I may be missing a last crucial step while trying to use modprobe to install a module and make it active.The system is Debian (Mint LMDE flavor).The module is for a Realtek wlan driver. Since it appears to be available in the kernel, I chose to try and use it instead of getting into a work-around using ndiswrapper.Here is how I found it..
Code:
# modprobe -l | grep r81
kernel/drivers/net/r8169.ko
[code]...
I keep getting the error
"Initializing USB keyboard: Modprobe : Can't locate module keybdev [failed]
and "initializing USB Mouse: Modprobe : Cant locate module mouse dev [failed]
I am using Red Hat linux and trying to compile my own kernel...
Since my Asus WL-3300 seems to be having trouble, I bought a USB adapter -- a Linksys WUSB54G ver 4. Version 4 was apparently important because it came with a Ralink 2570 chip -- and that's supposed to work with Linux (which is why I chose it).I think it will work because, without loading any drivers, Net Manager can see the local routers (about seven of them). But when I choose mine, though it asks for a WEP key, it never connects. I'm not sure now what driver is loading that *almost* works with it. But I think I may still need to load the driver from: URl...But when you read the page it says that the driver has entered the "Mainline Kernel" -- and I'm wondering if that is why the adaptor almost works.So the questions:
1) Without a driver, should this Ralink 2570 be working at all?
2) How do I find what driver *is* loading?
3) Modprobe doesn't seem to be able to find any rt25x00 module, is this right -- or is there some other name I should be looking for?
iwlink scan, ifconfig, etc., all see the adapter as wlan0.lsusb shows the adapter.I'm going to keep searching, but wrote this in case there is something really simple that I'm overlooking.
How do I properly load/install
alias scsi_hostadapter2 ahci
into /etc/modprobe? (And /sys/module and /sys/bus/pci/drivers?)
I'm using openSUSE 11.3 and i access internet through usb-stick.
Before inserting my usb-stick, i generally remove the usb-storage module driver by this command:
modprobe -r usb-storage
But after this command, i get an output saying that usb-storage is built in and cannot be removed.
Can anybody help me how to remove that module. It works well under ubuntu and Mandriva.
When I try to load the Realtek 8187 modules to kernel using the ./wlan1up command, I get the following error:
[root@localhost rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007]# ./wlan1up
insmod: error inserting 'ieee80211_crypt-rtl.ko': -1 File exists
[code]...
Can someone tell me how to correct the "Invalid module format"? I hope that correcting the "Invalid module format" error, I will not have the "Unknown symbol in module" error.
Note: I am using wlan1 for this module as I previously am online with the wlan0 network.The same error occurs if I use ./wlan0up.
I recently isntalled opensuse 11.3 and I was trying to get the juniper ssl vpn working. It connects and everything goes fine until it prompts me for the root password. Once I do that, it errors out saying: "Modprobe for tun module failed" or something of that nature.

My gentoo laptop doesn't have a serial port, so I got a usb-serial (RS-232) adapter from ebay. However when I plug it in, the only thing dmesg mentiones is: Code:usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2I've tried to look for a kernel driver in "make menuconfig" by pressing "/" and typing 232. Nothing about RS-232. Device Drivers -> Character drivers -> Serial drivers has 8250 and UART as a module. Device Drivers -> USB support -> USB serial converter support has in-kernel: USB generic serial driver, and FTDI Single port driver as a module, but it still isn't getting recognized.Is there some module i forgot to enable, or do i have to download a separate module from somewhere?

I recently got a eSata docking station for hard drives and after deciding to make those volumes encrypted LVM's, I created my first logical volume. After setting it up in yast2 and rebooting I received a prompt for the lvm password, gave it and received:

Mar 17 13:38:22 blkdragon modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting padlock_sha (/lib/modules/2.6.31.14-0.6-desktop/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock-sha.ko): No such device
Boot resumed and I looked for the reason for this, the padlock-sha.ko module does exist in the appropiate place and the volume was mounted in spite of the error message. Lvmdump seems to indicate that the volume is, in fact, encrypted. My thoughts at the moment are that the volume was encrypted by aes, so the padlock-sha.ko was not necessary to mount the volume. Backtracking the message log the same error happened during the creation of the volume before rebooting. The kernel version gives it away but it's a 11.2 machine.
i'm trying to compile a driver module on ubuntu 10.10 . initially i was getting a lot of include file errors. but then when i added the include path. but after doing that i was getting a series of errors which i have no idea how to solve and it wont fit in one page. i've followed the same way how it is given in the tutorials online but still i'm not able to get it done. Is there any simple method to do this? is there something that i shouldn't do.

I have really problems with i915 driver (module) and my graphic card on squeeze with gnome.There is a BUG and there is no any solution at the moment:[URL]So I'd like to disable i915 driver from the startup and load i810 module instead:
Code:
# modprobe i810
# modprobe i910
#
BTW I've tried to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with i810 module for the video card, but it doesn't work, i915 will be loaded.
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier"i810"
Driver"i810"
EndSection
Is it any other way to blacklist i915 completely from the startup, for example in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a printer connected locally to my Debian box. It runs fine via cupsd.I am also running a Windows 2003 VMware guest which I would like to use the printer (use as a local printer, not a network printer).
VMware offers a connection via USB, so it should work. The printer I have plugged locally into the Debian host is recognised by the Windows 2003 guest, but it won't print. I get an error message saying that the printer is still connected to the host OS, and that I need to remove (or presumably disable) the host driver before the guest can use the printer.
So how can I find out which printer driver/module is being used by the Debian host to connect to this printer? And what is the best way to temporarily disable it, while my VMware guest is running?
