I am looking for a driver to use with the Sabrent PCI-G802 WiFi Ethernet card on Slackware. I found a link about this card on LinuxQuestions but the URL mentionned are no longer valid. Slackware does not seem to recognise the card on installation.
View 2 RepliesI have another question, complete beginners question. I have a HP computer that is running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala and everything works great, including the Wireless Card, a Sabrent USB-G802 WiFi USB dongle. I tried to upgrade to 10.04 two ways, off of a Live CD, and with the direct upgrade. They both installed correctly, and worked fine, but did not recognize my WiFi dongle. Is there anyway to make it work?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI bought this wireless card because alot of people said it worked out of the box and it almost worked... Ubuntu recognizes it and the wireless module is activated I just can't seem to scan for networks or connect to them... So I am listing some outputs for you guys and hopefully there is an easy fix.

I cannot get my Sabrent USB wireless adapter to work, please help me as I am a beginner in Linux! In their readme, they have two methods:
1.) Compiling a driver from the source code, but they do not give any instructions and I am lost on how to do that.
2.) Copying the firmware files directly to the lib/firmware folders. I did that but when I ran sudo ./wlan0up and sudo .wlan0down, but everything I do results in a "Could not get interface for wlan0"
I just installed Ubontu 9.10 and I am a first time user. I am attempting to run my Sabrent usb 2.0 wireless-N ieee 802.11n device with Ubontu but I cant seem to figure it out. I can not access it as a regular usb device and I can't access the installation driver. The device loads up an installation screen when I use it on windows so I know its not the device. Not sure how to install it or to get it to run from here.
This is what I have done thus far:

I recently installed Slackware Linux 13.1 , and my Wireless is down. I've only installed 3 Linux disto's on my main laptop (Ubuntu 9.10 , 10.04 , and Crunchbang Linux 9.04 , just had Crunchbang), and they all had the same problem. In all three , I was able to enable Windows Wireless drivers and every thing worked. Now , I'm assuming I have to the same ting in Slackware? Sorry , but I have no idea what my wireless card is. But I know that my laptop is a Dell Insprion E1705. One last thing , I did ifconfig and that wlan0 is my Wi-Fi interface. I typed ifconfig wlan0 up to see if that was the problem. After I did that , I got and error message. Then I typed ifconfig wlan0 down to see if it was down and it made wlan0 down. I tried bringing it up again , but I got an error saying it couldn't find the device specified. Also , how do I install XFCE? I really don't like KDE for some reason and would like to install XFCE. I chose XFCE over GNOME (my favorite) because I want to try something new.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIm trying to get away from the world of M$ into linux and I think slackware is the way to go for me. In particular SW13-64bit. My question is though I dont see many hardware manufacturers supporting SW, but I do see suse and redhat. How hard/possible is it to use redhat suse drivers for slackware? Can they be modified/rebuilt?
Im also considering buying a cheap server off ebay to use. Can someone let me know if any of the following would cause an issue with slackware?In particular the Adaptec sata raid controller which I want to run in raid 5.
How much support does Slackware have for drivers?I have an Asus motherboard, and the onboard sound doesn't work with Ubuntu, and also it won't recognize my HP printer.Would I have better luck with Slackware?

I know that current just pushed kernel 2.6.33 down, but has anyone been successful in building the nvidia drivers against this new kernel? I'm not having any success with the 190 driver and the 195 beta driver. There are some patches that I found on the nvidia forum, but so far, nothing is working.

I have spent over half of the day, literally, trying to get my server to parse perl and be able to use perl scripts to interact with my SQL server. Has anyone been able to get it to work? Only looking for answers to Slackware. There are a lot of resources for FC and Ubuntu, but that does me no good. I checked the Slackbuilds for their builds, and built the libdbi and libdbi-drivers package, but still cannot get it to communicate.

I read somewhere that the compositor of XFCE make a nice effect. But when I activated it became significantly slower. I have a core i7 and a Ati 5730, with the latest Ati drivers.
I need to do something in xorg.conf or another configuration?
My Nvidia card broke down recently, I replaced it with Ati Radeon 2600HD Pro.
Now I have no compositing, everything freezes or it's just dead slow.
As for now I'm using fglrx drivers, but I've tried xorg drivers before, without success either.

I install the ATI drivers yesterday and today I've realised that it broke my sound. I have a HDA nVidia sound card built in (with a Realtek chip), but when I run alsaconf, it doesn't find it. It tries to use either the ATI HDMI audio port or a legacy generic driver. Any hints as to how I can fix this?

I've been told about some kind of xorg.conf file that doesn't exist- xorg.conf-vesa does though, I assume that's vesa drivers and theres something else for other drivers.

After I did that jack wouldn't start at all, insisting that there were no recognized drivers, even when I had the alsa driver selected (alsa is working fine, by the way... I have sound). After doing some more research I uninstalled jack and built Jack2 (1.9.6) from source with the following configure options:

I would like to switch to Slackware but I know that generally there are problems with the Realtek 8188ce driver with certain flavors of Linux...this is my question. Is it possible to someway build the drivers needed for the wireless during installation so that I will be able to use it? I do not have access to a wired connection or I would just try to get it working that way.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am running slackware 13.37. I installed the newest NVIDIA drivers 270.41.19 and now impossible to load Xorg.
I get:
fatal server error:
How I installed the new nvidia drivers:
- removepkg xf86-video-nouveau
- installed xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist-noarch-1.txz for blacklist the nv drivers
- run script nvidia
- run nvidia-xconfig
- reboot
The startx and black screen with errors messages mentioned above.
I run glxinfo | grep render and i get " Error: Unable to open display". Logical since no Xorg
I run dmesg | grep nvidia and I get all the required fields:
- NVIDIA taint kernels
- power state
- enabling device
- PCI INT A
- Setting latency
I have to manually copy the errors messages since my PC is not working.

I have run into the following problem, after I installed the proprietary AMD/ATI driver for my videocard I've been unable to wake up my laptop after suspend to RAM, it suspends ok (I guess?) but when I try to wake it up the screen doesn't turn on so I have to manually shut down the laptop.
before installing the proprietary driver, it worked ok
the videocard is a Radeon HD 3200, and the processor is an AMD Turion X2 Mobile
So I decided that I would swap over to Slackware on my HP dv2000 notebook as Linux mint wasn't encouraging me to use the command line too much and I decided to get thrown in the deep end with the scripting side of things.
Basically I can't work out how to install WCID off the Slackware DVD, I have gotten as far as extracting it (extracted to /home/ but I am unsure how to execute it, I have read the install docs and can't make much sense of it, could someone possibly help out and pass on the code to install.
I just received my laptop this week and have been tweaking my laptop to acquire more stability. I just installed the NVIDIA proprietary drivers for the NVS 3100M chipset and I have a residual windows that wont disappear even after reboot. Even after reinstalling the NVIDIA driver it stays. Is there some way to flush the framebuffer?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI try to install Slackware to my IDE hard drive and boot first from Slackware DVD. After I loaded huge.s kernel, and tried to partition the hard drive using fdisk by entering "fdisk /dev/hda", I found out that the partition size is max to 3 Gigs instead of 80 Gigs.
I think the kernel is looking at my boot disk, which is around 3 Gigs. How can I make so that it looks at my IDE drive instead at my boot drive? Is there any manual that shows me how to install Linux from scratch this means I want to wipe out all my hard disk and install Slackware Linux there?

I have been using ubuntu for quite a long time, and for the first time, I am now unable to set nvidia drivers to work. I have just install ubuntu 9.10 amd64 on an AMD 64 athlong X2 with a GEForce 6500 nvidia card.
The only reason I need the proprietary drivers is to use two monitors.
I am going crazy, I have tested everything I have found on the web. I have tried all the nvidia drivers version, I have tried envyng, ... but nvidia do not work!!
I am trying Xinerama with nv, but it does not work either!!!
Here is my xorg.conf file in which I have tried to use nv driver to set dual monitor. X fails to load and it says that screen 0 is deleted, that devices are found but there are no matches in the config file. Any clue?
