I have Mandrake 8,2 and these versions of Acx-100 driver,
when executing the command "insmod" i obtain these errors,
# insmod acx100_pci.o
Result: acx100_pci.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module
parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
# insmod acx100_pci-2.4.19.o
Result: acx100_pci-2.4.19.o: unresolved symbol zone_table
in truth not like correcting them if somebody knows of some solution
serious me of much aid.
I have a D-Link 520+ and I am trying to load the acx100_pci.o module on my SuSe 2.4.19-4GB kernel. I cannot find the source for the acx100_pci driver and cannot get the 2.4.18 version of this module to load in my 2.4.19 kernel. Anyone know how to side-step this problem or know where I can get a 2.4.19-4GB version for my kernel.
The error I get when running insmod acx100_pci.o is: acx100_pci.o: kernel-module version mismatch
acx100_pci.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.18-6mdk while this kernel is version 2.4.19-4GB
BTW.. In case someone is loooking for the 2.4.18 kernel drivers, I got the drivers here:
you can solve the kernel missmatch problem by editing the module with a hex-editor. just look for the first appearance of 2.4.18-6mdk and replace it with the name of your kernel and fill empty spaces with 00(hex).
btw: i'm a total linux newbie trying to get my wlan-card to work. i found this clue on one of my many quests for solutions on the net...
download d-link drivers .it's like a modules.you better to download socure fiel.and then make.
that messages means it's diffrient lib link.so u can buitl by you self and use your lib.
maybe need to pack kernel and make modules then install.
I have a Planet wl-8305 PCI card, which also uses the ACX100 chipset, and I can't make it work even in mandrake 8.2... The driver recognizes it, it even detects the access-point, but I can't ping anything on the other part... does anyone have any suggestion?
Just to preface the nonsense that follows, I'm a true unlike some of you, having only used Mandrake 9.1 for about 4 days now. I just got thrown in at the deep end.
I too have a DWL-520+ which I'm trying to run under Mandy using the driver available at http://www.ivor.it/wireless/acx.html.
The install was more or less successful (the LED lights up) although I noticed that a rm command wasn't performed successfully and it still says module: Unkown in the Mandrake configuration tool.
I've also edited the /etc/modules.conf as per instructions at http://www.ivor.it/wireless/HOWTO_acx100.txt. However, I'm still not entirely satisfied by my TI night-light. The instructions say to run a generic starter script (I think) but the example given is for a static IP. I'm using dchp for an ADSL connection. Can anyone who actually knows what he or she is doing tell me how to get around this or direct me to a URL where I can .
Thanks
PS. Remember that even I have to understand it, so type slowly or sumthin .
A friend of me also get a D-link DWL 520+ wlan card.
We have installed Linux Mdk 9.1
We have found the drivers acx100sta bianries precompiled against the latest kernel of mdk that we've installed and loaded. Until there all works!!We have checked all taht with wireless tools
The LED is on
The Mandrake Control Center shows the device, but the connection is down
But i'm wondering if the README is right telling us to insert
alias eth1 in the modules.conf file
It would rather be alias wlan0 don't I??????
I'm really confused about that
I think i'm very close to the internet connection "up"
so help me pls
And do I need to put the network on with ifconfig interface
options? If yes how is the synthax???
THX
I don't know what to do!! I've read every article, every blog and it seems that no matter how many times someone says they are a newbie, this expert users still refuse to put the info in terms that we can understand! Ugh!!
I just installed Mandriva One 2007 Free Gnome (that's what it's called lol) I also am using the crappy freakin DWL 520+ card with abosultely NO luck getting it to wrk...i've installed this and that in /lib/firmware like every site said to with NO LUCK!
Is there anyone who actually knows what they are doing and who can put it into step-by-step steps for us NEWBIES, i.e. don't know shit about Linux! Anyone!? Anyone at all!?
