new kernels and wireless problems - Thursday, September 28, 2006 1:44 pm
Kat started her new job with the health department yesterday. Yay! Go Kat.  I have been stuck at home because the daycare provider decided to take off wed, thurs, and fri.  What a way to spend my leave time.  I don't like being stuck at home.  

    On a more technical note, I upgraded my kernel on my laptop to 2.6.17.  Lo an behold, the wireless breaks!  Crap.  So I went and looked at the issue.     It doesn't work.  I get errors like this in my /var/log/syslog:

kernel: bcm43xx: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode4.fw" not available or load failed

  And when I do an 'ifup wlan0', I get:

SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory

  After much forum hunting I found out  there is a new driver for my broadcom network card.So I had to add this to my '/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist'

blacklist bcm43xx

This makes it so the crappy broadcom driver doesn't load and ndiswrapper driver loads up.  Yay, working wireless.  Thank god it didn't break the DRI driver for my Radeon IGP 345M (video card).  Getting that driver to work was a royal pain in my ass.  

    One issue I had been having was getting the framebuffer driver to work under the console.  Typically you would use "RADEONFB"  but this driver does not support my video card and I'll be damned if I know how in the hell to get a driver that supports it.  This would be nice for using things like qingy or advanceMAME to work.  Any help? comments
