I have downloaded some new network card drivers, and done the process of:make clean modulesmake installdepmod -aThis appears to have worked (after some faffing around with the c code as it did not compile initially), as I can do modinfo eg1032v3 and get data back.However, eth0 continues to use the old r8169.ko driver from the kernel.

I recently reinstalled Wheezy on my laptop and after the install was finished I installed the brcmsmac driver, using the instructions on this wiki page: [URL]. I have the device BCM43224. I noticed though that this driver seems worse compared to the proprietary broadcom-sta I had on my previous installation and so I would like to switch. I know that there is a guide on how to install the proprietary drivers on the wiki ( [URL]), but it feels like i should remove the free driver before I install the proprietary one, and I dont know how to do this .
So my question is: what is the proper way of changing from the open brcmsmac driver to the proprietary broadcom-sta driver?
I have reinstalled Fedora 11 i386 four times now. After I install the Nvidia drivers from rpmfusion I start having intermittent problems with no sound at bootup. Null output. I've posted here about this problem but received no responses so this must not be a common problem.
Would it be possible to change the order that the drivers load so the nvidia driver loads after the sound drivers?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to make a minor change to one of the drivers in my 2.6.38 (-sid) kernel. However, I am wondering how best to go about it. Many of the guides on the internet presume one will be using a vanilla source tree and plan on manual configuration.
I am looking for the easiest means of accomplishing a simple recompilation of what I currently have -- with the same configuration and everything else. On Gentoo I usually just do a zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
However am unsure if this is the, correct, Debian way of doing things.
I have installed VMWare server 2 on a windows XP host. Then I installed Suse 11.2 on the VMWare server. For the most part everything seems to be working Ok. However, the key board will type two letters with every keystroke. I have used the the accessibility options to force a hack fix (slow keys). Also, the host pointer looses synchronization with the guest. Simple fix, running it off the screen forces VM to synchronize.
I have managed to find work around solutions, but overall it is annoying and effects my productivity (IE Ctrl+C takes about 2 seconds to register!!!). I would like to find better solutions. So I am looking for advice on how I could address these issues, I need advice on two methods:
1) Assuming the problems are within Linux, I will need to tweak/change the drivers for my mouse and keyboard, how would I do that?
2) Assuming the problem is with VMWare Tools, I will need to tweak/update the tools. Now, I have noticed that Suse has their own custom setup for the tools. Thus the documentation for tweaking the tools doesn't apply (ie cannot find vmware-tools-config.pl). So how would I go about playing with that side of things?
3) Ruled out the problem being with VMWare itself. Whenever I run the system in command line mode, or in the graphical installer, the keyboard works fine. It is only within KDE that the problems arise. Thus it is either X-Windows/KDE or the VMWare tools layer that is causing the problem. So my next question, is there a way of turning components off and on to narrow in on what component is causing the problem?
I have just installed the new Ubuntu and have most things working on my Hp 6735s, i have beed playing around and find that i cannot change the Visual effects, it looks for the drivers and doesnt find them, could you please advise what i need to do to get this working. The graphics card i believe is a ATI Radoen 3200. Any help would be great, also dumb it down for me as i have been so used to windows im not that up on terminology of everything.

One thing I have noticed that initially I had been using various Adobe Fonts in many applications prior to change of drivers. But after this change the looks of the same fonts became quite different, the length & breadth of "individual letters" changed quite a lot making them look not so beautiful as they were earlier. Am I missing something or is it a normal phenomenon. But I am satisfied with the present looks.

I've been running Fedora on my Laptop (Dell Precision) for 1.5 years. I have a Windows based network. What I'd like to do now is to change that network to a Linux (Fedora) based network. Its got 4 workstations and a switch ... I don't want internet access to this network, ... just to be able to share files between the PCs. In windows it was a matter of specifying different IPs and same workgroup assignments to each node. How does it work in Fedora ?I'd also like to see Peer-to-Peer work between my Laptop and my friend's Acer laptop running (Fedora too).

I am going to build a live-system out of it afterwards, and boot it from a USB. Don`t know if that has anything to say, but my experience has been that especially the /etc/network/interfaces keeps getting overwritten at boot-time as soon as I make it a live-system.
That`s why i was thinking of removing every network-driver upfront, such that Ubuntu has an empty database for network-cards.

I have Fedora11 running in my machine and it has no LAN port (RJ-45). I have a wireless PCMCIA card.The model of the wireless card is NL-2511CD EXT2(ETSI).When I insert that card to the PCMCIA slot a window pops up and ask for a WEP key. My wireless router is configured with WPA but above pop-up has no WPA option. I suspect my fedora installation does not have the necessary driver for my wireless card.I want to install that driver. I can transfer that file to the machine via thumb drive since it has no network connection yet. How do I install this? Please refer below images as I'm still a newbie at linux.
