Fedora Hardware :: Ultimate-N 6300 Does Not Work Under F13 - Unsupported - Too Old - EEPROM
Nov 11, 2010
I replaced the old WIFI card (Intel PRO 3945ABG) in my Dell D620 with the new Intel Ultimate-N 6300.
According to intel's website the driver is integrated in the current kernel (mine is 2.6.34.7 61.fc13.i686.PAE) and I have the latest firmware installed as well (iwl6000-firmware-9.221.4.1 1.fc13.noarch) however it does not work.
I tested the card with Windows XP and it works perfect.
The output from "dmesg" is:
Code:
Code:
But with my previous card "lspic -v" will show the driver in use but the new card does not:
Code:
So it detect the card for some reason does not assign it a driver!
And i googled this "Unsupported (too old) EEPROM" and found some results related to Ubuntu but were not useful.
So am I missing something? what does that message mean "Unsupported (too old) EEPROM"?
To make Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 wireless card work on ubuntu, you just need to download the firmware from here decompress it and copy the ucode in /lib/firmware. This works in jaunty. My laptop is a HP Elitebook 8440p.
Someone just erased my HWADDR line from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. How can I obtain my original MAC address?
Code:
ifconfig eth0 does not work (it shows the wrong MAC address) since the HWADDR line from the file I mentioned above was erased. Also there is no ifcfg-eth0.bak backup configuration file.
I'm having trouble dual booting Windows 7 Ultimate and Fedora 14. I am using Grub 0.97 (The grub before Grub 2). I installed Windows 7 after installing Fedora 14 so the damn Windows BL covered up Grub. But I can't get into either Windows or Fedora. I get an Error 17: Cannot Mount Selected Partition. And the system can't find the BL for Windows so it always tells me to restart. And I have both OS' on the same hard disk.
I am using fc14 i686, and I am having a problem with my wireless card. Even though the led of the wireless card lights up the network manager claims that the wireless is disabled. I don't understand what is going wrong.I am a newbie trying to be sth better bur for the time being my only help could be the outputs of the lshw, lspci and lsusb commands.
It's now working... if any of you have this problem:
I'm not sure but I think it's how it worked...
HTML Code:
Last night I updated system including kernel (2.6.32.9-70.fc12.x86-64), then my system couldn't start, I fixed it by booting into a previous version of kernel and:
Code:
Then I was able to boot in newest kernel, nothing blurry or so, but my Desktop Effects won't work ( want compiz to work :P )
When I try System->Preferences->Desktop Effects it says 3D isn't hardware supported.
WHen I tried "compiz --replace" it says:
Code:
I get this at boot.log:
Code:
I went to /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions and in line 520 I found some action() ( I suppose it is the same for everybody...
Now I look at my xorg.conf, and it has only this:
Code:
How could I have my effects working again ? I know a lot of people had problems with newest kernel and nvidia drivers but they all seem to be working after installing akmod ...
I recently did upgrade from F12 to F13 using preupgrade, and I was following the guide from the Fedora project website [URL]
On the section Removing unsupported packages it shows how to find orphaned packages and sugest you remove them. I tried that, found a bunch of packages that I promptly erased. But then I came across
ModemManager-0.4-5.git20100720.fc12.x86_64
I thought "well I don't use a Modem" so I tried to yum erase it. I stopped when I saw that it was trying to also remove the dependencies, a bunch of NetworkManager packages.
My question is, why is ModemManager flagged as an orphan if it has packages depending on it, isn't that wrong?
And also, the recommendation on the guide to remove these packages can be dangerous to people who don't pay attention (imagine someone accidentally removing NetworkManager, no internet).
I will keep the "orphaned" package out of necessity, but something is wrong in this whole deal.
when i want run "ltsp-build-client" command i get this error: ERROR: fc14 is unsupported i want know there is any plan for ltsp 5.2 support in fedora 14 and how i can solve this problem for use ltsp in fedora 14.
My USB ntfs external hard drive mounts fine when I plug it in and I can often copy files with no problems.However, I have some large folders on my machine (~10 GB with ~ 200,000 files) which begin to copy to the external drive but then stop with the error "Unsupportes operation while copying <filename>." The file currently being copied when this happens appears to be random. Does anyone know what the issue is and/or how to fix it?
I recently installed Fedora 15 on a new laptop (after, of course, deleting the pre-installed virus that came with the laptop). I installed the normal suite of tools using yum, including gcc. However, I cannot even build and run Hello World, so now I really feel like I don't know what's going on.
Code: #include <iostream> int main (int argc, const char *argv []) { std::cout << "Hello, world "; } Build: Code: g++ -o main.o main.cc -g -Wall -pedantic g++ -o hello main.o -g -Wall -pedantic -nostartfiles /usr/bin/ld: warning: Cannot create .note.gnu.build-id section, --build-id ignored. /usr/bin/ld: warning: Cannot create .eh_frame_hdr section, --eh-frame-hdr ignored. /usr/bin/ld: error in main.o(.eh_frame); no .eh_frame_hdr table will be created.
That doesn't look too promising, but they are warnings, and an executable was created, so try running it: Code: ./hello ./hello: error while loading shared libraries: ./hello: unsupported version 30277 of Verneed record. I have not had any success understanding what is wrong from googling, so I am now trying it here.

I want to connect to a 300mbit network (802.11n). With Windows (the same Computer) I am able to connect with full speed, but with Ubuntu Maverick (64bit), and a lot of other distros I tested, I am only able to connect with 54mbit. The builtin wireless network card is an Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 35). Is this a driver Problem? I updated to kernel version 2.6.37-rc2 via ppa sources, but with no luck. I tried to extract the windows driver and started it with ndiswrapper, but i properbly made somethng wrong, because the card did not show up, though ndiswrapper said adapter available... oO?
I have an ethernet card that used to work with Linux, but it had its firmware corrutped. (not as a result of the kernel its a different model) I think it had something to do with the thunderstorm I was using the computer in. Anyway, it is an Intel 82562EZ 10/100 Ethernet Controller (rev 01). The device manager in windows xp calls it an Intel PRO/100 VE card, which I think is the same thing. The card works in windows but not in linux. Upon firing up the intel proset software, and running hardware diagnostics the test says the eeprom test failed. Is there any way I can flash the eeprom so I can have a working card?
EDIT: Card fixed after leaving unplugged. It is important to also unplug the power supply connectors from the motherboard as well as capacitors may not discharge otherwise. Also be sure to remove the cmos battery. Oh, yeah don't try to use that intel utility on integrated networking devices. "IBAUTIL is not intended as a utility for LAN-On-Motherboard (LOM) [integrated] implementations."
I'm trying to learn about reflashing bios and eventually play with coreboot on some old machines I have lying around.Every machine I try to run flashrom on I get Quote:flashrom v0.9.2-r1001 on Linux 2.6.35-gentoo-r12 (i686), built with libpci 3.1.4, GCC 4.4.4flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org
No coreboot table found. Found chipset "VIA VT82C686A/B", enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI.
I'm looking for any snippet to manage MAC address via C code in Linux. I tried to write some code to change eth0 mac address writing it in smc911xx eeprom. What I did is the following..
#... some includes... ... int skfd; struct ifreq ifr;
My older motherboard is a MSI K7D Master which had two AMD Athlon 1800 MP's installed. My new motherboard is a HDAMA Rev G which has two AMD Opteron Socket 940 CPUs 2.4Ghz installed. When both chips are installed, Fedora will freeze when putting the system under load (i.e when transferring data). This has now happened to both the motherboards, once I remove the second CPU the system will run perfectly.
I think it may be a kernal problem as this also happens on other linux distributions. I have posted here for several reasons, a) to allow any other person searching for a fix a solution (all be it not a good solution), b) to request help on fixing this issue or request to who and where I should report this bug, c) to see if any other users are having the same issues. I should add that I once had the MSI mobo used in conjuntion with Windows Home Server which never had a problem when both chips were installed.
Alright this is my first post on here and I hope I got sufficient Information for you available. I ran Ubuntu based Distros before but this is the first time under a Debian based Distro for me. I got a newlaptop and this one does not seem to let me get my wireless to work after multiple efforts
My problem: My Intel Centrino N-6300 () does not seem to find any network connections.
My previous attempts: (Some of which required me to reinstall Suse)
1. I installed new kernels as my first assumption was that the kernel was not supporting it. I know now that it is supported.
2. I installed drivers from http://intellinuxwireless.org/ which was pointless.
3. I installed backports (THat was still under Linux Mint. Same problem there.)
4. I tried NDiswrapper without success.
5. I checked rfkill as you can see further down below.
Alright here are some of my info's I have collected so far. Let me know if anything is missing.
RFkill: 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no
I wrote a driver that scans on startup dynamically for available EEPROM's on a certain IC bus. For each EEPROM a new character device is created in /dev like:
I managed to successfully upgrade FC11 to FC13. While doing the post upgrade steps, I made a HUGE mistake. After identifying the unsupported packages, I used "yum remove package1 package2" command to remove the obsoleted ones without realizing the yum was also removing many FC13 packages! Here are the cmd sequence used:
I simply typed Yes and left unattended for a few minutes after yum prompted there were # of packages to be removed as I blindly believed it would do the job. After returning to the computer, I found many installed icons were disappearing, the wireless suddenly turned off etc. I killed the yum process right away but it was too late.
-Is there anything I could do to undo the yum remove process?
I upgraded the wireless card in my laptop (sony VAIO CW) due to the original Atheros being incurably slow.The new card is an Intel 6300 ultimate n. In Windows 7, after installing the relevant drivers everything worked without a hitch.In my Ubuntu 10.04 installation, however, I have been unable to get it working.Initially I had the compat-wireless modules installed (linux-backports-modules-wireless-generic), as I had done so to try and get the Atheros card working better. I tried removing all of these, and that made the difference that iwconfig now (instead of nothing) listed
I am new here and I have tried checking similar threads as well as other sources in the net but could not get my card working. I use Debian squeeze on a P4 2.4MHz machine with 2 GB ram. lspci can detect all 8 chips but could not load the proper module since it could not identify the vendor. I have tried unloading the SAA7134 module and reloading repeatedly all possible cards from 1 to 174 by "modprobe -i SAA7134 card=#,#,#,#,#,#,#,# #-numbers 1 to 174 one a a time.
I make upgrade from CentOS 5.4 to CentOS 5.5. Architecture is historical i386. On first boot my system was freezed by disabled earlier but not removed manualy writed xdm service. I disable it. But not found network. I see hardware address of card fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. This address is not normal. But how to restore eeprom of this network adapter?
I don't think its trouble of new CentOS. I think this is random incident.Configuration of computer is Intel D510MO motherboard with integrated atom processor and realtek 8111dl nic. I know some trics about fix mac address in centos, but how to fix this address in bios?
I don't want to re-install, mine is Ubuntu Ultimate 2.8, the update manager is running well, whenever I log in, it will prompt me to update. However, I find no way to upgrade it from 2.8 to 2.9 the latest version, if u know how to do it, can u teach me?
Cursor Selection not working in Ubuntu Ultimate,the pop up windows shown, there are different mouse cursors to choose, but there is no icon to click OK to select it,
