blacklisting bcm43xx
I have an Acer Aspire 3000 with the bcm4318 network card. When I started off with this computer, I was using ndiswrapper in Ubuntu 6.06, and have set up this config using the directions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...&postcount=218 several times without a problem. However, today I decided to to a new install on my system (had nothing better to do) with the shiny new Ubuntu 6.10. Once I had the new version on my box, I used the same set of instructions to get wireless working, but to no avail. When I run the following two lines
Code:
modprobe -l | grep bcm43xx Code:
crashsystems@crashsystems:~$ sudo rmmod bcm43xx crashsystems |
Code:
modprobe -l Code:
lsmod Code:
lsmod | grep bcm43xx Brian |
Well, I guess that my blacklisting of bcm43xx worked, because when I use lsmod to search for it, I see that it is not loaded. However, ndiswrapper is not loaded ether. So I tried using the modprobe command to load it manually, and it didn't work. After it failed to load, I got some error stuff in /var/log/syslog. Here is the output from my shell session:
Code:
crashsystems@crashsystems:~$ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper crashsystems |
I just figured out how to fix the problem. I found the solution on post number 4 of an ubuntuforums.org thread. BCarey, thanks for your help.
