to have keyboard backlight, LCD backlight, volume and
eject keys working without having to load gnome-power-manager (controls
the backlights) or gnome-settings-daemon (controls the volume and
eject)?

Thank you.
