I'm mad at my ignorance and hope some of you will be able to put me out of my misery I have an IBM X22 with Prism 2.5 Wavelan PCI chip with old firmware, which I want to renew in an attempt to get the Wifi working. Here the output of hostap_diag <wlan interface>:
NICID: id=0x8013 v1.0.0 (PRISM II (2.5) Mini-PCI (SST parallel flash))

I can't bring up an Inventel UR054g usb card id 1435:0427 with Slackware 13 custom kernel 2.6.32.4 SMP
Using firmware 2.13.24.0.lm87.arm (supposed to work) gives a time-out
dmesg:
Code:
[ 6611.484643] usb 1-2: firmware: requesting isl3887usb
[ 6611.488702] phy11: p54 detected a LM87 firmware
[ 6611.488705] p54: rx_mtu reduced from 3240 to 2384

I've tried using other firmwares and also extracting them myself from the windows drivers; always gives a time-out.
Used this card before with Slackware 12 and worked correctly
Here is how I got flash to work in prism. Prism was working fine with flash in 9.10 but the 10.4 install caused it to stop working. After doing all of these with no success I decided to open up a terminal and see what the problem was.
Here is what I did prior to finding the problem:
- Purged and reinstalled flash
- Cleared my website storage cache from flash
- Deleted all shortcuts to Prism
- Deleted Prism settings (~/.prism) then purged and reinstalled Prism.
Finally, I decided to open up a terminal and see what was going on. I made a dummy Prism app on my desktop then copied and pasted the 'command' from the properties (right click > properties).
I pasted that in a terminal:
Code:
tye@T:~/Desktop$ "prism" -override "/home/tye/.webapps/dummy@prism.app /override.ini" -webapp dummy@prism.app
It gave me the following output:
Code:
Attempting to load the system libmoon
Segmentation fault
So, knowing that libmoon is part of moonlight I performed the following:
Code:
tye@T:~/Desktop$ aptitude search moonlight
which provided me with this (omitting unimportant results)
Code:
i A moonlight-plugin-core
- Free Software clone of Silverlight 2.0 - plugin core components
i moonlight-plugin-mozilla
- Free Software clone of Silverlight 2.0 - Xulrunner 1.9 plugin
So, I removed the packages and any related packages, like so:
Code:
tye@T:~/Desktop$ sudo apt-get purge moonlight-plugin-core moonlight-plugin-mozilla && autoremove
Made a dummy prism app! Prism was working. So there you have it, moonlight is currently breaking prism. For now uninstall it if you want flash apps to work in prism.

If I want to compile a kernel from source (from kernel.org), including all the drivers I need regardless of their origin, I would not need any firmware-*.deb packages, right? Do the firmware packages add anything that is not present in the latest kernel?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWorking on Debian 7.2.0.
In a specific context I want to automatically make operationnal some USB WiFI devices, deploying automaticaly firwmare (may be not free packages) depending on device ID (vendor ID/product ID). Dev device is a Netgear WNA1000 (driver ath9k, with htc_9271.fw firmware).
I tried to reset the USB bus (modprobe -vr ehci_hcd; modprobe -v ehci_hcd) but it's not really reliable, with sometimes kernel panic.
Is there an "official" way to "mount" the device (the system create the device wlan0) just after deploying the firmware? Maybe using udev ?
I know very little about Debian but have an ASUS T100TA tablet which runs fairly well under Debian 8 Jessie (kernel 3.16.0-4-686-pae). I used the following guide successfully to activate the wireless but am having trouble with the audio section of it.URL...
First, I went here and downloaded the file called 'NEW T100_B.state'.URL....
Then I copied it to /var/lib/alsa/asound.state and ran 'alsactl restore' which reported that i had no soundcards.I then downloaded and expanded linux-firmware-master-intel.tar.gz but am not sure what to do with these files. I copied them to /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-686-pae/kernel/drivers/firmware as they are specific for this kernel, but they don't seem to be doing anything and 'alsactl restore' still tells me that I don't have a soundcard. What do I need to do with these files?
When I run update-initramfs -u I get this error?
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-3-686
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl8168d-2.fw for module r8169
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl8168d-1.fw for module r8169
Anyone knows how I can fix this. According this "log" it seems to be that the firmware have been moved/removed?.. [URL]
It is the firmware for the network card, but it works fine....

i dont know how to install hostap?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have installed a minimal system with openbox window decorator. (without any window manager) when i insert a flash disk to my computer, system doesn't mount it automaticly. i must mount it to a folder to use it.
for example:
I enabled java and flash in Iceweasel 3.5.16 via the related/required packages in the repository so flash-nonfree (or whatever it is) and the related java one. I didn't install either flash or java manually so no plugins that way. Flash and java works in Iceweasel. If I wanted to try Swiftfox, what do I do? I have it installed but both flash and java don't work.
I assume that one has to do the manual installs for both so go to both Flash and Java official sites and install the related Linux package. Will this conflict with my Iceweasel-based java/flash packages? Or do they go in separate directories and files? I don't want a conflict or interference and thus, don't want to break what's working.
im am new in compiling kernel, i had kernel 2.6.32-5 on debian 6 , so i compiled kernel 2.6.38.6 , my system can boot and up but i have a problem with flash disk and CDs and DVDs , now i cant mount these cases, in compiling i select CD-ROM /dvd filesystem and Dos/fat/NTFs filesystem too
View 1 Replies View RelatedThey have broken something in their download site and it is no longer possible to get the latest flash player in a .deb package by direct download. The FTP site is years out of date. And there is no way to get through the "help' system to contact the people running the web site.
So does some third party offer the latest flash player in a .deb package for download?

From what i've been reading on the net I guess it's something to do with the mount - sync option.
I've notice that there are couple of workarounds but all of them are pretty tedious.
Is there any simple (GUI - one/two clicks) tool that allow to mount/unmount flash disk easily using the correct options?

so its not that difficult after all - just use PRISM!log into hotmail on your browser - copy the http: line and add it to PRISM then add your login detail and Voila! all ready to add to the task bar!ok so not the most in depth how-to but if youve been messing about with all the different email apps using Prism will be childs play! if not just message me and ill add more detail.

I can't my system because of this error: Code: linux-firmware: /lib/firmware/radeon/R700_rlc.bin exists in filesystem Note that in the beginning, it asks:
Code: :: Replace kernel26-firmware with core/linux-firmware? [Y/n] There are so many updates by now that the list fills in a few pages in the terminal! Also, I wonder why so many Arch updates get stuck or broken compared to almost any other distro? Is it poorly designed packages? Is it a design flaw in pacman/the package format?
after installing Ubuntu Natty Narwhal 11.04, I'm experiencing tons and tons of complications with the wireless Internet connection. I have solved most of them. Now I have only one thing left. When I hit the drop-down menu for wireless connections, it says "Wireless connection (Firmware missing)"
I have installed the driver for my wireless card but what is the firmware? I honestly don't know what it is although it's very basic. I have a Broadcom 43xx as my wireless card (specifically 4306). How do I get the firmware for it? Do I find it in Windows? Also I cannot get b43-fwcutter because I have absolutely to Internet connection on Ubuntu. To post this, I'm using Windows.
I'm having an issue with the installation. I've downloaded the live ISO and put it on my USB. Everything appeared fine except for the wireless because it requires non-free firmware. The installation tells me that I can insert a USB device with the firmware on it, so I ran to a different computer to download it off the manufacturer's website and put it on the root of another USB.
However, when the installation tries to detect the firmware on the USB, it fails.
The installation is claiming to look for rt2561.bin. I have placed this in the root of the USB as well as the .zip file it came in and a .bz2 file for manual installation of the firmware. Unfortunately, I cannot install the firmware manually either because the system is missing various commands (make, etc.). I am assuming these would be installed automatically with an internet connection.
I have recently upgraded my netbook from 10.04 LTS desktop to 10.10 netbook as I really like the new unity feature.Anyway, I have a couple of prism shortcuts that I use for both my personal and work webmail (both are google apps). When I open them I select them to stay in launcher so they are always accessible. Problem is - as soon as I reboot my machine the prism shortcuts disappear from the Unity launcher. All my other shortcuts like chrome, file browser, open office etc all stay...it's just the prism shortcuts.Has anyone else found the same problem? I have searched the forums and can't find anything.PS Just in case any of you don't know, prism is a tool that lets you create a shortcut to any webpage, with a custom icon and a cut-down version of your browser (i.e. no tool bars cluttering the page) so the shortcut almost works like it's own application.
