Added tifm_sd to modprobe.preload and now it's working. Learned it from http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=25133. Unfortunately, according to http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml...x12/xx21_driver, it doesn't support Memory Stick and xD/SmartMedia cards at the moment. Hopefully, some time soon the updates will come out.

It actually doesn't work. Here are the contents of my /etc/modprobe.preload: yenta_socket tifm_7xx1 mmc_core mmc_block sdhci The device can be detected but when I try to insert a card, it doesn't get recognized, there's no pop-up window.

I tried everything written in the link above. But still it doesn't work. I also tried running the patch but it hangs.

I have an internal card reader on my laptop with the model specified above. When I open harddrake it is able to detect the device but when I try to insert a card nothing happens. I also tried to browse to /media but it can't find the device there. Does anyone know how to fix this?

How come I can't find any package when I try to execute the following: urpmi java-1.6.0 I also tried urpmi java-sun but to no avail.

I am using Mandriva 2007.1 Spring with pre-installed Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.3. Unfortunately, firefox doesn't have the java plugin (or any other plugins) pre-installed. So here's how to do it: 1) Download the Java Installer from the sun website and copy it to /usr/java (You might need to create the directory if it is missing). 2) Perform the following # chmod a+x jre-6u1-linux-i586-rpm.bin 3) Next # ./jre-6u1-linux-i586-rpm.bin 4) Next go to the mozilla plugin directory # cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ 5) Run the following # ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so 6) Now go to the firefox plugin directory # cd /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.3/plugins/ 6) Run the same command as in step 5 # ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so 7) Open your firefox browser, or restart the browser if it is already opened. 8) Then go to Edit > Preferences. Under Content category > Select Enable Java. 9) To make sure that the plugin is installed, type about:plugins in your browser and press Enter. You should see something like below: application/x-java-vm Java Yes application/x-java-applet Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.1 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.2 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.3 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.2 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.1 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.2 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.3 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.3.1 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.4 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.1 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.2 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.5 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.6 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_01 Java Yes 10) You can also go to Verify Java Installation in the sun website to check if the plugin is already installed.

Finally, I was able to install the plugin to my Firefox browser. Here are the steps I did: 1) Execute the steps in http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#rpm. 2) For the instruction in http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#enable, make a link of the java directory to firefox and mozilla by executing the commands below: cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ <-- (mozilla directory) ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so <-- (jre version is 1.6.0_01) cd /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.3/plugins/ <-- (firefox directory) ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so 3) Go to Edit > Preferences. Under Content category > Select Enable Java.

I am trying to install the java runtime environment from the sun website to my Firefox 2.0.0.3. I followed the instructions from http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#rpm. But when I opened my firefox browser and browse to http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp, the page displays but the applet doesn't load. Any help on this?

I was able to run './configure' but when I run the 'make' command I got this error: chix_gaim.c:954: error: initializer element is not constant chix_gaim.c:954: error: (near initialization for 'info.summary') chix_gaim.c:955: error: initializer element is not constant chix_gaim.c:955: error: (near initialization for 'info.description') chix_gaim.c: In function 'init_plugin': chix_gaim.c:972: warning: passing argument 1 of 'gaim_account_option_bool_new' makes pointer from integer without a cast chix_gaim.c:975: warning: passing argument 1 of 'gaim_account_option_string_new' makes pointer from integer without a cast chix_gaim.c:978: warning: passing argument 1 of 'gaim_account_option_int_new' makes pointer from integer without a cast make[2]: *** [chix_gaim.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/chix_gaim-1.0.0/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/chix_gaim-1.0.0' make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 Attached is the complete log of the error I encountered. Could anyone help me to fix this? chix_make_error.txt

After running the above commands I am now able to access the urpmi from the console. Thanks to ianw1974.

I have just found out from ramfree17 that I need to install gaim-devel as well. I'll try to install this tonight and see what happens.

Has anyone tried to install this chix plugin? I am getting an error when I try to run './configure': checking for GAIM_CFLAGS... checking for GAIM_LIBS... configure: error: Gaim 1.0 and above is required. I have already installed Gaim but still get the same error.

Well, I'm a newbie at this platform, easily freaks out when something goes wrong. Good thing there's these forums to help me. Hehehe. Thanks again.

I have already set up my wireless device using urpmi. No need of the ieee80211 subsystem. Thanks for all the help.

I got my wireless device working after your comment. Thanks to all those who helped.

Because I'm trying to install the driver for my wireless device (Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG). Although ieee80211 subsystem is already installed, it cannot be found.

I am trying to install the ieee80211 subsystem components but when I execute the make command, I am getting this error: Checking in /lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv for ieee80211 components... make -C /lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/build M=/ieee80211-1.2.17 modules make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/build' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/build' make: *** [modules] Error 2 Can anyone help me on this. [moved from Networking by spinynorman]

I just installed Mandriva 2007.1 Spring and tried installing ndiswrapper to make my wireless device work. But when I tried to run modprobe I encountered the following error: FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/3rdparty/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko.gz): Invalid argument FATAL: Error running install command for ndiswrapper I am trying to install ndiswrapper for Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (w39n51.sys and w39n51.inf) I would appreciate any help.

I am using Mandriva 2007 and I am connected to a LAN thru a proxy. Using Mozilla Firefox, I can connect to the Internet but using the console, I am not able to. How do I configure this?

Thanks for the help. I will try this later and see what happens.

Yes, it is Mandriva. How do I configure the urpmi? Please provide me a step-by-step procedure on doing that. Thank you.

I am new to linux and I have no idea how to make my wireless connection work. I have an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. Could someone please help me make my device work? Please send me a step-by-step procedure of how I can configure my device. Thank you.
