Fedora :: Compiling Drivers For ASUS PCI - G31
Nov 7, 2010
I am trying to compile the drivers for my new wireless adapter card. It has me copy a specific configuration based on my Kernal (2.6 which is supported) to a Makefile, then "make all."I get an error after performing this task stating that the path ending in /build is not a directory. I follow the path to /build and "build" is shown in red letters with a black box around it. Just for fun I attempted MKDIR build, and it stated "file exists" ls-la says it is not a directory. I think this is where it is bombing, from the Makefile:
make -c /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build SUBDIRS=$(shell pwd) modules

I have a Wireless PCI-Express Adapter which I wish to install the drivers, though am having difficulty. The chipset on my card is a Ralink. I have visited the Ralink Website Ralink corp. and downloaded the RT2860 Wireless Lan Linux Driver version 2.3.0.0. I have extracted the files within my home directory. I have read the readme file, and from what I understand I have needed to do... I have typed in the Make command as a "super user". Unfortunately I have had no success and it states the following output.

I've just installed Fedora this morning. In the past I've tried OpenSuse and Ubuntu. OpenSuse has it's problems and I don't like Ubuntu's new "Unity" GUI, so I wanted to try something else.
1. I got my first error about 1 minute after loading, when I tried to do a software update.("could not add package update for fedora-release-rawhide-15-3(noarch)updates: fedora-release-rawhide-15-3.noarch"). Not sure what that's about, but I found a solution on these forums (just using yum update on the command line).
2. My wireless card (Realtek) is not working. It took me ages (days) to figure out how to get it to work in OpenSuse. I had to compile the driver from source and install the firmware. I'm trying to do the same in Fedora, but am getting an error I don't understand.
On OpenSuse I had to install "Linux Kernel Development", "C/C++ Development" and "Base Development" from YaST, then compile using "make" on the command line. In Fedora I've installed gcc gcc-c++, kernel-devel and kernel-headers using yum. When I try and make the file, I get the following error:
[Code]....
3. I can't find any kind of software management tool in Fedora, just the yum thing on the command line. I don't mind that, but how do I know the names of the things I want to install? Is there some way I can search for software or something?

I would like to install Fedora 11 on an ASUS P5L-VM 1394 motherboard with a 3 GHz Pentium 4 CPU. This is an LGA775 socket mobo with a Intel 945G chipset. Two SATA hard drives are plugged into SATA ports. An IDE DVD drive is plugged into the IDE/ATA port. Using the 32 bit Fedora 11 installation disk, I have seen two cases:
1) No hard drive recognized. When i get to the disk configuration screen, there are no options to choose from.
2) By monkeying around with the BIOS settings or switching the SATA ports the disks are connected to, I can get an alternative mode in which no drivers are found for the DVD drive either.
Currently, a version of Ubuntu is installed. UPDATE: The board was purchased in a P3-PH4C barebones, which for unknown reasons requires a different BIOS issue than the regular P5L-VM 1394. Updating to the most recent BIOS does not resolve the problem. One the installation procedure fails to recognize the hard drives, going into a shell and examining the boot up log shows that the kernel recognized both hard drives. So it's down to why the installation procedure is not recognizing them.

I have a wifi card that has a generic driver through ubuntu that doesn't give it near the capabilities it has with another driver I found at another website. I compiled this driver myself and installed it, but after an update all effects of that driver seem to be gone.

I have an Asus UL80vt laptop. This laptop has an integrated (Intel) as well as a discrete (Nvidia 210m) graphics card.
I want to use the nvidia proprietary drivers because from what I understand, it's the easiest way to set up dual monitors (I have an external monitor). I installed the latest nvidia driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53. When I try to run the NVidia X Server Settings GUI, it tells me that "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. "
I checked out my xorg.conf and changed the device driver to 'nvidia' instead of 'nv'. Curiously, when I run nvidia-xconfig, it changes the intel device to 'nvidia' which is a problem. So i skipped running that and just stuck with my xorg.conf. When I run startx, I get a message saying "failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device PCI:1:0:0".
I've combed through multiple forums which state different kinds of solutions and I've tried different kernel options such as 'vmalloc=512m' or 'noapic' to no avail.
P.S. I've attached my xorg.conf file

I would really like to try and do a Netinstall on my laptop with it. I know I could just download the CD's/a DVD, but I would rather customize it for my laptop, and I've heard that's the fastest way. The problem is that I have to compile the drivers for both my wireless and my wired internet. I have guides to compile both the wireless [URL] and wired [URL] internet. I was wondering if there was a way to compile these drivers in a Netinstall (preferably the wireless, but wired if necessary)?

I've made the real mistake of buying a laptop with a Broadcom wifi adapter on it. (That thwacking sound is me kicking myself for not noticing after spending weeks and weeks carefully choosing the model I wanted.)
lspci gives this:
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4727 (rev 01)
I have downloaded the 32 bit drivers from here (am running Mandriva 2010.1 Free 32 bit). The readme indicates the 4727 is supported by the latest OS drivers amazingly. [URL]. I have installed the Linux kernel source files.
First problem comes with the first instruction in the readme.
# mkdir hybrid_wl
# cd hybrid_wl
# tar xzf <path>/hybrid-portsrc.tar or <path>/hybrid-portsrc-x86_64.tar.gz
The tar instruction just does nothing, so I just right clicked in Dolphin and unpacked it to its own directory. I navigated the terminal to where it unpacked and did make. I got this:
Code:
[robertw@localhost hybrid-portsrc-x86_32-v5.60.48.36]$ make

There are currently two options for nVidia drivers in Lucid Lynx, 173, and current. With the video card in my laptop, 9650m GT, the 173 drivers work but Docky is painfully, unusably slow. With the "current" drivers, Docky is fine but I get progressively worse and worse static-type lines across my screen and eventually it the machine restarts itself. I've tried installing drivers manually but they won't compile against the kernel.
Before installing Lucid, I had 9.04 Jaunty installed, and Docky (at the time still merged with gnome-do) worked without a hitch. I ran into this error first when I installed 9.10 and decided to go back to 9.04, hoping that it would be fixed. I can't remember which version of the nVidia drivers I was using in Jaunty, but is there any way to go back to those drivers in Lucid?

Fedora 12 is nearly turnkey on my Asus EEE 1000 SSD netbook. I just needed a few tweaks to get the wireless and touchpad seutp. All of this info is scattered in various places including right here on the FedoraForum, but I thought if it would help just one more person to have it all in one place, then so be it.
1) I used the Fedora 12 i686 Live iso.
2) I installed it on a 1GB thumbdrive using my desktop Fedora 11 system:
sudo livecd-iso-to-disk Fedora-12-i686-Live.iso /dev/sdg1
3) While booting the EEE, hit the Esc key and select the USB device of the thumbdrive. Make sure a wired ethernet is plugged in. We will restore the wireless later.
4) Pick the defaults, except when it comes to the disk partitioning. I have the pair of SSD drives, one 8GB and the other 32GB. I reduced the swap volume size to 2GB to match the memory in the device rather than using the 4GB default (2x memory) and increased the / volume size to the max. I planned on turning off swapping and only intended to use the swap space for the sleep/hibernate functionality. Otherwise, I let the installation setup the layout. a /boot with 200MB of space, 2gb swap volume, and the rest under LVM covering both SSDs.
5) Finish the installation. Reboot and create your user.
6) Apply any patches that are available using SoftwareUpdate. Reboot if necessary.
7) Now time for setting up the wireless. We need the rt2860 driver. This is available in the rpmfusion.org repro. First we need to set it up. Bring up FF and use this url:

Installed on my notebook ASUS X59SL Fedora 13. Once logged in, 10-15 minutes in the right half of the monitor changes color from blue to green with small ripples. That same thing happened on my Fedora 12 on kernel versions above 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686.PAE. Needless to Fedora 13 work under this kernel.

Trying to install 64-bit F13 or F14 on an Asus P5KC, 2.4Ghz Q6600, 4GB OCZ RAM is proving futile.Initially Fedora 13 would boot, but after the initial yum update it picked up a delay of about a minute at the'Starting mdmonitor' stage, although it was not mdmonitor causing this, as disabling the service simply moved the delay on to the 'Starting system message bus' stage.I could and was living with this for few days, then more updates were available, so I hoped they'd fix it and applied them. Bad mistake as now Fedora 13 now gets stuck permanently at this point. Even after a fresh re-install and update.Fedora 14 does exactly the same thing, it's fine (bar some graphical glitches when booted) until I run 'yum update', then it dies in the same way.On both installations, attempting to boot the previous kernel doesn't help, so I don't think it is the kernel itself but a change that is made to the system during the update process. I know the machine's hardware is fine, before being formatted it was a file server running CentOS 5.1 with an uptime in excess of 200 days.

How to get my bluetooth working thats integrated in my laptop (Asus g51).
I have the tools installed that manage things, but it doesn't see anything.
Any troubleshooting tips?
I have tried looking for something in the output of lsusb, lshal, and lspci. No dice there. The Bluetooth application (bluetooth-properties) doesn't see an adapter present. And there is nothing in dmesg either. The device worked under Ubuntu 9.10 and of course the preload of Vista that came on the machine when I got it from the store.

I haven't been able to find anything really useful on google either. Was hoping you guys could point me somewhere or explain a process that might work. What I've tried so far is downloading the driver from ralink and trying to follow their procedure for getting it setup. Following the readme I get lost at step 3 and attempting to make it, I get:
[boardbox@niflheim ~]$ cd Desktop/2010_07_16_RT2860_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.0
[boardbox@niflheim 2010_07_16_RT2860_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.0]$ make
make -C tools
[code]...
but this hasn't fixed my problem either. I can see networks but I can't connect to anything, so kinda still stuck at square one.
EDIT: Turns out in frustration and absent-mindedness I didn't reboot and that fixed it.

I have a small problem with getting sound to come through my headphone jack with Fedora 13. I switched to Fedora 13 from uBuntu and I had the same problem on uBuntu. I fixed the problem, but I don't remember exactly how. I think it was something to do with editing the alsa audio conf file, but the file is named differently in Fedora. The sound works fine from the internal speakers, but when I plug in the headphones I get nothing. Anyways, I'm on an Asus EEE 1005HA using Fedora 13 32bit.

There is already a couple of "freezing" discussions surrounding Fedora 13, but as the problem seems to exist still with Fedora 14 x86_64 I decided to launch another thread.
SYMPTOMS:
* System freezes 'random' running GNOME or KDE (latest versions) - can happen in 10 sec after login, or in 3 hours after login.
* Looks like it does not freeze that often while in 'idle'.
* May reboot by itself or not - may require manual cold-boot.
* a Kernel crash is created with information:
REASON: WARNING: at drivers/pci/search.c:44 ci_find_upstream_pci_bridge+0x55/0x6d()
CONFIGURATION:
* ASUS P7P550 board with 8G RAM, 0-7 Intel Core i7 CPU
* 2 HDDs / SATA, default layout, LUKS
* NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT running with NVIDIA Driver Version 260.19.12, dual monitors.
I've already submitted an KernelOops.
a) fixing b) workaround c) a hardware issue? I have Fedora 14 64-bit running on my Lenovo W700 laptop w. Nvidia drivers as well - not a single problem exists (well, except that loading issue that keeps you moving mouse to work...)

I recently built a system using an Asus P8H67-M LE motherboard, 4GB ram, and an Intel core i5-2500K processor. Fedora 14 won't work on it.
I installed F14 32bit from the install DVD, had to install with the basic video driver. When I booted for the first time, it took me through the setup dialog (timezone, create user ....) but then just crashed. It restarted the final setup again upon hard reset. I tried booting into runlevel 2 and did a yum update (early march) from my local repository(usb hdd), but still no joy. The system seems to be ok, but the GUI crashes.
I have tried booting nomodeset xdriver=vesa, but no joy.

Running Fedora 12, I am attempting to compile an application. The README file tells me that I need Qt 4.6.3. Clicking on System - Administration - Add/Remove Software, I find many packages having something to do with qt, but nothing looks like what I need. Is this available as a package for Fedora? If not, what would I need to do to download and use qt on my system?

I am compiling and installing the custom kernel based on the instructions provided in Building_a_custom_kernel on fedoraproject.org/wiki site.
However, according to the instructions, anytime I change anything in the kernel source files(e.g /driver/ata/libata-core.c), I have to create a patch a rebuild the whole kernel and install this new kernel which takes 2 hours. Is there a simpler way of recompiling what has changed(without creating patch) and try that changed kernel? Since my changes are not in the drivers which can be dynamically loaded but is in the static code of the kernel, it is making life cumbersome.Are there any instructions for this? How does other kernel developers manage this?

Fedora 13 on Asus P5Q Premium, E7500 hangs after 10mins to 2 hour. After some trial and error, I found that the problem could be related to yum although it could be that it is only by running yum that I've been able to trace the problem. On runlevel 3 (to make sure it's not an X server problem), system hangs and prints the following message on the screen (copied it by hand, still have to figure out where to find it after system restart):
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00...0695
Ooops: 0000 [01] SMP

I have a hw RAID setup but the problem is the same, only the numbers are a bit different.
It is not a hw-related problem either because both the latest Suse and Kubuntu install without problems (although both seem to have problems in starting with RAID installed, normal disk is OK). Of course, I only have myself to blame because Asus says that this mb is compatible with FC8 - I haven't been able to test because my machine seems to have problems in booting from install DVD - but I suspect it is because that was the time this mb was launched and they haven't tried it on more recent Fedora distros.
Interestingly enough, the same problem comes with F12 and F11, didn't have energy to go further back. I've been using RedHat since ver 5.2. and would hate to give up following the path now. Fedora just stands out from the crowd so much that I can tolerate some inconveniences. This is just a bit too much.
