Fedora :: Inc - Compiling Wireless Drivers - Software Management Tool
Aug 6, 2011
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 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.
[Code]...

On compiling open-vm-tools-8.4.2-261024 on Fedora 13 x86_64. When I run make, it failed on stage 2 with these error messages:
I think I have to compile these modules into the kernel.

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'm looking for something to manage multiple machines.
Within a few weeks we're getting about 32 machines to manage.
We need to manage via SSH, SFTP and mySQL.
Is there something available which gives an overview of the machines and opens a terminal or sftp session with the selected machine, with a shortcut or something like that?

Does anyone know of a similar program for Linux?

Does anyone have a suggestion for a very simple tool I could use to manage sales leads?
I said CRM in the title of this thread, but I don't really need anything that full-featured. All I want is something to help me manage my job search by keeping track of which jobs I have applied for, when I need to phone particular agencies again, and that sort of thing. I have tried installing a couple of Apache-based apps, but they have turned out to be too complicated to set up. I couldn't find a desktop app in the repos, but maybe I have missed something. A cloud-hosted service would probably be OK, so long as it is within my current �0 budget.

Just a quick question, is there a system user management app that could be accessed via a website for red hat (or really any distro)? Something kinda like phpMyAdmin, but can do useradd, userdel, groupadd, etc. For remote admins who don't know how to use ssh or the command line.

Pretty much self explanatory:This morning I went into the update manager, and found a bunch of RPM package-management stuff such as rpm, alien, compiling tools, etc. What is up with this?I suspect they are setting the scenery for some big press release saying they now support RPM packages in Ubuntu too. Any ideas? (or better, inside info from someone who knows)

i started to look into upgrading my LTS ubuntu server instances to Lucid. one the notable things that i have discovered is the lack of support for Webmin; it seems that Debian is no longer supporting packages required by Webmin. But it also appears that ubuntu team believes that Webmin may actually cause problems as it works in a different way than that presumed by Ubuntu. so i am now left with no way to manage my 10+ instances of ubuntu server that i used for studying and research. it seems that i am left with cluster-ssh as an alternative. but are there other alternatives, ideally similar to webmin?

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 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
KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.33.5-2mnb'

As promised the finished (pretty much finished) wireless script can be downloaded here the wireless_script is a diagnostic tool for wireless issues. It will return all relevant information to help diagnose a wireless connectivity problem, return connectivity stats and attempt to fix common problems such as blocks. It comes in cli - wireless_script_1.2.sh or gui - wireless_script_zenity_1.2.sh'
Let me know any issues you have with it. My contact details are in the readme.txt (also the wireless results.txt generated by running the script includes code tags for forums - so please copy and paste the whole document when pasting on forums to enable this function)

I wanted to know how can I cross compile SMS SERVER TOOL for an embedded computer and make just one binary file for it or how can I change all of its default files places like its demon and object file and gather all of them to one directory to execute and use and run.let me explain it better for you : I have an embedded computer with Linux OS that its file system is read only and I can not add any file to /usr /lib and ..... and I can just mount a SD memory card to it and copy all of my programs to it and run them from there as you understand I have two choices to choose, first make one big binary file for each program that I am doing it now and it is not a suitable solution and the second is finding the way to change default place of shared object file of my program.now you tell me what can I do to solving this problem.

I'm using Fedora 14 (standard Gnome desktop) on a x86_64, GCC is not pre-installed. It's from a physical DVD installation, not a live installation. As I need GCC to install my wireless drivers, I have no internet access right now and can't use
Code:
# yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
or
#yum install gcc gcc-c++
or any other yum commands.
My next course of action was to try to call GCC by name, but when searching for it in the terminal, all I get is:
Code:
bash: find/: No such file or directory
Although the Add/Remove Software utility recognizes that I have GCC and all other standard compilers (but does not install them for some reason). So I think, okay, no problem, I'll just download the .rpm and other dependencies from a different computer and add them to my machine with a flash drive since I can't find them within my own OS.
I got gcc-4.5-1-4.fc14.x86_64.rpm, then these additional files as outlined in the error message:
Code:
error: Failed dependencies:
binutils >= 2.20.51.0.2-12
cloog-ppl >= 0.15
cpp = 4.5.1-4.fc14
gliibc-devel >= 2.2.90-12
libmpc.so.2 ()(64bit)
I get as far as installing the cloog binaries before I start getting long lists of failed dependencies, like so:
Code:
# rpm -Uvh cloog-ppl-0.15.7-2.fc14.x86_64.rpm
warning: cloog-ppl-0.15.7.2.fc14.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 97a1071f: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:
libppl.so.7 ()(64bit) is needed by cloog-ppl-0.15.7-2.fc14.x86_64.rpm
libppl_c.so.2 ()(64bit) is needed by cloog-ppl-0.15.7-2.fc14.x86_64.rpm
I go on adding missing dependencies, the next one being libppl.so.7, but
Code:
error: Failed dependencies:
libc.so.6 is needed by libmpc2-32bit-0.8.2-9.1.x86_64
libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.0) is needed by libmpc2-32bit-0.8.2-9.1.x86_64
libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.1.3) is needed by libmpc2-32bit-0.8.2-9.1.x86_64
libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.2) is needed by libmpc2-32bit-0.8.2-9.1.x86_64
libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.3) is needed by libmpc2-32bit-0.8.2-9.1.x86_64
libc.so.6 (GLIB_2.3.4) is needed by libmpc2-32bit-0.8.2-9.1.x86_64
libgmp.so.10 is needed by libmpc2-32bit-0.8.2-9.1.x86_64
libmpfr.so.4 is needed by libmpc2-32bit-0.8.2-9.1.x86_64
I feel like I'm in an infinite loop of failed dependencies. Basically what I want to know, is there a much easier way of doing this that I'm missing? Or should I just tough it out and rpm -Uvh all these lib binaries?

Last year I had a gui tool for configuring the radeon open source drivers in my old slackware install but now I forgot the name of it. I'm pretty sure it was gtk based and no matter what I type in google I can't seem to find any reference to it. There is a radeontool but that's not it. Anyone know what the name for it was, or something else that provides easy configuring of the open source radeon drivers? I remember it had lots of options to configure including some I've never heard of. Thought it'd be easy to find now since it seemed so officially supported during the time I used it!

is how I added the RealTek 8188CE (or other RealTek drivers) to my newly installed Fedora 14 on a Toshiba Satellite L645D-S4056 laptop. This is assuming you have performed a regular install of Fedora 14 and have done nothing else.
1. Download the drivers at the RealTek download page here:URL...Search for your model in the "Download Search" box and selecting the Linux version of the software. In my case I typed in 8188CE and selected RTL8188CE (Software).
2.Extract the downloaded file into the desired location, open a terminal window, and navigate to the folder where you extracted the drivers.
3.Enable Sudo using the following command:su -echo "username ALL=(ALL) ALL" >> /etc/sudoers.Where "username" is your account username.
4.While still logged on as root, type in the following to install gcc and the kernel headers:yum install gcc kernel-devel kernel-headers patch make exit(From this point you really only have to follow the readme.txt instructions in the drivers folder, but I'll add them here)
5.Change to Super User sudo su
6. Compile driver from the source code make
7. Install the driver to the kernel make install reboot

i have just installed Fedora 10 and now my wireless adapter doesn't work and i think it's because i need to install drivers for it.. I have been using Ubuntu for the last few weeks and it worked fine in ubuntu probably because ubuntu comes with drivers for my adapter already installed.. Now, i'm kind of newbie so i don't know where to look and what to do.I did lspci and here is my adapter.. Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)

I've installed Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 on my HP DV2000 laptop and now I want to get my wireless to work by installing the proprietary broadcom drivers (4311, I think). But my internet doesn't work yet obviously, so I need to download the drivers to my thumb drive on my desktop and install them on my non-networked laptop.My issue is that I don't know:a) Where to get the driversb) How to install them from a local drive
