Ubuntu :: Broadcom 57780 Supported In Kernel 2.6.35
Aug 15, 2010
Just upgraded my kernel to 2.6.35 and now my broadcom 57780 WLAN card is not recognized. Trying to reload the proprietary driver fails. Anybody else with this specific card got it working on 2.6.35?
I have been trawling the web looking to see how to get my broadcom nic working on my Dell optiplex 380 with fedora 12. Basically it shows up when I run lspci but no where else, unfortunately I have no linux experience. Other things that I have tried were to check the blacklist driver file, which had no reference to the nic.
Here is what I have as far as hardware goes: Compaq Presario V2000 - PROCESSOR: Intel Pentium M 710 -- 1.4 GHz - RAM 2 GB - HD 80 GIG - Duel booting XP Pro with Ultimate Edition 2.8 (I understand this is built from Ubuntu 10.10) - lspci -vnn | grep 14e4 yields the following:
Code: 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
I have followed to the tee this guidance: [URL] I tried the installing b43 drivers with internet (using ethernet) I tried installing off the DVD using the no internet option I even tried installing the STA drivers even though I know the 4318 chipset is not mentioned as a supported chipset.
All of these were loaded/extracted with no errors via terminal following the guidance to the letter. Now here is a problem I have not read that anyone else has run into. (maybe I just missed it). When I go: System > Administration > Additional Drivers the only additional driver that shows up is "Software Modem". I can't for the life of me figure out why the b43 and STA drivers are not showing up to activate. I can install drivers all day long, if I can't activate them, it really does become a moot point.
I want to move to Slack, so I took a look around the web to see if it can give support to my wireless card but couldn't find any relevant info.Is it supported? Can be installed?
and also I need to find answers for following two questions.How to find mountable devices and their device files in Linux?How can I allow a regular user to mount a device in Linux?
The microdia driver although notprovided by the manufacturer or ubuntu was available online and supported upto 9.10...but not instead of supporting it natively the support has been completely removed...i am able to compile the driver but it doesnt get inserteda complaint was also made on the launchpad bugs section and the ubuntu brainstorm page also but no action seems to have taken.....
I am trying to install set up of wanpipe for E1/T1 card. First of all downloaded the source code from [URL] and did all step needed for rpmbuild and copy the source code into /usr/src/kernels. Below is kernel information uname -r 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5
rpm -q kernel-devel kernel-devel-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 #1 SMP Thu May 13 13:09:10 EDT 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Now point is when I run the ./Setup install for wanpipe its ask for path of kernel source which is present in /usr/src/kernels. its show : Kernel source 2.6.18-prep in /usr/src/kernels/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.i686 is not supported! and set up is halted.So can somebody guide me why kernel source is not supported.
I am looking to buy my own unlocked/never-locked mobile broadband modem, and I want it to work well on my 64-bit 10.04 Ubuntu system (triple-booting MacBook 4,1). Is there a list of mobile broadband modems supported in the linux kernel out there somewhere? I did try to find one myself, but no luck. The Huawei E220 looks good, but it is discontinued.
I read somewhere that if you run nVIDIA, that a PAE kernel won't work with it. Not supported, IIRC... Any truth to this? - My linux is (so it seems anyway) OK & I'd rather not mess it up. But I WOULD like to "use" all 4G of memory I have.
An error occured when I install my r8101 dirver. I have got the message:
/home/driver/r8101/src/r8101_n.c:1: error: code model 'kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode /home/driver/r8101/src/r8101_n.c:1: sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode not compiled in make[3]: *** [/home/driver/r8101/src/r8101_n.o] Error 1
how can I check, if they are supported in kernel 2.6.30? I looked at alsa page, and no information I have seen there. oldcpu, as I understund you, is not so important what audio chip is, but it is important to determine what hardware audio codec a device has, right? Let?s see Realtek ALC889 In realtek page: Realtek I can see details.
Looking at getting a new laptop for some of the guys in my office, but trying to figure out if any of these wireless cards will be supported by the kernel, hoping not to do any serious kernel hacking to get them working. The cards are
there was a new kernel update that I installed today. I used some kl mod packages to work my broadcom. For some reason its not working after the kernel. Is there a way I can recompile the driver or so?
My kernal version is 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686 (2.6.35). I have installed fedora 14. I dont have a wired network connection , so as mentioned in one the threads [URL]... i downloaded the RPM fusion of the driver and followed the steps. This is the first time m installing linux ,i have no idea if my kernel is kmod version. But when tried installing any of those codes provided it gave an err saying NOTHING TO DO. But my network manager doesn't show the wlan. It still says driver firmware missing. When checked the loaded kernel it did have ssb and b4. I did blacklist them. But reappears everytime i check and wl is not loaded.CAN anyone please help me know wat I should do?
I upgraded my Linux kernel from 2.6.35-23-generic to 2.6.35-24-generic and the Broadcom wireless STA driver stopped working. If I try to reinstall it with Jockey it fails and shows this in the log:
You know, I thought I had my Broadcom issues all figured out, I have a simple list of installing the RPM Fusion repos do a yum update and yum install kmod-wl and everything works.However, this time it didn't work. I am installing a new fedora 14 for a friend who is totally fed up with windows and I get this error: (Yes I have searched the internet and Fedora forums for an answer)
[code]...
I have tried the two yum suggestions and they don't work I have tried updating the kernel and have installed kernel-devel-'uname -r' (suggested by another site) I have tried installing broadcom-wl and b43-openfwwf which only knocked out the card entirely
Does somebody know what about native support by kernel for Broadcom's wi-fi chipset - bcm 43225? In kernel sources 2.6.38.3 in section "staging drivers" I saw something like "Broadcom 80211n". I selected this module for compiling, but in process I got error something like wrong type of variable or something else when module was compiling.
I have a problem here with my updated kernel. I'm currently using Fedora 14 kernel 2.6.35.9-64, and my wireless card Broadcom BCM4312, which had an issue before with Linux distros, is working fine already, thanks to the kmod-wl software driver. My problem now is this, after updating to kernel 2.6.35.10-72, fedora does not boot, and I noticed that the wireless card is the only thing not activating, compared to the working kernel. And when i looked at the log of the bootup (pressed right arrow key), I saw this:
i just updated my Fedora 14 from Kernel version 2.6.35.11-83 to 2.6.35.11-88 Now the driver for the broadcom wireless ethernet adapter is not detected anymore I installed the driver using
[code]...
The package is still installed but when i but when i use modprobe again the output is "module wl not found" Anybody some ideas? By the way, here is the hardware specification
I have kernel 2.6.26 and I think I need 2.6.27, but update manager says my system is up-to-date. How do I get an upgraded kernel? I have a wireless card but I cannot find anything in the UI to enable it, or connect to my home net. Would Debian come with a connection manager with an oddball name?
I have just upgraded to 11.3 and work in icewm (I have kde apps installed but no other desktops). When I boot up the computer it gives me this console error message:
Code: kernel: [time] sisfb: Mode 'none' not supported anymore. Using default. kernel: [time] sisfb: Fatal error: Unable to reserve 16MB framebuffer memory kernel: [time] sisfb: Is there another framebuffer driver active? Apart from that I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. The computer isn't displaying immediate symptoms to me. I checked the hardware sticky and when I have a few hours I can work through
HTML Code: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_graphics_cards but I don't have that kind of time at the moment, so I wanted to check that that was the route I should be going down before I did. I googled this stuff but everything seems to start from a knowledge base above mine and leaves me clueless.
Do you have to reinstall Nvidea and Broadcom drivers every time the kernel is updated? The new kernel would not even load to where I could get to my desktop. Help?? I could not even sign in with older kernels. Had to use a Puppy CD to edit my Grub menu.lst so I could sign in on the older kernel.
In 10.04 I was using the following commands to mount an encrypted disk image:
Code: sudo losetup -f Which tells what loop back device block is available Then I'd type:
Code: sudo losetup -e aes /dev/loop0 /home/user/crypt.img and then enter the device's password
Code: sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/loop0 /media/crypt I've tried this in 10.10 and it hasn't been working (I can't remember if I did anything in 10.04 to make it work). I've installed the loop-aes-utils package and restarted my machine. Every time I try the 2nd step, after entering the password I get: Code: ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument, requested cipher or key length (128 bits) not supported by kernel
