How can I get information similar to proc/net/wireless but for more than just the wireless router I'm connected to. I know there has to be a way because when I'm disconnected from all routers the network manager shows signal strength of all available routers.

How to get the following information using terminal in ubuntu I googled entire internet but could not find it:
1. What patches has been selected(installed) in my installed kernel(current kernel).
2. List of installed drivers.
I know that I can get information from my running kernel using the uname command.My question is, how can I retrieve the kernel information from the other distros without booting into them?For example, I have Debian installed on /dev/sdd1 with two kernels in /boot. How do I go about getting the information from these kernels similar to what uname gives?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am writing this using the 2.6.31-17 generic kernel after rebooting and selecting NOT to use the 2.6.31-18 kernel which was just installed. The newer kernel would not recognize/activate my Atheros AR2418 wireless adapter and, when I connected to the ethernet and did updates, there were no hardware drivers available. I haven't needed proprietary drivers since I upgraded to 9.04 and 9.10 works fine with older kernel.
View 1 Replies View RelatedA quick note for other frustrated Ubuntu users out there. I have a D-Link DWA-510 PCI wireless card (RT61) that just stopped working. After wasting hours searching posts and asking for help, I've determined that there's a problem in the latest Kernel to be rolled out.
I have now installed StartUp-Manager, and used it to boot into the old 2.6.31-22 kernel still on the machine and, hey presto, wireless is working again. It seems like the simplest fix by far.
I'v tried to uninstall and reinstall wubbi 4 times already. Before the OS even start up it says that it cannot find the wireless kernel and then it boots me up into that start up with the *configuration wizard* and that fails as well and asks me to reboot.How can i get my wireless transfered to Ubuntu without using a flash drive or CD? I thought that Ubuntu would automatically detect my wireless but i see no options as such.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to gather as much system information I can for my box so I can get a better understanding of what needs to be enabled in the kernel. Other than the lspci, lshw output, and knowledge of certain devices connected, does anyone have any other tips they could present me with? Unfortunately, I don't have access to the machine in interests manuals, and I know next to nothing about hardware.

I just want to enable my wireless network card... how do I do that? It worked perfectly in Jaunty and it also worked when Jaunty was upgraded to Karmic, but in a fresh install of Karmic it is displayed as DISABLED:
sudo lshw | grep network:
*-network:0 DISABLED
I know this is not a bug in any kernel or anything. I now have Karmic on two identical laptops (Fujitsu Siemens AMILO, rt2500pci chipset) with the same kernel (2.6.31-22-generic). Wireless is enabled on one, disabled on the other. This is wearing me out... I am on the verge of buying Windows 7...
I have this weird issue which only appears when I am using 64 bit Ubuntu. Every now and then my laptop seems to go into a kernel panic (system unresponsive, numlock and scrollock lights flash repetitively) only when I am using the broadcom wireless. I can connect to my wireless router and use the internet and local network, but eventually, kablamo, crash, bang, boom. The only way out of the crash is to power off completely. After repowering, the wireless network is fine until the next crash. There does not seem to be a pattern or time period to cause this crash either. I have purged network manager(which I couldn't get to use my wireless) and am using wicd, which allows me to connect wirelessly.
Here is the details of my system:
Dell inspiron 1520
lspci (snipped)
0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)

I just upgraded the kernel on my Ubuntu laptop from 2.6.32-24-generic to 2.6.32-25-generic (using the update manager under gnome). After the update, the wireless network controller shows up as UNCLAIMED when I do lshw -C network.When I try to install the driver with the commands sudo modprobe lib80211 sudo insmod wl.ko
i get this error message: insmod: error inserting 'wl.ko': -1 Invalid module format
I have compiled the driver using the 2.6.32-24 kernel. Do I have to re-compile with the new kernel?I'm a unix user, but not a kernel hacker, so I'm wondering if I will run into problems every time I get a kernel update? Or is this problem an exception?
I am having some issues getting the broadcom sta driver installed on Kernels 2.6.36 up through 2.6.38.
Before I continue, I'll list my specs
Release: Xubuntu 10.04.2 LTS (64-Bit)
Wireless Card: Broadcom BCM4328
Kernel: 2.6.38-x (Any version), and 2.6.36 and above
EDIT: Yes! Yes! I got it to work, for those that are having issues, install this packages. Disregard that it says that there is an older version available in a software. The bcmwl-kernel-source for Natty works on Lucid![URL]... Install one of these and check your Hardware Drivers, they will probably say that the Broadcom STA driver is installed but not in use. If you then proceed to restart it should be up and running, this way you can use kernels 2.6.36+ and still use the Broadcom STA driver!
I made a custom kernel for maverick, 2.6.35-27. And I want to get the latest Intel 5300 wireless card drivers working. The wireless works now, but I want to get these installed anyway. I've been on a custom compilation kick for a while, and just been wanting to do everything compiled myself, just to learn a lot. Including putting linux on my WNDR3700 router using DD-WRT. Still doing a lot of customization on that as well.
View 1 Replies View RelatedTo run my other linux distros on another drive I have been manually entering the kernel and initrid info for each distro on the opensuse yast boot loader. For windows 7 it just runs the mbr on the drive windows 7 is on. However I can not get it to do that on the other linux drive. The problem for me is that on every kernel upgrade I have to manually change the info. I would rather have grub on the sdd linux disk take care of it on the upgrades. The drive that holds the other linux versions is sdd. Opensuse is on sdc.

How do I get rid of the information that Ubuntu stores for connecting to wireless networks?
I'm asking because I have two wireless networks nearby: my personal network and my school's network. I tried one time to connect to the school's network using the standard prompts but none of them worked - however I could connect to my personal network just fine. The problem is that Ubuntu remembered the incorrect information I entered for my school's network and keeps trying to connect to it.
It's annoying because whenever I'm in range of both networks I keep having to manually tell it to stop connecting to my school's network and to connect to my personal one instead.
I upgraded from kernel-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.x86_64 to kernel-2.6.38.7-30.fc15.x86_64. After the upgrade I no longer have a wireless interface in Network Management. I have a broadcom BCM4312, booting the previous kernel solves this problem.

I've only used Linux for about a year or two now and have worked through suspend esume and WPA wireless issues with CentOS and my T61p. However, I'm stumped on this one. why my T61p freezes randomly (happened once while writing this topic) with the caps lock light blinking. I'm wondering if it has something to do with my nVidia driversettings andor using my wireless card and/or switching between home wwireless and work wwired connection.

I have a Dell Vostro 3500, which has a Broadcom wifi card. It requires non free drivers. So far it has been working well.

View 7 Replies View RelatedJust installed 11.3 on a older Dell Dimension 8200 with a D-Link DWA-160 N dual band USB card. The install went ok and the card works (seems a little slow right now but that is next on the list). However, when I run YOU I get the following conflict:

I just performed the newest kernel update to version 2.6.37.6-0.7 (desktop). Unfortunately, there is no update for the compat-wireless package available. It's still the version for kernel 2.6.37.6-0.5. Hence, my wireless is currently not working and I had to pull a cable through my apartment to write these lines. I actually thought due to the change of the very last digit in the kernel version that this should be a rather safe update. But I also had to recompile the modules of the NVidia driver and of Virtualbox. Does anyone has an idea when new compat-wireless modules will be available? Or do I have to re-compile them myself (I never had to do that before and I really hope that I don't have to)? Or is there a trick to make the old modules work?
