ndiswrapper troubles
I've installed ndiswrapper on my laptop running kubuntu 5.04 and have installed my bcmwl5 drivers. When I type "sudo ndiswrapper -l" It tells me drivers are installed and hardware s present. When I type "sudo ifconfig" it shows my eth0, lo, and wlan0 are present. I try to use "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" but it comes back with "no scan results"! This card has worked in every other distrobution as well as previous versions of ubuntu...Also when I type "sudo ifup wlan0" it says "Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0"...Any help?
P.S. there are several wifi networks in range... |
have you started ndiswrapper?
|
yes, "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" works fine
|
Ok, try
rmmod ndiswrapper then modprobe ndiswrapper and post the output of dmesg for ndiswrapper, should be dmesg | tail |
dmesg | tail:
Code:
|
ok, try booting with
acpi=noirq You may need to disable acpi |
how do I do that?
|
at the boot screen type
acpi=noirq |
at the grub I press c for command line and then enter "acpi=noirq" and it says "unrecognized command"...Am I doing this right?
|
Ok, First make a backup of /boot/grub/grub.conf
Then try booting with acpi=off (at the end of the kernel comand line: edit it in grub or in /boot/grub/grub.conf). you do not have to rerun grub after making changes (this is an example, look for the line that is similar and add the acpi=off to the end. Do not copy this line and add it to ur grub!!!!!!) kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/discs/disc1/part1 ro acpi=off |
