Ubuntu Networking :: Have Source Code Of WLAN PCMCIA Driver?
Mar 25, 2010
I intend to attach WLAN PCMCIA card to my embedded system to connect to a wireless network. However, my embedded system uses a strangs OS that not supports the card driver. I think that I can investigate on how Ubuntu control the card to find out the way to control it in my system. The WLAN PCMCIA card that I can buy is:TP-Link TL-WN510G,Linksys WPC54GSCan any one tell me, how can I have the source code of WLAN PCMCIA driver and how can I find out the way Ubuntu control this card?
For one of my class projects, we have to analyze a usb keyboard driver source code and be able to understand it and present it to the class. Me and a few other people are working together by breaking up the code into sections so each person can analyze a section of code.Now I've ran into a section of this code that I am a little confused about. It seems fairly simple but I just wanted to double check since I wasn't able to find a solid answer.
I have a dell PC running on Fedora 12, and I would like to install this SCSI controller card from adaptec:[URL]I see that the driver for Linux is available only as source code. Can somebody please indicate me how to proceed? I am not advanced enough in Linux to know what to do with it myself...I downloaded the most recent (v2.0.26) Source Code for Linux Kernel v2.6 on all platforms.Here are the contents of the tarball (if it helps in any way):
still stalling after all those months, everything is explained here

the card works fine in xubuntu jaunty, doesn't in xubuntu karmic or ubuntu karmic. i (my wife) wants to use ubutun karmic, but we still can't get this ATMEL PCMCIA wirelesscard to work on ubuntu karmic like it does on jaunty... and we have the windows INF drivers
I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed and can browse the internet via cable, but wireless isnt working. My wireless driver is "Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN".
In the windows device manager, I found the corresponding inf file to be oem20.inf which I tried to install it through "Setup Windows Driver" but it gave an error saying invalid driver. I also tried installing the Broadcom STA driver, but that didnot help.
I am dual booting with Windows 7, and i installed ubuntu through the windows wubi installer. My laptop is HP Pavilion dv4. I have installed the regular Ubuntu desktop and have made all upgrades. The results from lspci command i have added below.
gowda@ubuntu:~$ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Memory Controller Hub (rev 07) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
I have tried using ad-hoc networking in linux machines. My question is that is the routing in ad-hoc network is implemented at kernel level. I just want get my hands on the code that make wireless ad-hoc networking possible.
i use fedora11 and try to use wireless i find driver for chip Realtek RTL8187 but want to know command to install it. i save folder of driver on desktop in folder name rtl8187_linux_26.1010.0622.2006has like this
A: Can you tell me which code belongs to CB21AG code? In the directory debian/debian/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ I can see two modules written
1. pci.c and 2. ahb.c
Not sure which one to look for!!
B: If I want to build ath5k.ko module by making some changes then how to build it? If I go to directory debian/debian/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ and give make then it doesnt goes through sudipto@sudipto-ThinkPad-T61p:~/kernel_workspace/Development/source/debian/debian/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k$ make make: *** No targets. Stop. sudipto@sudipto-ThinkPad-T61p:~/kernel_workspace/Development/source/debian/debian/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k
I patched my wireless driver in order to support packet injection. Using this tutorial:
- Install the Firmware:
Code:
- Create new directory:
Code:
- Now disconnect Internet and unload all your driver (use rmmod command)
- Move/copy the Compat-Wireless patched in /usr/src/drivers directory and unpack the drivers:
Code:
Blacklist the wl driver: (STA driver)
Code:
Currently I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, Kernel 2.5.35-29-generic. I have a Broadcom 4318 for my WLAN and a Broadcom 4401-B0 for my ethernet. I followed the tutorial and I managed to get packet injection working on my WLAN; however, my ethernet connection isn't working. I tried sudo modeprobe b44, but I get the following message:
Has somebody used DAFS (Direct Access File System)?I've found a lot of literature about this file system,where the comprassion tests promise a ~20-50% faster packet transmission,than in the strandard NFS.But I can't install DAFS,because the source code is for old kernels 2.4.Does anyone know,why did the research of this file system stopped in 2003 year,and there are no newer versions?
i am already a little bit familiar with linux and now i want to know better the linux OS. i have downloaded the source code of the krnel from the kernel.org and i dont understand the linux source trees organization, so can somebody do me a favor and give me a link to some internet page (or at least a book) that explains that?? i have searched in the internet with the tag:::linux source trees organization and i have not found nothing interesting
I am a little optimistic now after my problem of wifi was solved by stoat that presisted for about a year, now i am trying to install my vpn client. he asks me to write the path of kernel source code directory : and i answer by:/lib/modules/2.6.26.8-57.fc8/build/
But he answers no such directory or file and i dont know why
The build is covered by a red box when displayed by a terminal so can any body tells me where i can find my kernel source directory or i should install them, how
I read that xinetd listens on the service port and passes incoming traffic to the service (ftpd) via stdin. However, the ftpd source code reads its input from a socket not from stdin.
Am I to conclude that in order to be managed by xinetd, the source code for ftpd (or telnetd etc..) must be modified or recompiled to take its input from stdin??
i have a pcmcia nic card microsoft broadband networking 10/100 ethernet notebook adapter, model MN-120. the debian 5.04 doesn't seem to recognize the nic. is it possible to find linux driver for it?
Does anyone have a driver for Cisco Aironet PCMCIA AIR-CB21AG-A-K9 wireless adapter that works with Ubuntu 11.04? Ubuntu does not see the card when plugged into the PCMCIA slot. I thought that if Ubuntu had a driver installed, it would pick up the device.
I'm trying to install the rt2870 driver on my server running Ubuntu Server 8.04. I've installed build-essential, checkinstall, cvs, subversion, git-core, mercurial... After uncompressing the tarball, doing a "sudo make" gives me this output:
I have had some trouble with understanding the wireless drivers. I am using backtrack 4 R1, and the reason was merely for the network and having many necessary networking dependencies already there. However I found that I am using a HAL for the ath9k and madwifi-ng drivers, thus I must patch the card and go through all of that.
The specific distribution I am using is Backtrack 4 R1 with KDE3 and ubuntu on the 2.6.34 kernel. I know I have through an update script found the wireless drivers and downloaded them, however all attempts to get it to fully work haven't helped. I checked the forums, and it doesn't seem like they consider it a backtrack specific question but a linux specific question. I performed hwinfo and it returns ath9k and the memory address, channels 1-14, wlan frequencies(2.412,2.417, 2.422, 2.427, 2.432, 2.437, 2.442, 2.447, 2.452, 2.457, 2.462, 2.467, 2.472, 2.484. I have all modes of encryption set.
I am using both ifconfig and iwconfig with a wicd frontend to access the network typically. Unfortunately I am only seeing a wlan0 and no ath0. Furthermore, I manually issue these commands I am doing so I set each aspect of the card up (i.e essid, channel, mtu, fragmentation, etc....).
Now I did shed some light upon this in the sense that I found out how to initialize the madwifi-ng hal abstraction layer via 'start airmon-ng wlan0' and then it returns.....
mon0 ath9k py0 etc. etc. etc.( this isn't exact I am unfortunately not at my computer. But the device is then able to work, however I am not sure as to why I am not able to have the ath0 device in my wireless devices if indeed everything else appears to be ath0.
I have been using Linux for 2 months, specifically Ubuntu, and been wondering where the source code is. Not only do I wonder where the kernel source code is but also where the source code for the installed programs are.
I downloaded wine from a windows laptop, but because you have to have a computer running Linux to download it as a .deb package, I had to download the source code as a tar. bz2.
Does anyone know how I compile it and make it executable?
I'm fairly new to Linux. I am trying to build and install the drivers for the ASUS USB-N10 wlan usb dongle, using the newest drivers from the Realtek website. I've never used make before on Linux and am running into what are probably some pretty basic problems, but I'm not sure where to look for the answers. I used aptitude to install the "make" and "build-essential" packages. I unpacked the drivers using Archive Manager. I changed to the driver directory and ran "make". It stopped with "No such file or directory." I became superuser and ran make, in case it had permission problems when creating the directory.
Here are the results. obie@four:~/realtek/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20110401/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20110401$ make make ARCH=i386 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/build M=/home/obie/realtek/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20110401/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20110401 modules make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/build: No such file or directory. Stop. make: *** [modules] Error 2 .....
I haven't modified the makefile in any way -- it is the same as what I downloaded. I've read posts from other users who have compiled and installed the drivers on Ubuntu with no problem.
The contents of the directory I'm in when I run make are as follows: drwxrwxrwx 21 obie obie 4096 Apr 1 03:25 . drwx------ 3 obie obie 4096 Sep 3 22:43 .. -rwx------ 1 obie obie 3479 Apr 1 03:25 autoconf_rtl8712_usb_linux.h -rwx------ 1 obie obie 151 Apr 1 03:25 clean drwxrwxrwx 2 obie obie 4096 Apr 1 03:25 cmd -rwx------ 1 obie obie 516 Apr 1 03:25 config drwxrwxrwx 2 obie obie 4096 Apr 1 03:25 crypto drwxrwxrwx 2 obie obie 4096 Apr 1 03:25 debug .....
I was trying to install VPN client for my Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. During the installation process the terminal reads:
"Directory containing linux kernel source code [/lib/modules/2.6.31-21-generic/build]"
On that I pressed enter for the default option (in bold). After a few more steps I reached the following error:
Making module sh: Can't open ./driver_build.sh Failed to make module "cisco_ipsec.ko".
[/lib/modules/2.6.31-21-generic/build] is the location where the installer expects the kernel source to be (I am guessing). So unless I correct the terminal (by providing the location of the kernel source), I think I will keep on getting the same error message.
So to get the kernel source I visited: [URL]From there I copy pasted the command:
I am following these instructions to install gnu backgammon. However I am doing this for the first time and I don't know how to get their source code from their site (here). Do I download everything?
does anyone know where to find the full Ubuntu source code all i can find is the kernel source. if any knows where to get the full source code for any major Linux distribution could they let me know.
