so, where does the "wl.ko file is not present" error come from? Because, it is present and appears to work properly.
Also, you said kwifimanager shows no signal -- does it say the access point isn't there? Or can it find the SSID, but with low signal? Either way, have you checked the silly environmental things? (i.e. antenna(e) on router/computer are installed & tightened, access point's not encased in lead, etc.) On Sun, Dec 06, 2009 at 09:48:38PM +0530, Sudheendra wrote: > 1) modprobe -la | grep wl > > kernel/drivers/uwb/i1480/i1480u-wlp/i1480u-wlp.ko > kernel/drivers/uwb/wlp/wlp.ko > kernel/drivers/staging/wlan-ng/prism2_usb.ko > kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl12xx.ko > kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.ko > kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko > kernel/drivers/net/wireless/mwl8k.ko > kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945.ko > kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlagn.ko > kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlcore.ko > kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rndis_wlan.ko > kernel/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_wlc.ko > > 2) lsmod | grep wl > > wl****************** 1274828* 0 > lib80211*************** 6488* 2 lib80211_crypt_tkip,wl > > 3) depmod -a && modprobe wl > executed without messege. > > 2009/12/6 Daniel Eggleston <[1][email protected]> > > you said you modprobed wl already, so where is this error coming from? > > Creating the module is done by rebuilding the kernel modules, but try > the following, and send us the output (if any): > > 1) modprobe -la | grep wl > 2) lsmod | grep wl > 3) depmod -a && modprobe wl > > On Sun, Dec 6, 2009 at 12:14 AM, Sudheendra > <[2][email protected]> wrote: > > wl.ko file is not present at > /lib/modules/2.6.31-1-686/kernel/net/wireless. > > how to create wl.ko file? > > 2009/12/5 Daniel Eggleston <[3][email protected]> > > It's quite possible that the access point is not broadcasting (this > is an option with many routers, tell it to "Browadcast ssid")... and > to do WPA you will probably need to learn about > [4]http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/ > > On Sat, Dec 5, 2009 at 7:57 AM, Sudheendra > <[5][email protected]> wrote: > > thanks for reply. > > I am using WPA encryption....
