I've gone through tutorial after tutorial and finally I've given up and I'm resorting to asking the forums. I've got Slackware 13.1 64-bit and I've got a Netgear WG311v3 and I obviously want them to work together! I installed ndiswrapper and I've tried several different drivers from several different tutorials, but I can't get them to work. At first I couldn't get modprobe ndiswrapper to work, but that was because ndiswrapper.ko was in the wrong folder. I moved it manually and executed depmod -a and modprobe ndiswrapper started working.I've gathered all the information I anticipated and I'm going to post it at the end of this. Anything I don't supply that is relevant ask for and I'll try and get it. I'm desperate to get this driver working correctly so I can get back to my life on Slackware. Here's the information:
This installed my Netgear WG311v3 Wi-Fi card on this machine using Fedora 14 x86_64 it took me a while to do so in the future I can (hopefully) follow this guide myself in the future and for anyone who is having problems. First thing you need to do is make sure your system and kernel is up-to-date:
Code: su yum update next you need to make sure that the kernel headers are installed so you can compile ndiswrapper (which is no longer available on FreshRPMs) and GCC as well as svn to get the latest build of ndiswrapper:
Code: su yum install kernel-headers gcc svn Now we need to get the latest build of ndiswrapper to make and install it; make sure you do this outside of root:
I'm having trouble installing my wireless card drivers. I've read a lot on this using Ndiswrapper to install my drivers but when I go to install I get this.
linux-8h6g:/wg311 # ndiswrapper -i wg311v3.inf couldn't open wg311v3.inf: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 219.
I'm giving the right path to the inf file tried moving to other folders and still nothing.
I have a problem with Netgear Wireless WG311v3 card and it is not listed in "ifconfig -a". Network Manager does not see the Netgear card either, just eth0 the onboard wired NIC. Here is the result of lspci.
I have been searching through these forums the past couple of day as I have just installed Ubuntu 9.10 64bit on my custom whitebox. I have had windows 7 on it in the past, but want something different now.
I guess my main question is if anyone knows a simple to install wireless card (pci or usb) for ubuntu 9.10 64. I currently have the Netgear WG311V3 PCI card installed, but I can not for the life of me get it to work under Ubuntu. I have tried numerous different methods from search google, these posts, etc. but I can not get any of them to work.
I already have a wifi card- the netgear wg311v3. that had almost NO linux compatibility, so I won't make the mistake of buying any old wifi card again. What I want to know is, what's a good wifi card for Linux. Here are some requirements I have for it:
Preferably 802.11n support, but I could settle for "G" Out of the box support. As in, I don't have to use Ndiswrapper. Just pop it in, and let ubuntu do the rest I would prefer a USB based dongle, but PCI would be good too. I don't have any brand preferece.
i've patched the source files to be installed on f14 and finally got a succesfull install, ndiswrapper -l comes back with driver installed and presentwhen i run modprobe ndiswrapper i get "FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found" after many hours of google searching and reading various threads i cannont seem to find a solution to this apart from manualy coping the ndiswrapper.ko file but when i use that solution modprobe starts ndiswrapper but there is no wlan0 present in iwconfig.now for some reason even wheni move the ndiswrapper.ko file manually it still is giving me that error. this worked earlier as i mentioned but then i reinstalled ndiswrapper hoping something went wrong but still got the same error so i tried that same fix and i'm still getting that error. i can't figure out what i migt've done differently earlier but i'm not having any luck.
This post was originally placed in the src2pkg thread, just below. But to avoid it being overlooked I am placing it in a new thread here.
I am using src2pkg v.2.0 with Slack 13.0 running kernel 2.6.29.6
In the past I used trackinstall to run 'make install' after configuration and compilation (using a makefile). Here's an example of what happens when I use the current trackinstall that comes bundled with src2pkg code...
There is a known bug with MySQL 5.1.42 that prohibits the QMYSQL driver from functioning properly. I finally found it on the MythTV bug tracker, which links it to the MySQL site. There is a patch available, but the bug was fixed in 5.1.43. To fix it on my system, I grabbed the all of -current/source/ap/mysql except for the actual source, and downloaded the latest version (5.1.44) from [URL].
I was experimenting in virtual machines this evening with software RAID.I found Slackware's method straightforward and intelligible. The README is excellent. I found software RAID setup in Scientific Linux (RH Enterprise clone) and Debian convoluted and confusing.My only question regarding software RAID in Slackware is how the system notifies you about the failure of one component. I pulled one of the virtual disks offline to deliberately fail the array but I wasn't notified when rebooting. I didn't look too deeply into log files to be honest. Can it be set to automatically notify the admin about a failure?
New install of 13.1. Installed Pidgin 2.7.1, compiled for SSL per instructions here: [url] but still no love. Any attempt to connect to MSN returns "Unable to authenticate: Authentication Failure."
I just setup sendmail on my server to send emails and it works, now I would like to be able to get an email from mdadm if sometjhing was going wrong. I imagine most raid users have this feature setup.
Right now, I have 7 raid arrays and mdadm starts at boot time. Until now, I used Mr. Goblin's script (http://connie.slackware.com/~mrgoblin/files/rc.mdadm) (thanks Mr Goblin!) to monitor my arrays.
The script is started at boot time from rc.local. I created a small script in /usr/bin that send the following command to rc.mdadm giving me the status of the arrays:
Code: /etc/rc.d/rc.mdadm status
and it works fine, but this requires me probing the arrays manually by calling the script from the command line. I would like to automate probing every 10 minutes or whatever and if a fault has been detected, I get an email.
I have a brand new installation of 13.37 but I can't seem to get the nvidia-kernel (64 bit only) Slackbuild from slackbuilds.org to build. I have the nvidia driver installed and working on 13.1 so I am not desperate yet: although I thought that it could just be something with the older Nvidia driver so I waited for the updated release but it fails in the same way.I have uninstalled xf86-video-nouveau and installed xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist-noarch-1.txz from /extra.I have also installed libvdpau from SBo. The nvidia-driver Slackbuild builds fine.I am using the stock 2.6.37.6 huge kernel but have also tried the 2.6.38.4 kernel from /extra and the 2.6.38.7 kernel from Slackware-current.Here is the error message I am seeing:
I am new to slackware and linux at all. Today I have installed slackware 13.1 on my PC. Everything seems fine. Furthermore, I successfully installed mysql and edited the http.conf file throughout vim(this was also new to me). I discommented the line where it says "Include /etc/httpd/mod_php.conf" and moreover changed "DirectoryIndex index.html" to "DirectoryIndex index.php".
I assumed that the library "libltdl.so.7" is missing. When I tried to google it, I cannot find a proper version for slackware.I sincerely apologize if I have posted the thread in the wrong section.
I am having a problem trying to compile rrdtool on slackware64-13. The problem is that the configure script keeps failing when it gets to the third party checks:
Quote: configure:30114: WARNING: * I found a copy of pkgconfig, but there is no pangocairo.pc file around. You may want to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable to point to its
I'm having a problem building some applications (e.g. Qsynth and FreeCAD) with sbopkg relating to an unfound library named "jscore". I've been keeping my system up to date with slackware64-current.Google searches have turned up very little about this library. There is a sourceforge page that has no files and seems to be related to a google hosted script jsCore.js... but I don't think that's what's missing here. I've come across some vague references to this jscore library being part of webkit. Can anyone verify this? I updated my webkit library itself and found no apparent results. Perhaps jscore was removed in an update to Qt (both of the example applications mentioned above link to Qt) as it seems to have it's own webkit library, libQtWebKit.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0846:9040 NetGear, Inc.So I think it's correctly recognizing it, but for some reason it won't identify it as a wireless USB NIC. I'm trying to install without a wired connection (several rooms away from a wire, and this is an old tower), so any help there would be nice, if not, then any advice on what to do when I get it hardwired would be nice. I have the Live CD to try this with. I also have a second CD/DVD, and have it installed/working on XP on the box (which after I get wireless working I'll be replacing),so I have the .inf file if anyone can direct me to using ndiswrapper for it. Let me know what else you need to know.
I was just wondering because it has not yet become a problem. How would I access my Netgear MR314 router when I don't use Internet Explorer anymore? I used to access the software and make changes in port forwarding and even turn on/off wireless.
WG111v2 USB that works just fine on my Ubuntu 12.04 Dell can't connect on my Debian Gigabyte. It finds the network name just fine, remembers its password, and tries to connect 3 times before giving up. This tower is 4 days old, as is the OS.
I used the following guides to try and get my Netgear WG511 PCMCIA card going:
[URL]
I also made a post about it here: [URL]. As the problem doesn't appear to be ndiswrapper itself I've made this separate post.
Unfortunately, I still end up having wlan0 attempting to connect, prompting for my password, trying to connect then prompting for my password (ad infinitum).
I changed my network security from WPA to WEP and now my card works fine. why this might be happening (i.e. why WEP works but WPA doesn't?)
I understand how to log in as root and change file properties and that's pretty much it
I'm trying to get the Netgear 3100 v2 Wireless-N Dual Band usb card to show up so I can connect wirelessly to my router but my computer isn't showing it in the devices menu (I've tried to ndiswrapper the drivers from my win7 partition but that didn't work)
if I do lsusb I get Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0846:9011 NetGear, Inc. WNDA3100(v2) 802.11n but I can't find it in the network configuration
Ok, i know. there should have been a backup. I came that far... but not beyond. I have bought a STORA MS2000 and 2 x 2TB WD EARS Harddisk. Except a couple of troubles that i had to go through with it - it finally worked. It did for 3 months. I have moved the NAS from one room to another and when i reattached it ... i all of a sudden didnt work anymore.
Tick, tick ... tick ... just like it would have a head-crash. I attached the disks to my iMac just to know what they sound there. Of course the iMac couldnt reat the disks. The disk-utility just let me know that the file-system is XFS (so far i knew) .. and then they are striped. So i knew i wouldnt be able to retrieve my data there ..
My question now. Since i dont think that my harddisks have a serious damage - how in on Gods Earth could i save my data from an XFS striped volume that was taken out of a STORA MS 2000?
I hope i wont loose all my data now ... but dont know if i would have any success to setup a Linux-PC and then have to look for the right software or even buy a card or so ...
I have problems connection my wg111v2 to my AP. I am running opensuse 11.2 with kernel 2.6.31.12-0.2 The AP itselfe is working fine - as I am using it to access the inet with it from my laptop. However I also tried different channels and encryption schemes with no result. But with my Desktop it is really strange. When I boot up it seems as if I have a connection for a short time (I can start loading a webside but it will stop in the process before it is finished). I have searched for similar problems and found this post: Netgear WG111v2 RTL8187 - openSUSE Forums but some things are different: but I thing the comand line output will tell you more than my talking...
