In your /etc/network/interfaces (if your wireless is eth1) make sure you have the line auto eth1 for wireless, and allow-hotplug eth0 for ethernet.

I agree with tyme. It is 'very' important to contact them and let them know before the warranty is up. I use the same wireless chip as you, and have had no problems using Linux or Windows... contact the manufacturer!

Check in the /etc/modprobe.preload.d directory and remove any bcm43xx... if it's there? Try again, and if that doesn't work: I've never tried this (so I'm not responsible for anything that goes wrong), but you could rename it, so the system can't find it? cd /lib/modules/2.6.17-5mdv/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx mv bcm43xx.ko.gz no-bcm43xx.ko.gz you may need to use depmod to update the 'system.map' for this to work properly... I'm not sure? Maybe someone else here knows? Good luck!

Well, it should have worked. :P Anyway, make sure you have removed or commented out any bcm43xx in /etc/modprobe.preload and any 'alias wlan0 bcm43xx' in /etc/modprobe.conf Use the .inf file with ndiswrapper. reboot and see what happens. :)

Sorry the native module is not working out for you. Using your favorite editor open /etc/modprobe.conf and add the line: blacklist bcm43xx this will prevent the bcm43xx module from loading.

Is this the first time you have booted since it was working with the native module? Have you tried going to MCC > Hardware > Look at and configure hardware, and setting it up there? Then go to Network and Internet > Wireless connection, and set that up.

Actually, it should be the path: /usr/bin/realplay I've explained this before in this thread: so my instructions are correct for using the Realplayer10Gold.bin. However since Jim has used the RealPlayer-10.0.8.805-3.SoS.2007.0.i586.rpm he must change: /usr/local/bin/realplay to /usr/bin/realplay

I had just the opposite, Mandriva and Xubuntu changed correctly, but Debian Etch did not. :huh:

Congrats, I'm glad you have it working! :) However, would you please give me the model of your wireless device? I need this to try to replicate the problem and file a bug report, and to notify the Kernel devs... so that we (Linux users) will not always be dependent on windows drivers. ;)

Thanks! I have a new toy to play with. :D

Ok, that's my fault, sorry. I have too many different distros here. I see that Mandriva 2007.0 has acx-common, acx-pci, and acx-usb. What do you have a pci wireless card? So if you have a pci card, as root try: modprobe acx-pci You should however be able to go to MCC > Hardware > Look at and configure hareware, and set it up there. Then go to Network and Internet > Wireless connection, and set up that. Oh, and you don't have to keep doing 'everything' over. :)

Just make one Jim. In your /home/james/.mozilla directory right-click > create new > folder, and name it plugins

I agree, that's the 'only' reason I pointed it out. I wasn't trying to offend anyone. :)

There's a link at the top of this page, or you can use this: https://mandrivausers.org/easyurpmi/index.php I think you'll be able to figure it out when you get there. :)

Not quite Jim, because you won't find a Mozilla components in your .mozilla directory. Either copy or link both the files into ~/.mozilla/plugins directory. Please read: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#RealPlayer [greg@halfway ~]$ cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.1/components [greg@halfway components]$ ls |grep nphelix nphelix.xpt* The nphelix.xpt provides scripting support for the Realplayer, and according to mozdev.org should be in the components directory. I'm not trying to confuse anyone or start an argument, but... mine works. :)

OK, open your Konsole and do: mkdir temp then cd temp then wget -r -np http://195.66.192.167/linux/acx_patches/fw/acx111_1.2.1.34/ then cd 195.66.192.167/linux/acx_patches/fw/acx111_1.2.1.34/ then su enter your password, then cp tiacx111 tiacx111c16 tiacx111c17 tiacx111r16 tiacx111r17 /lib/firmware/ then modprobe acx open your mcc and set up your wireless connection. :)

@arctic, Sorry to here about your lappy, I hope you've 'only' damaged the hd. @Jimtim, I've just dissembled a RealPlayer-10.0.8.805-3.SoS.2007.0.i586.rpm and it does indeed place the realplay script in /usr/lib/RealPlayer10GOLD/realplay with it linked to /usr/bin/realplay, so /usr/bin/realplay will (should) work. I have installed Realplayer on my systems with the Realplayer10Gold.bin, and it places the script in /usr/local/bin/realplay, I'm sorry for that bit of confusion. As SilverSurfer60 has noted: Copy or link nphelix.so to your Mozilla plugins directory and nphelix.xpt to your Mozilla components directory.

I'm guessing here that you don't have python2.5 installed? If not, and you have changed the first line of /usr/bin/beryl-settings from: #!/usr/bin/env python to #!/usr/bin/env python2.5 change it to: #!/usr/bin/env python2.4 and try again. Alternatively, you could leave it as: #!/usr/bin/env python and try to open it with: python2.4 /usr/bin/beryl-settings

The solution: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?s=&...st&p=304060

As root try modprobe snd-via82xx then go to mcc > hardware > look at and config hardware, and set up you card.

We need some more info Ernie. Please post the output of: lspci -v |grep Sound and aplay --list-devices

I've just booted up my old p2 test box: greg@atlantis:~$ uname -a Linux atlantis 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Fri Oct 13 18:45:35 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux greg@atlantis:~$ lspci |grep Network 00:0e.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless Interface and I'm posting this with the Native acx module using a 256-bit key. FYI, I'm also using the Native module for my laptop that has a Broadcom 4318 using the same key. I'm not having any problems with either of these, in fact, they work perfectly. Since the OP wanted to use the Native acx module... lets let him(or her) try it, and decide for themselves? :)

OK, in a terminal as root you must cd to the directory cd Desktop where you have d/l the firmware files (all of them). Then do cp tiacx111 tiacx111c16 tiacx111c17 tiacx111r16 tiacx111r17 /lib/firmware/ then do modprobe acx open your mcc and set up your wireless connection.

You need to d/l the firmware (without any .htm extensions) from: http://195.66.192.167/linux/acx_patches/fw/acx111_1.2.1.34/ and as root, copy them all to /lib/firmware then as root do: modprobe acx open your mcc and set up your wireless connection.
