modprobe freezes?
I am very new to linux and openSUSE, but I have an Atheros. I have been following these instructions
http://en.opensuse.org/Atheros_ndiswrapper but yet, when I get to Quote:
|
you only have to type "modprobe ndiswrapper" The first line followed by # is just a comment for your reference and not to be typed. Or you might know that already, in which case you may indeed be hung. Why? Dunno... Are you operating as root? I assume so since you look for the # prompt to return which is root's own prompt. You can see if nothing happened by presseing CTRL-C and seeing if the prompt returns; and then follow the next step in that script to look for errors. If the prompt doesn't return you could press alt-f2 to get a new tty and login as root there. Run "ps aux" and see if modprobe is still running, if so get it's PID number and kill it using "kill ?some pid?" Then type exit to end that session, and alt-f1 to return to your first tty if necessary.

I skipped modprobe after canceling and now recieve a couple of errors as next step says, will post them in a minute.

it doesnt freeze, it just asks for another line
after modprobe ndiswrapper (and you press enter) it seems like it does nothing but you have to now next iwconfig |

madwifi installs (or seems to) but.. I dont know what to do next. I have run "madwifi-0.9.2.1-0.1.i586.rpm" and it opens yast and goes through full setup process, but afterwords will not sense network or anything.. and when I try to setup ndiswrapper it fails with a multitude of errors on dmesg | grep ndiswrapper
Though there were errors, I tried the next item (ifup wlan0) and it couldnt find wlan0. Im completely lost and pissed by now :P |
look here: http://en.opensuse.org/Atheros_madwifi
read the part that says Installation of kernel modules, so you add the madwifi to your installation source in yast, download and install through yast and then reboot and it should work that's how I got my atheros card working by the way, it's ath0 not wlan0 hope this helps -bhert |
and me are stumped!!:confused:
