Toshiba laptop A215-S7422, debian etch installed # uname -a: 2.6.22-4-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 10:29:27 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I'm following the instructions here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/trying-to-load-module-ndiswrapper-with-modprobe-modprobe-ndiswrapper-doesnt-work-322203/?s=16932898c44a3ad09908835b182b666d if link above broken, look here: http://tinyurl.com/2a9jcj I have the ndiswrapper deb installed, ndiswrapper-utils-1.9, deb version 1.28-1 (stable), but usbcore appears to be missing. The relevant info: # modinfo ndiswrapper modinfo: could not find module ndiswrapper # modprobe usbcore FATAL: Module usbcore not found # modprobe ndiswrapper FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found > if you do have usbcore and you don't have ndiswrapper, try "update-modules" which I did, but usbcore is still missing. Don't know if it is built directly into kernel, don't know how to check this. If it is, I tried compiling ndiswrapper with module-assistant, and got an error message: /usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper/ndis.c:1862: warning: > unused variable 'radio_status which is referenced as a debian bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=419057 I'm using the kernel (listed above) from debian-backports and don't want to use the stock etch kernel, I'll be updating the kernel as backports updates its kernel as I'm trying to solve other problems with the laptop as well (getting logged out of X, laptop going to screensaver, then blank screen, then after a while I can't get back into laptop, it seems to be in a frozen hibernation mode, etc., no sound, other issues. # locate usbcore.ko returns nothing # modprobe -n -v --first-time usbcore FATAL: Module usbcore not found. # lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 Host Bridge 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 PCI to PCI Bridge (Internal gfx) 00:04.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 7914 00:05.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 7915 00:06.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 PCI to PCI Bridge (PCI Express Port 2) 00:12.0 SATA controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 Non-Raid-5 SATA 00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI0) 00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI1) 00:13.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI2) 00:13.3 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI3) 00:13.4 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI4) 00:13.5 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB Controller (EHCI) 00:14.0 SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 SMBus Controller (rev 14) 00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 IDE 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia 00:14.3 ISA bridge: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 PCI to LPC Bridge 00:14.4 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 PCI to PCI Bridge 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] 08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
