as root try
insmod acx

before modprobe

 

hth

 

I redid everythig over again and this is what came up.

 

cp: overwrite `/lib/firmware/tiacx111r17'? y

[root@localhost acx111_1.2.1.34]# insmod acx

insmod: can't read 'acx': No such file or directory

[root@localhost acx111_1.2.1.34]# modprobe acx

FATAL: Module acx not found.

[root@localhost acx111_1.2.1.34]#

 

I went to MCC and configured the Wireless connection (before I tried your suggestion) and as it says "congratulations you have set up ..." it freezes up and I have to reboot. I did this 4 times so i know it wasn't a fluke.

FATAL: Module acx not found.

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. :)

OK! I am typing this over the wireless connection. :thumbs:

 

I could not get the native drivers to work and they kept freezing up the computer everytime I tried to configure the wireless connection.

 

I got lucky and a friend came over that is good on linux systems and I told him where I was at with it and we decided to try the ndiswrapper route. We downloaded the card's XP driver from the internet into a folder and configured it via the MCC option. and voila! I had access.

 

I have learned a lot over the last few days and I want to thank everyone that offerd their suggestions and help...Thank You!

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. ;)
