[Bug 103691] Re: av5100 module broken
I installed Kubuntu Gutsy on my Averatec 5110H laptop, and it still will not enable the wireless radio. The module still shows: av5100: failed at request_region() After compiling the old module version for the new kernel, it works as expected without any problems. It does not appear as though the developer has fixed this problem in latest version and seems to have abandoned the project. -- av5100 module broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103691 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance. ** Changed in: ubuntu Assignee: (unassigned) = Nanley Chery (nanoman) Status: New = Incomplete -- av5100 module broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103691 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 103691] Re: av5100 module broken
I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 on an old Averatec I had here -- everything
worked great except I couldn't get wireless up since the wifi was
disabled. My CD-ROM on that laptop is toast, so I could only do things
via my USB thumbdrive. I didn't want to have to build and install a
full kernel image, so I just hacked together a small userspace program
to toggle the wireless bits on/off.
So, for anyone else that might want it -- here is the source to do it
from userspace.
Paste the following into a file 'av5100.c'
/* -- BEGIN AV5100.C -- */
#include stdio.h
#include unistd.h
#include sys/io.h
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (iopl(3) 0) {
fprintf(stderr, iopl returned -1!\n);
return -1;
}
outl(0x80020800, 0xcf8);
outb(0x6f, 0x0072);
outl(0x1800, 0x1184);
outb((argc 1 argv[1][0] == '0') ? 0xe1 : 0xe0, 0xb2);
fprintf(stdout, Radio turned o%s\n,
(argc 1 argv[1][0] == '0') ? of : n);
}
/* - END AV5100.C --*/
and build it via:
gcc -O -o av5100 av5100.c
You can then turn the radio on/off via:
./av5100--- turns the radio on
./av5100 0--- turns the radio off
