Cant find network folder

English Install/Boot/Login

Yast cant detect any interface with his network manager.

There is no wireless interface in the overview tab.

22

What directory is there rt2870sta.ko file in?

23

/OS/Linux. From there I load it in the kernel.

I can c it in the /proc/module list.

How can I c its running in the kernel?

24

Try these steps:

  1. Remove module from memory (as root)
rmmod rt2870sta
  1. Copy module to the correct place (as root)
cp /OS/Linux/rt2870sta.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
  1. Build module dependencies
depmod -a
  1. Load module
modprobe rt2870sta
  1. Check interfaces with wireless extentions:
iwconfig
25

The cp function doesnt work very well…

I c the .ko is not copied.

26

Check files:

ls /OS/Linux/rt2870sta.ko
ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
27

And did you blacklist rt800usb module?

28

Sorry, i mean rt2800usb module

29

What does blacklisting mean novsan?

30

rt2800usb module can conflicts with rt2870sta module.
So, check - whether the rt2800usb is loaded into memory?

lsmod | grep rt2800usb
31

blacklisting - method to not load unwanted modules automatically

32

novsan, do I load the module from the driver directory? Or it dont matter?

Cause when I want to load from that directory it cant find the file.
But I can c it in the list ‘ls /net/drivers/wireless’

33

You have very interesting filesystem.
Did you mean /lib/modules/2.6.*/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ ?
And do you have rt2800usb module loaded into memory?

lsmod | grep rt2800usb
34

Yes, rt2800usb is running.

Yes, I mean /lib/modules/2.6.*/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/. :stuck_out_tongue:

35

I have rt2x00usb also running in kernel. Blacklist?

36

ok, let’s try again:

  1. remove rt2870sta module from memory (as root):
rmmod rt2870sta

remove and blacklist rt2800usb and rt2x00usb modules:

rmmod rt2800usb
echo "blacklist rt2800usb" >> /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf
rmmod rt2x00usb
echo "blacklist rt2x00usb" >> /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf
  1. try to load rt2870sta module:
modprobe rt2870sta
  1. check interfaces with wireless extentions:
iwconfig

if last command doesn’t show interface with wireless extentions, try:

ifconfig ra0 up
iwconfig
37

ra0 is unknown interface - No such device.

38

What is the output of iwconfig command?
maybe

ifconfig ral0 up

?

39

No,
Output =
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
