Slackware :: 13.0 - BCM4318 Driver For 64 Bit Version
Jan 23, 2010
I have just installed Slackware 13.0 64 bit on my laptop. I am trying to get my wireless card (Broadcom BCM4318) to work. It is dual boot with Windows XP 32 bit. I tried the ndiswrapper and everything seemed to go okay but when I ran ndiswrapper -l it said it was the wrong driver. Then I realized I was using the 32 bit driver from my windows install. Is there a 64 bit driver available. I can't seem to find one. I have searched the broadcom site but I guess this is too old for them to support. I previously used Zenwalk 32 bit on the laptop and ndiswrapper worked great. Should I be able to find a 64 bit driver or can I get the 32 bit to work? Do I need to go back to a 32 bit OS? I found the proper driver using google, downloaded, installed with ndiswrapper, rebooted and everything works. It connected automatically.

Even though having already spent many hours trying to connect to the internet from Ubuntu, I still haven't done it succesfully. What I've done so far:
Code:
nuno@Houdini:~$ ndiswrapper -l
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release.
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.
bcmwl5 : driver installed
device (14E4:4318) present (alternate driver: ssb)
On the bar at the top, under 'Wireless Networks' it reads: "disconnected".

I've been searching for an hour or so and can't seem to find a concrete answer. My endgame is having Ubuntu successfully installed (either 9.10 or 10.04) with a fully working Ati 4870x2. I desperately need some help on finding the proper configuration of OS version and driver version. I installed 10.04 with the 10.3 driver package from ATI's site and it was a no go - I had nothing but problems.
I would like to have full 3d acceleration so I can play some games through Wine. This is a powerful card - I know ATI doesn't have a great reputation in the Linux world but I really hope there is a driver version I can install to get some good results.The rest of my specs are in my signature I need to install 64 bit Ubuntu to make use all of the system and video ram.

I'm trying to bring my Slackware system back to life as my XP HDD is dying... I've got everything working except for my audio. I got a new motherboard (ASRock P43DE3) and it has a VIA VT1708S as the onboard audio. Is there any way I can get this working without rebuilding the kernel?

I started a thread asking for advice in the hardware forum. I didn't want to post a duplicate thread, but I was unable to get it moved here, so I'm kindly asking you slackers to help me install the aforementioned driver.

I've tried a few different ways to install the ATI graphics driver "fglrx" to get 3D acceleration.If I try to install using the standard file "ati-driver-installer-10-4-x86.x86_64.run" from the ATI web site it appears to work but then I discover it actually got an error.I saw a reference to ATI requiring 32-bit libraries to install their 64-bit driver. Is there a link or post that explains how to add the 32-bit libraries. Will that solve the problem, or will I just waste more time trying that?

I can see my USB devices by
Code:
lspci
Quote:
00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02)
00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02)
00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02)
00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02)
00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 02)
However, the speed I copied from one USB device to anther (both are USB 2.0 ) is around 4.4M/second, which seems to be very slow. I'm wondering if the USB driver is not powerful enough. By the way, I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 .

I am in the midst of porting a driver that works on kernel version 2.6.21 to version 2.6.27. I am not aware of all the changes that need to be done to achieve my objective.

Does anyone know if I need to build the proprietary ATI drivers specifically for 32-bit, or do the 64-bit packages take care of 32-bit compatibility? If so, how would I do that?
I tried:
Code:
But the package has the same files as its 64-bit counterpart. The reason I'm asking is I'm trying to get Neverwinter Nights working and a post I found mentioned this problem.
I get a single line error: "Failed to initialize graphics."

I have been trying to get this card working for a couple of hours without much luck. I was excited to find the thread, but it doesn't seem to work for me for some reason. [URL]. I tried the manual setup method listed, but nothing shows up in Network Manager under wireless cards? Is there something I have to do to get it to show up? I think everything copied to /lib/firmware/b43 for me ok?
Running /sbin/lspci -nn reveals the following:

Also how do I check the latest version available? I gather to update a driver I need to update the kernel so ill not be doing that but im trying to get more familiar with linux here. I know how to do this in windows so it would be good to be able to check driver versions in linux too. Im on debian 8.1 with intel HD4400 graphics.

I have the HD4850 and, I wanted to know if it is possible to use the CLI to see which version of OpenGL is the latest version I can use according to my driver. If it's not possible via the CLI then, what's the next best way? (I can't find a website for the radeon driver listing the latest OpenGL support per supported card).

Xubuntu 9.04 installs the drivers for my wireless pci card on my desktop perfectly. Whenever I update to a newer version, the wireless disappears. I would like to use 10.10 but obviously internet is very important.
Can I tell it to keep the same driver? I actually don't really know what the specific driver it is.

I am new to Linux, but I can't produce any sound out of my speakers. So I downloaded the driver for my sound card from my motherboard manufacturer (it is an on board sound card). Now, if I am right I need to run ./configure . I did this and the following thing happend: Code: checking for gcc gcc
checking for C compiler default output... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for executable suffix...
checking for object suffix... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes

I've installed new drivers and when I go to connect the MAC address shows up on the router but only for a few seconds and then disappears and I can't access wifi. I've even attempted opening up the router and still can't connect.

I'm trying to help a friend with his Acer Aspire 5003 WLMi computer, and if you guys can't help me get this to work, I have to resort to reinstalling Windows XP on his computer.
I've tried with f34cutter and the Windows driver with ndiswrapper, and both ways should work (many others seems to have got it working), but I haven't.
I can't keep up with this much longer (he wants to have his laptop back someday), and I will post the relevant info as soon as you need it.

I attempted to run amarok from the menu and found it would never start there was no activity, I then tried to start it from the command line and I recieved this error..
Version mismatch detected between the NVIDIA libGL.so
and libGLcore.so shared libraries (libGL.so version:
195.36.31; libGLcore.so version: 195.36.24).
Please try reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.
This is a fresh install of Fedora 13, the kmod-nvidia drivers were just fixed I assume cause I tried to install them for a few days and they would fail. Well I guess they finally fixed the Nvidia drivers for 2.6.33.5-124.fc13.x86_64 but it has broken amarok..

Many people are having trouble with the latest nvidia drivers. I think there might be a pattern and that might lead to a solution; even if that solution is "give up with that card you're using." So, here's the first:
7600GS PCI with 32 bit opensuse 11.3 and KDE 4.6

I'm trying to setup bonding on two GigE cards. Things seem find but when I test out a couple different file transfers on samba, I'm getting a kernel panic. In the process I'm trying to update the e1000e driver (Intel 82574L). The problem I'm having with this is after I reboot, the old e1000e driver is getting loaded.
Here's some background. Installed is 10.04, upgraded and dist-upgraded:
Code:
Code:
Below I note "1.0.2-k2" for driverversion.
Code:
So I downloaded and updated e1000e to version 1.1.19 by following their directions, first backing up the old driver:
Code:
And then I uninstall the old one, install the new one per README file
Code:
After restarting networking, my lshw is now (note that driverversion=1.1.19-NAPI now):
Code:
So here comes the problem and I must be missing something here - after I reboot, the old 1.0.2-k2 driverversion is loaded.
Code:
