My month-old by-a-friend install has failed on my Acer notebook BCM4318 setup. The Nework Config gui says no signal, and the wifi light is out on the keyboard. What shell commands should I invoke to get the diagnostic info with which to ask an intelligent question about this?<br> <br> Thanks,<br> <br> Green<br> <br> <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:ndi...@li...">ndi...@li...</a> wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:mai...@li..." type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Send Ndiswrapper-general mailing list submissions to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:ndi...@li...">ndi...@li...</a> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ndiswrapper-general">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ndiswrapper-general</a> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:ndi...@li...">ndi...@li...</a> You can reach the person managing the list at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:ndi...@li...">ndi...@li...</a> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Ndiswrapper-general digest..."

That it did with mine as well. But, everytime I boot, "ifconfig -a" doesn't show wlan0 until I manually do "modprobe ndiswrapper". This isn't right, right? ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 10:36:42 -0400 From: Pavel Roskin <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:pr...@gn..."><pr...@gn...></a> Subject: Re: [Ndiswrapper-general] SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory To: Andy <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:and...@gm..."><and...@gm...></a> Cc: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:ndi...@li...">ndi...@li...</a> Message-ID: <1185460602.13670.3.camel@dv> Content-Type: text/plain On Thu, 2007-07-26 at 10:24 +0000, Andy wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">ndiswrapper -l: lsbcmnds : driver installed device (14E4:4318) present </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""><!---->[skip] </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">ndiswrapper version 1.44 loaded (smp=no) Adding 597232k swap on /dev/hda2.

To make ndiswrapper handle the device, you need to blacklist or remove bcm43xx module. The error comes from bcm43xx and is caused by the lack of the firmware. </pre> </blockquote> <br> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://sanctifusion.blogspot.com">http://sanctifusion.blogspot.com</a> Are you sanctifused?</pre> </body> </html> |
