Moving a module from updates/ to kernel/
Here's the deal, I think I have the ipw3945 driver installed on my computer, but I think it is in the wrong place. I am running SuSE 10.1 with an OS: Linux 2.6.16.13-4-smp i686
The reason I think it is in the wrong place is best explained by the following terminal jibberish: Code:
nathan@ollie:~> su I was just going to copy this file by hand from it's current directory to the 'right' one, but thought better of it. Can anyone tell me if I am right in assuming I have to move this file and if so how to proceed? Thanks for any help. |
Also, I have used modprobe on ipw3945, but nothing seems to happend, even with the -v option on.
|
Anyone have an idea?

Did it actually do anything ??? - "lsmod | grep -i ipw"
Maybe try insmod. As to your initial question, I have that module at ../kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw3945/ipw3945.ko (Note, Ubuntu) Personally I have no issue copying modules around - e.g. the ATI drivers (different machine) get lost occasionally. |
This is all I got when I did "lsmod | grep ipw":
Code:
ollie:/home/nathan # lsmod|grep ipw |
So I think I may have some more info here cause I tried dmesg right after doing a modprobe on ipw3945:
Code:
dmesg|grep ipw |
The lsmod says it was loaded. As for the errors, sorry can't help.

Ok, so it turns out that I didn't the the propietary ucode files or whatever, so I installed those, and suddenly the light for my wireless card started flashing like a wireless card gone crazy. I did iwconfig and it is now showing up. When I use KWifi manager to try to connect to my local network, it says that the WEP is wrong, so it aborts. This is a little confusing, but at least I'm a lot closer than I have ever been.
