Re: eth1 disappears after kernel upgrade
guys I have taken a hybrid approach I have a couple of the broadcom-sta I did a m-a -t build, which failed, I then cd /usr/src/modules/broadcom-sta/amd64 (i think from memeory) then from tmp/modules (this is where I had grabbed the latest broadcom-sta source from broadcom) I copied over the directories amd64 to amd64 and i386 to i386. The next step was to m-a -O -t build braodcom-sta and done I have a deb package that I can install against .6.31 the tail versioning is out but hell it works and its a deb package :) ask me off list if people want the broadcom-sta package Anthony hi, I was try your and official way but without success. I have 2.6.32-trunk-686. here is my output: make[5]: *** [/usr/src/modules/broadcom-sta/i386/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.o] Error 1 make[4]: *** [_module_/usr/src/modules/broadcom-sta/i386] Error 2 make[3]: *** [sub-make] Error 2 make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-trunk-686' make[1]: *** [binary-modules] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/broadcom-sta' make: *** [kdist_build] Error 2 do you maybe have some suggestion? thanks, Goran Dobosevic -- Bye, Goran Dobosevic Hrvatski: www.dobosevic.com English: www.dobosevic.com/en/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Then you'll have to do what we did in the 2.6.31 kernel thread: http://wiki.debian.org/wl OK, the steps indicated there have now worked for me. A couple of things were needed. 1. Although this is on a 64-bit computer I'm using a 32-bit kernel so I have to use the 32-bit driver (obvious to everyone but me, I expect). 2. I had problems loading the wl module. Then for some reason kernel 2.6.31-1-686-bigmem started locking up X for me. So I removed it and also removed the relevant module in /lib, followed by a reinstall of the kernel and linux-headers. This time everything worked correctly: I followed the steps in the link above, rebooted, and wireless came up flawlessly. So although I'm not clear what the difficulty was initially (slight corruption in downloads?) it's fine now.

eth1 disappears after kernel upgrade
When I installed kernel 2.6.30-2-686-bigmem my eth1 disappeared, so no wireless.
