<0> thanks
<0> but is the ./configure always followed by "make , make install" ? sorry for this dummy question, just start learning linux
<1> configure is a script
<0> yep
<1> it verfies that you have all packages (dependencies) needed,
<1> and then, based on the data it gathered off your computer,
<1> it writes a little file
<1> containing directions for the "make" program how to compile the actual code
<1> so yes, configure is the "prep" procedure for the real compilation, done by make
<1> make install, in its turn
<1> usually direct make to exec a set of cp/mv/chmod/chown commands
<1> thats ment to spread the already-compiled and ready to use files across your system,
<1> so that other application will find them
<1> and so you could use your application successfully.
<0> thanks dweller_
<1> np
<0> just a clarification here, after ./configure there's no error or any sort of error at all.. but why is it when I run "make" it doesn't do any? what the usuall case on it?
<2> ...
<2> ./configure
<2> make
<2> make install
<1> define doesnt do any(thing?)
<0> hmm.. it just says "no specified target" or something like that.. forgot the whole thing since my linux box is at home
<3> hmm.. it just says jbalck is an insecure internet fool
<4> nickki u have to be inside that folder
<4> where u kept the source code
<4> if u are outside that and u run make it will give u that error
<0> yep, was there.. didn't switch to a different directory after ./configure.. anyways, thanks guys. you've been a good help
<5> im hungry
<3> biscuts n gravy hrmm
<3> jblack n bacon hrmm
<0> bacon with cheese!
<3> heh
<3> how this fat **** controls this chan i'll never know.
<0> not sure if anyone has an idea on this.. :) if i'll just park my
<0> nick here in irc thru screen for one month, what would be the
<0> average traffic it would create? less than 1gig?
<3> thank you for the funky time, then nikki started to grind
<0> lol
<6> >Dummy Mode ON<

<7> ok, so I got Ndis, and ran it on thewindows drivers for that broadcomm wireless NIC, and it seems to have worked. How do I tell the NIC to stop using the old driver, and start using the new one?
<8> you're using ndiswrapper instead of a native driver?
<6> DaTa-MaN: I told you, you don't need ndiswrapper.
<8> I didn't know they have native broadcom drivers
<7> poutine: yes
<6> your card works out of the box in ubuntu.
<8> DaTa-MaN, that's silly
<8> Al-Ashtar, quit that
<7> I'm following instructions from a friend who knows a lot more about Linux then I do
<8> the solution to every problem is not: install ubuntu
<6> poutine: shut up.
<6> poutine: he has ubuntu already you moron
<8> you'd think you woul dhave learned something by now
<7> Then can you tell me what the problem is... and how to solve it?
<7> Everything seems to be in place... the harware is present, the driver is present, the wep key in entered coreectly, all the paramerters are set... yet the NIC refuses to activate
<6> DaTa-MaN: I told you how to solve the wireless LED problem. and p3nguin told you how to connect to the wireless AP.
<7> I don't care about the LED, and I tried what p3nguin said (to the best of my understanding). It didn't work
<6> what is there not to understand ?
<7> So I just reread everything p3nguin said... he's telling me how to set the parameters of the card manually. But they are already correctly set.
<6> sudo iwconfig eth2 essid ESSID_NAME
<6> sudo iwconfig eth2 key blahblahblah
<9> DaTa-MaN: did you do an ifconfig ra0 up (or whatever its name is) on the card?
<9> DaTa-MaN: that generally brings the card online
<6> sudo ifconfig eth2 up
<6> sudo dhclient eth2
<6> done.
<9> yeah
<9> DaTa-MaN: what will you be doing once you got wireless? use the laptop in the bathroom ?
<9> hi all, btw
<6> if that doesn't work out, just 'sudo apt-get install NetworkManager' and use the interface (which comes by default in Ubuntu)
<6> hi Tim
<7> Enchanter_tim: I hate wireless! i'm doing this for s friend
<9> DaTa-MaN: heh, ok :)
<9> DaTa-MaN: did that work?
<7> Al-Ashtar: i've already done BOTH of those things neither one works
<7> Enchanter_tim: no... it didn't
<7> dhclient just says "network down"
<7> Iwconfig still shows eth1 as "inactive"
<9> DaTa-MaN: have you set the mode?
<9> ad-hoc or managed?
<9> and have you set the frequency ?
<7> The mode is set to managed
<7> The channel is set ot 6
<9> ok, so thats ok
<7> the wep Key is entered correctly
<9> have you done a iwconfig eth2 commit ?
<9> some cards dont apply settings directly
<7> no.. I haven't. i'll try that
<9> it shouldnt be needed, but then again, it looks like something doesnt work as expected
<9> iwconfig eth2 ap any to let it search the ap itself
<7> error for wireless request "commit changes" (8B00): SET failed on device eth1. Operation not permitted
<9> was it eth1?
<9> i thought you said eth2
<7> yes, it is eth1
<9> ah, ok
<7> but it will NOT activate
<7> why???
<9> weird.
<9> if you do ifconfig eth1 up, do you get any errors?
<9> (for example in dmesg?)
<7> yep... dmesg says "bcm43xx: Error: Microcode 'bcm43xx_microcode5.fw' not available or load failed"
<0> macosx!
<0> lol
<10> eh?
<7> What does that error mean exactly?
<7> How can I back up a driver? I want to try uninstalling the old drivers, and installing the Ndis drivers to see if it will work.
<9> DaTa-MaN: try a iwlist eth1 scan ?
<7> Enchanter_tim: no... I'll try it
<9> DaTa-MaN: btw: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=223729
<7> Enchanter_tim: eth1: interface doesn't support scanning : no such device. (i'm guessing it can't scan if it' snot active)
<9> DaTa-MaN: yeah
<9> something like that
<7> I already read that thread.... it didn't help
<9> that would enable ndiswrapper
<7> right... which is what gave the idea to back my old drivers first
<7> cause what if it goes wrong?
<9> oh, check http://dossy.org/archives/000110.html comment 15
<9> and 16 as well :)
<9> hrm.. and i have to leave now.
<9> good luck
<9> bbiab
<7> Thanks Enchanter_tim
<7> trying the NDIS route
<7> now that have the ndiswrapper installed, lshw shows eth1 as "unclaimed"
<11> long time for mim since ndiswrapper
<11> ndiswrapper -l
<11> shows what?
<7> curso "bcmwl5: driver present, hardware present"
<7> but "lshw -C network" shows that eth1 is unclaimed... it has no driver
<7> how do I tell it which driver to use?
<6> DaTa-MaN: I'm not gonna repeat myself for the third time.
<6> google for (your computer module ubuntu)
<12> hi
<1> hi
<12> any one help me ?
<13> how can i install Software on Linx Red Hat 9
<6> man yum
<1> either that or you can download it
<13> i have
<7> Al-Ashtar: well so far Google isn't a whole lot of help... considering that I've found atleast 5 completely differnt explainastions of how to fix the problem, and each one lack just enough detail to make a newb like me fail.
<13> i have download mozilla
<6> 2 ways to install software in rh9. using a binary RPM file and installing it using the 'rpm' command, or compiling it yourself from source.
<7> Al-Ashtar: And I've already tried almost all of them
<13> hmm Thanx
<6> DaTa-MaN: type 'lspci | grep Wireless'
