Problems using ndiswrapper kernel modules
Platform: Intel Pentium M (Dell Inspiron D600)
gcc 3.3.4-1,
kernel-image-2.6.4-1-686 2.6.4-1,
kernel-headers-2.6.4-1 2.6.4-1,
kernel-headers-2.6.4-1-686 2.6.4-1,
ndiswrapper 0.8-1,
ndiswrapper-source 0.8-1
I'm trying to follow the instructions on
http://tiefighter.et.tudelft.nl/~arthur/wpc54g/
to get support for a BroadCom BCM94306 based WLAN card.
However, the "modprobe ndiswrapper" isn't able to find the ndiswrapper
module resulting from the build.
Has anyone else seen this problem? Does anyone know how to correct
it?
The commands I ran, and their output, follows below.
Thanx!

Hotplug with Netgear WG511 Confusion
Hi all, I'm now completely confused by hotplug, pcmcia-cs, and how on earth to get my WG511 up automatically by either plugging it in while my laptop is running or when it is booting if it's already plugged in. I have successfully gotten my docking station's 3Com card working in this fashion as well as my Xircom 10/100 + 56K modem. However, all attempts at getting my Netgear WG511 to load automatically have failed. The only way I can get it to go is manually ifconfig eth0 up, then ifconfig eth0 down, then ifrename to give it the correct logical if name (ethwg5110), then ifconfig ethwg5110 up followed by iwconfig ethwg5110 essid mode enc and then, finally dhclient ethwg5110. Once I do this, it works like a charm. I have Googled, read the Debian reference, found what I could in /usr/share/doc, and am now even more confused than I was to begin with... Anyway, here's what I've done: Created /etc/iftab and added the following lines (using my real MAC addresses of course which I've triple checked): eth3com0mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ethxirc0mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ethwg5110 mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Edited /etc/network/interfaces and made it look like this (once again I've triple checked my essid and key are correct): mapping hotplug script echo auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth3com0 inet dhcp iface ethxirc0 inet dhcp iface ethwg5110 inet dhcp wireless-essid MY_ESSID wireless-mode Managed wireless-channel 11 wireless-key XX I've also added the following three lines to the top of my /etc/modprobe.d/aliases file: alias eth3com0 3c59x alias ethxirc0 xirc2ps_cs alias ethwg5110 prism54 When I boot with my laptop in the docking station, my 3Com card appears as eth3com0 with a DHCP allocated address. If I plug in my Xircom card, it appears as ethxirc0 with a DHCP allocated address. If I plug in my Netgear WG511 card, the modules prism54 and firmware_class get loaded, and that's it. If I run iwconfig, it shows up as eth0, not ethwg5110 as it should do when ifrename has been run. I also can't seem to find how to enable hotplug logging so I can see what's going on. This is all on a Dell Latitude CPi (old but works ok) with Debian Sarge. I try to keep Sarge as up to date as I can, and I think my last update was only a day or two ago at the most. I have the packages "hotplug", "wireless-tools", "ifupdown", "ifrename", and "pcmcia-cs" installed. I tried removing pcmcia-cs in case it was conflicting or something, but all that did was stop the Xircom from working. Does anyone have any pointers where I can go from here?

suspend to disk while in X
Hi, I recently got a Dell 600m laptop. I installed linux on it, but I ran into a few snags that are pretty much keeping me from leaving linux installed on it. It has an ATI Radeon mobility 9000 graphics card, which I successfully have working in X. However, when I'm in X, and close the lid (which suspends to disk via echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep), the machine goes to sleep fine -- but when I wake it up, after it boots, my X display is all garbled. After a second or two, it reboots a second time, and then is ok. It's very annoying, though, to have to boot twice -- its both time consuming (>1 min) and power consuming. If I have X open, but switch to a console before closing the lid, it will only have to resume once. Then I just ctrl+alt+F7 to get my X session back cleanly. This leads me to believe it has something to do with the video driver. I'm using the free one that comes with X. Has anyone else had and/or fixed this problem? I can't seem to figure it out. And "just switch to a console before you close the lid" isn't the answer I'm looking for :) Thanks, - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

i have similar issues with ati mach64 driver (and other various
devices that don't like to suspend).
i have a whole suspend script that unloads some modules, shuts
some things down, and changes the console to a text console
before suspending. is it acceptable to have it automatically
switch vt's for you?

floppy install: is there an immage with both EIDE and Wi-FI?
Hi, I've an Armada 7400 with a full disk of 800 Megs; I found a 40 Gig Dk230eb on ebay, and I'm trying to install linux on it, using floppy install because I don't have it's CDROM; I do have a great Wi-Fi Avaya 11b connection from the 2.4.18 linux on the 100% used disk. I've discovered that the latest sarge images will do Wi-Fi just great (DHCP to a belkin 7230-4 router), but won't recognize the new 40 Gig. I've discovered that a stable floppy 2.2.20 image will partition the HD just fine, but won't do Wi-Fi. what to do? The installation manual is tantalizing with it's many ways and means of installing.. but unless I stumble upon a floppy image kernel that does EIDE and Wi-Fi, I won't succeed. And there seems to be a way to extract a Wi-Fi module perhaps, or an EIDE module perhaps, and custom kernel it.. but what are the exact commands for doing that? Section 10 says 'look for the modules that you need.' But what name are they? and will they be files on the disk? thanks, Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Hotplug with Netgear WG511 Confusion
Hello, I was faced to the same sort of problem, so I tried to find a way to work with it. Here were my experience and discoveries. I use debian patched kernel 2.6.6 plus patch for bootsplash from testing distribution. I have a Compaq EVO N800C with integrated Intel eepro100 ethernet adapter seen as eth0 and a Cisco Aironet PCM350 wireless adapter seen as eth1 and wifi0. I just have the following within /etc/network/interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback Nothing else. To solve the problem, I first removed /etc/rc2.d/S20ifplugd. This one always claimed that ifplugd was already started for eth0 Then I looked why this was claimed. For me, with hotplug as implemented within Debian, as the PCI hotplug script discover the integrated eepro100 adapter, it start ifplugd for eth0 via the script /etc/hotplug.d/net/ifplug.hotplug. This last start /etc/init.d/ifplugd for each interface eth* or wlan* or ath*. Depending of the file content of /etc/default/ifplugd, it start or not the script /etc/ifplug/action.d/ifupdown.for this interface. I then modified those two files as follow to limit action precisely the the specified interface. /etc/default/ifplugd INTERFACES="eth0" HOTPLUG_INTERFACES="eth0" /etc/ifplugd/action.d/ifupdown ---strip --- up) /sbin/ifup $1 /sbin/dhclient $1(added to obtain info from dhcp server) ;; down) /sbin/ifdown $1 /sbin/ifconfig $1 down(added to remove ip address and routing info) ;; ---strip --- This was perfect for the integrated eepro100 interface and have no more action on the wireless interface. To control this one, I installed the debian package waproamd (apt-get install waproamd) from testing. This work nearly the same as ifplugd except, it refers to waproamd. I also removed S20waproamd from /etc/rc2.d. I modified the waproamd files to limit their action to eth1 in this case.. /etc/default/waproamd INTERFACES="eth1" HOTPLUG_INTERFACES="eth1" ARGS=" -w -M"(-M as the eth1 is a PCMCIA adapter, I need to monitor its presence) /etc/waproamd/action.d/ifupdown ---strip --- up) /sbin/ifup $1 /sbin/dhclient $1(added to obtain info from dhcp server) ;; down) /sbin/ifdown $1(nothing added, as removing the adapter, remove all infos) ;; ---strip --- After that, I find that with wireless connection, all process were very slow to start. The reason was the delay for the DNS request timeout. I have no DNS domain specified for my system. I solved this by adding my hostname as alias for the localhost in /etc/hosts. One more remark. Within files /etc/default/ifplugd or waproamd, INTERFACES seems not be used. The real important line is HOTPLUG_INTERFACES. This last specify the interface for which the script take an action. I hope those explanation will help you to find a solution. Regards Henri PS: I am on holliday till end augustus. - Original Message - From: "Peter A.

I have a similar problem with a Dell C840, apm instead of acpi, and a GeForce 4. What do you mean by "to boot twice" ? Is it "exit from suspend mode twice" ? I've tried the vt kludge, worked fine some times, but it's not a good solution. What I noticed: Sometimes, when opening the lid, the system run into "resume suspend" mode, then go immediately into "critical suspend". Then I close and reopen the lid, and the system is doing a "critical resume". AFAIK, "critical" apm is called with low battery status. I've no other information about it. Sometimes, the system freeze (no more keys but poweroff) after opening lid, and I must reboot. PS: Sorry for my english. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Do you have dri enabled? AFAIK the display should be ok as long as you
don't play with dri. Otherwise unless things have changed, suspend
support is implemented by reseting dri on VT switch, which is why you
need to switch to console.

For me it suspends fine as long as I don't play with dri. I wrote a
patch to the dri code that resets the card on vt switch like the Radeon
one. I don't know whats the state of current things though, I still
haven't upgraded from the dri tree of mid January (actually two
branches ago, since mach64 changed branches and then went mainline).
I do need to check the new code, hope I will have some time soon.

I'm trying to follow the instructions on
http://tiefighter.et.tudelft.nl/~arthur/wpc54g/
to get support for a BroadCom BCM94306 based WLAN card.
However, the "modprobe ndiswrapper" isn't able to find the ndiswrapper
module resulting from the build.
Has anyone else seen this problem? Does anyone know how to correct
it?
The commands I ran, and their output, follows below.
Thanx!

You'd need samba going somewhere...the Windows GTK port isn't bad. Unison is a good programme, but it has difficulties with international characters in file and directory names (they are not transferred correctly) when syncing between Windows and Linux.

Hotplug with Netgear WG511 Confusion
Hi all, I'm now completely confused by hotplug, pcmcia-cs, and how on earth to get my WG511 up automatically by either plugging it in while my laptop is running or when it is booting if it's already plugged in. I have successfully gotten my docking station's 3Com card working in this fashion as well as my Xircom 10/100 + 56K modem. However, all attempts at getting my Netgear WG511 to load automatically have failed. The only way I can get it to go is manually ifconfig eth0 up, then ifconfig eth0 down, then ifrename to give it the correct logical if name (ethwg5110), then ifconfig ethwg5110 up followed by iwconfig ethwg5110 essid mode enc and then, finally dhclient ethwg5110. Once I do this, it works like a charm. I have Googled, read the Debian reference, found what I could in /usr/share/doc, and am now even more confused than I was to begin with... Anyway, here's what I've done: Created /etc/iftab and added the following lines (using my real MAC addresses of course which I've triple checked): eth3com0mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ethxirc0mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ethwg5110 mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Edited /etc/network/interfaces and made it look like this (once again I've triple checked my essid and key are correct): mapping hotplug script echo auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth3com0 inet dhcp iface ethxirc0 inet dhcp iface ethwg5110 inet dhcp wireless-essid MY_ESSID wireless-mode Managed wireless-channel 11 wireless-key XX I've also added the following three lines to the top of my /etc/modprobe.d/aliases file: alias eth3com0 3c59x alias ethxirc0 xirc2ps_cs alias ethwg5110 prism54 When I boot with my laptop in the docking station, my 3Com card appears as eth3com0 with a DHCP allocated address. If I plug in my Xircom card, it appears as ethxirc0 with a DHCP allocated address. If I plug in my Netgear WG511 card, the modules prism54 and firmware_class get loaded, and that's it. If I run iwconfig, it shows up as eth0, not ethwg5110 as it should do when ifrename has been run. I also can't seem to find how to enable hotplug logging so I can see what's going on. This is all on a Dell Latitude CPi (old but works ok) with Debian Sarge. I try to keep Sarge as up to date as I can, and I think my last update was only a day or two ago at the most. I have the packages "hotplug", "wireless-tools", "ifupdown", "ifrename", and "pcmcia-cs" installed. I tried removing pcmcia-cs in case it was conflicting or something, but all that did was stop the Xircom from working. Does anyone have any pointers where I can go from here? Pete

suspend to disk while in X
Hi, I recently got a Dell 600m laptop. I installed linux on it, but I ran into a few snags that are pretty much keeping me from leaving linux installed on it. It has an ATI Radeon mobility 9000 graphics card, which I successfully have working in X. However, when I'm in X, and close the lid (which suspends to disk via echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep), the machine goes to sleep fine -- but when I wake it up, after it boots, my X display is all garbled. After a second or two, it reboots a second time, and then is ok. It's very annoying, though, to have to boot twice -- its both time consuming (>1 min) and power consuming. If I have X open, but switch to a console before closing the lid, it will only have to resume once. Then I just ctrl+alt+F7 to get my X session back cleanly. This leads me to believe it has something to do with the video driver. I'm using the free one that comes with X. Has anyone else had and/or fixed this problem? I can't seem to figure it out. And "just switch to a console before you close the lid" isn't the answer I'm looking for :) Thanks, - Matt

i have similar issues with ati mach64 driver (and other various
devices that don't like to suspend).
i have a whole suspend script that unloads some modules, shuts
some things down, and changes the console to a text console
before suspending. is it acceptable to have it automatically
switch vt's for you?

floppy install: is there an immage with both EIDE and Wi-FI?
Hi, I've an Armada 7400 with a full disk of 800 Megs; I found a 40 Gig Dk230eb on ebay, and I'm trying to install linux on it, using floppy install because I don't have it's CDROM; I do have a great Wi-Fi Avaya 11b connection from the 2.4.18 linux on the 100% used disk. I've discovered that the latest sarge images will do Wi-Fi just great (DHCP to a belkin 7230-4 router), but won't recognize the new 40 Gig. I've discovered that a stable floppy 2.2.20 image will partition the HD just fine, but won't do Wi-Fi. what to do? The installation manual is tantalizing with it's many ways and means of installing.. but unless I stumble upon a floppy image kernel that does EIDE and Wi-Fi, I won't succeed. And there seems to be a way to extract a Wi-Fi module perhaps, or an EIDE module perhaps, and custom kernel it.. but what are the exact commands for doing that? Section 10 says 'look for the modules that you need.' But what name are they? and will they be files on the disk? thanks, Ed
Re: Hotplug with Netgear WG511 Confusion
Hello, I was faced to the same sort of problem, so I tried to find a way to work with it. Here were my experience and discoveries. I use debian patched kernel 2.6.6 plus patch for bootsplash from testing distribution. I have a Compaq EVO N800C with integrated Intel eepro100 ethernet adapter seen as eth0 and a Cisco Aironet PCM350 wireless adapter seen as eth1 and wifi0. I just have the following within /etc/network/interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback Nothing else. To solve the problem, I first removed /etc/rc2.d/S20ifplugd. This one always claimed that ifplugd was already started for eth0 Then I looked why this was claimed. For me, with hotplug as implemented within Debian, as the PCI hotplug script discover the integrated eepro100 adapter, it start ifplugd for eth0 via the script /etc/hotplug.d/net/ifplug.hotplug. This last start /etc/init.d/ifplugd for each interface eth* or wlan* or ath*. Depending of the file content of /etc/default/ifplugd, it start or not the script /etc/ifplug/action.d/ifupdown.for this interface. I then modified those two files as follow to limit action precisely the the specified interface. /etc/default/ifplugd INTERFACES="eth0" HOTPLUG_INTERFACES="eth0" /etc/ifplugd/action.d/ifupdown ---strip --- up) /sbin/ifup $1 /sbin/dhclient $1(added to obtain info from dhcp server) ;; down) /sbin/ifdown $1 /sbin/ifconfig $1 down(added to remove ip address and routing info) ;; ---strip --- This was perfect for the integrated eepro100 interface and have no more action on the wireless interface. To control this one, I installed the debian package waproamd (apt-get install waproamd) from testing. This work nearly the same as ifplugd except, it refers to waproamd. I also removed S20waproamd from /etc/rc2.d. I modified the waproamd files to limit their action to eth1 in this case.. /etc/default/waproamd INTERFACES="eth1" HOTPLUG_INTERFACES="eth1" ARGS=" -w -M"(-M as the eth1 is a PCMCIA adapter, I need to monitor its presence) /etc/waproamd/action.d/ifupdown ---strip --- up) /sbin/ifup $1 /sbin/dhclient $1(added to obtain info from dhcp server) ;; down) /sbin/ifdown $1(nothing added, as removing the adapter, remove all infos) ;; ---strip --- After that, I find that with wireless connection, all process were very slow to start. The reason was the delay for the DNS request timeout. I have no DNS domain specified for my system. I solved this by adding my hostname as alias for the localhost in /etc/hosts. One more remark. Within files /etc/default/ifplugd or waproamd, INTERFACES seems not be used. The real important line is HOTPLUG_INTERFACES. This last specify the interface for which the script take an action. I hope those explanation will help you to find a solution. Regards Henri PS: I am on holliday till end augustus. - Original Message - From: "Peter A.

I have a similar problem with a Dell C840, apm instead of acpi, and a GeForce 4. What do you mean by "to boot twice" ? Is it "exit from suspend mode twice" ? I've tried the vt kludge, worked fine some times, but it's not a good solution. What I noticed: Sometimes, when opening the lid, the system run into "resume suspend" mode, then go immediately into "critical suspend". Then I close and reopen the lid, and the system is doing a "critical resume". AFAIK, "critical" apm is called with low battery status. I've no other information about it. Sometimes, the system freeze (no more keys but poweroff) after opening lid, and I must reboot. PS: Sorry for my english.

Do you have dri enabled? AFAIK the display should be ok as long as you
don't play with dri. Otherwise unless things have changed, suspend
support is implemented by reseting dri on VT switch, which is why you
need to switch to console.

For me it suspends fine as long as I don't play with dri. I wrote a
patch to the dri code that resets the card on vt switch like the Radeon
one. I don't know whats the state of current things though, I still
haven't upgraded from the dri tree of mid January (actually two
branches ago, since mach64 changed branches and then went mainline).
I do need to check the new code, hope I will have some time soon.

I don't have the package installed and /etc/ifplugd doesn't exist.

Thanks for the reply anyway :-) Pete This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
