New Laptop, new problems
I just got me a new Toshiba. It's nice, has all the gadget trimmings, and even MS Vista (blah). A big step up from my HP Pavilion bought 5 years ago.
First thing on the agenda is, reformat the hard drive and re-partition for a Fedora 6 install. I did, now I have a duel boot (because how can one judge Vista if he does not give it a chance). Fedora installation was fast, but a few of my devices didn't detect. (Wireless, soundcard) On my old system, I had some driver issues, but the devices were detected. This time around, no detection (of the wireless) and wrong sound driver. I know I can get the wireless to work with ndiswrapper, but I don't know how to make the card detect. I guess I am just use to the windows device manager. Can anyone steer me in the right path? Mike Devices: (as seen in windows) Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN Realtek High Definition Audio |
You should try:
lspci -vv Then look for something that should be your sound card, like mine: 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) Subsystem: nVidia Corporation A8N-VM CSM Mainboard Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 0 (500ns min, 1250ns max) Interrupt: pin B routed to IRQ 23 Region 0: Memory at febd8000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [50] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Address: 0000000000000000 Data: 0000 Capabilities: [6c] HyperTransport: MSI Mapping Then search the forums for support. Good luck! |
will this show me the wireless device as well?
|
yes, for sure, unless it is not PCI or it is broken.

Ok I will give this a whirl and go from there. Thanks for the leg up on this.
