dell wireless 1350 driver installation
Hi
i am trying to install wlan driver on dabian kernel 2.6.26. (dell latitude d600 machine) i am using ndiswrapper1.54 and windows driver(R81433). But it is not working details are as follows. commands and outputs siraj:/home/rathore# ndiswrapper -l bcmwl5 : driver installed device (14E4:4320) present (alternate driver: ssb) this alternate driver:ssb is strange, i dont know whether it is cuase of problem how to remove it. AND "modprobe ndiswrpper" works fine with out an error. but when i checked with ifconfig or iwconfig it does not detect wlan0 device. Any suggestion to fix this issue would be welcomed. Regards Siraj |
Check lsmod to see if both modules are being loaded. If so, you may need to blacklist the one you don't want. Having two drivers trying to interface with one NIC will cause problems. If there is a native linux driver, I'd suggest trying it before ndiswrapper.
It might help if you post the output of ifconfig. |
try checking modprobe.conf for alias wlan0 ndiswrapper and if it is not there then add it. then probably easier to just reboot the machine.

lsmod output contains "ssb" but not ndiswrapper. native linux drivers dont work with this hardware(dell wireless 1350). Only solution is ndiswrapper. i am sending ifconfig output but it is not detecting wireless card at all. siraj:/home/rathore# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:43:4b:f7:9a inet addr:213.100.138.48 Bcast:213.100.138.63 Mask:255.255.255.224 inet6 addr: fe80::211:43ff:fe4b:f79a/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:585 errors:114 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:781 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:114 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:268721 (262.4 KiB) TX bytes:194879 (190.3 KiB) Interrupt:11 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:560 (560.0 B) TX bytes:560 (560.0 B) Regards Siraj |
If ndiswrapper -l lists the correct driver and notes that the card is available, try modprobe ndiswrapper, then ifconfig again.
Beyond that, I'd go back to the ndiswrapper docs and start over. You should be able to see the NIC in lspci and ndiswrapper in lsmod. If you don't find these, you need to back up and figure out what the issue is. |
