  1. Sound Issues in MDK 10.1

    in Hardware

    Posted

    Ok guys, I fix my wifi in ndiswrapper, now I got sound issues :cheeky:

     

    I have one VIA onboard sound, and one SB 5.1 PCI soundcard, here is what I can do straight after the installation:

     

    all sound and music (waves, CD, MP3, Movies) works on the VIA onbaord sound

    only music CD works in SB5.1 (digital signal, I didn't use the stanadard 4 pins autdio cable in between the DVDROM and the SB5.1)

     

    then I did the alsaconf and got MP3 to works in the SB5.1, but it is still not playing back sound in WMV video files, the KDE system bell, as well as MIDI

     

    :help:

    Guys, many of you know I have been battling with ndiswrapper for a long time, and now I have a breakthrough after many night of knoppix and mephis. :juggle:

     

    The reason I can't set the WiFi in linux properly is due to the iwconfig is not taking any essid I entered, so I wonder whether it is something to do with the encryption method for the WiFi. :help:

     

    I changed from WEP64, to WEP128, to WPA, still no successes, but about one hour ago I decide is time to see what happen if I use "open" instead of "restricted" in "iwconfig wlan0 key restricted XXXXXXXXXXXX". And BINGO!!! :thumbs:

     

    The iwconfig found my WiFi AP essid, however for some reason when ever I use the DHCP client or ifconfig in knoppix it will hang the system, but in mephis it works without a problem!!! And I am currently posting this message in mephis using wg311v2 windows driver load with ndiswrapper in the latest mephis live cd!!! :twisted:

     

    I will install the MDK 10.1 back on to my system and give it a try, but might move on to Debian :jester:

     

    MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SETUP THE WEP OR WPA BEFORE ISSUE THE ESSID CONFIGURATION WITH IWCONFIG

    For those people who have a ACX111 or ACX100 based WiFi NIC, the 10.1 MDK have intergrated a very old module of the ACX100/111 sourceforge project driver in the module, you will need to remove them before setting up ndiswrapper

     

    I am not sure about whether this will remove it entirly or the symlink still exist:

     

    rm /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/3rdparty/acx100/acx100.ko.gz

    but what I can't do is set the ESSID and actually connect to the wireless router.

     

    To set essid

     

    iwconfig wlan0 essid "youressid"

     

    I have more problem cause the latest 10.1 have loaded the beta acx111 native driver from the acx100/111 sourceforge project, and I think it cause conflict with ndiswrapper.

     

    I am using NETGEAR WG311V2, I have setup ndiswrapper fine, but the iwconfig doesn't take any of the pramameter I setup.

    I found I have to put another semi column between the sys driver and the inf file in the modprobe config:

     

    alias wlan0 ndiswrapper
install ndiswrapper /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ndiswrapper && { loadndisdriver 14e4 4320 /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5.sys; /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5.inf; }

     

    Everthying else work nice, however I have one issue, my wireless AP is running WPA, and i did get the wpa_supplicant working with ndiswrapper, however I have to do this all the time:

     

    dhclient wlan0 & wpa_supplicant -Dndiswrapper -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Bw

     

    Does any one know how to have this line run automatically after the ndiswrapper module is loaded?

     

    Thanks

     

    Steven
