Toshiba Satellite A215-S7422 sound and wireless problem
I bought a Toshiba A215-7422 Laptop sound or wireless will not work and suggestions?
|
What distro? 32 or 64?
|
Fedora trouble
it is 32 bit version of fedora
|
I am pretty sure it is an atheros, but just to make sure post as root;
Code:
su - http://www.atheros.cz/ then cd to where you have the file .inf; again as root; Code:
ndiswrapper -i whatever.inf |
I have the same laptop.
Wireless works with rtl8187b-modified-dist.tar.gz (just google for it), and sound works with the realtek-linux-audiopack I basically just followed this how-to http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/blo...te-a215-s7407/ |
Could you explain to me the steps you followed to get the sound working that page is kinda confusing to me

I tried ndiswrapper but it was a miserable failure...
only the modified realtek driver worked. I have both the one for Ubuntu kernel 2.6.22 and the modified jadams one for 2.6.24 kernel. I followed the instructions and it works flawlessly.
The only thing is that I have to crank up a root terminal and crank it up manually by typing in a couple of commands and then it works flawlessly. Ndiswrapper was a miserable failure. It installed the Win98 driver but it would say the device was not present. So I uninstalled ndiswrapper as the miserable failure it is. I got 10 times better results with the modified realtek8187b driver for linux. Ndiswrapper did NOT live up to the hype. Totally useless and worthless, and a complete waste of my time. By the way, I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-7437 and it is online now with the modified jadams realtek driver as I type this. Also, my sound works great, out of the box, with Ubuntu 8.04-i386. Before, with 7.10 I had to manually configure the soundcard to work. Also, still trying to figure out how to use Samba to access a Windoze Vista computer. It always wants a password and I can't figure out what password it needs. So I cannot network 2 computers. I have to put everything on a cd and run it to the other computer. Any ideas how to use Samba? |
