PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS ERROR TRAPPED BY FLASH INSTALL:
"Ignoring unknown interface =."http://knoppix.net/forum/images/misc/pencil.png
Hi,
Output from Mint 11 LXDE flash install:
Same hardware settings, different OS.Code:a23@abc ~ $ sudo iwconfig
[sudo] password for ren:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

a23@abc ~ $
Why can't Knoppix detect wlan0?
THX

PS. posted w/Mint
:confused:
No idea anymore; but you can still tryCode:hwinfo --wlan
Dear Werner:
Hopefully the last resort does the trick:
The latest clue:Code:knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo hwinfo -wlan

knoppix@Microknoppix:~$
Yet Synaptic Package Manager reports b43 installed!Code:knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo modprobe b43
FATAL: Module b43 not found.
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$
Where is it hidden (screen6.jpg)?
Thanks Werner!

What's aboutQuote:
Driver Status: ssb is not active
Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe ssb"
Greetings, Werner & luther.
FWIW, on my machine with 6.7.1, hwinfo -wlan gives strange,
unuseful results relative to hwinfo --wlan.
On my machine, with 6.7.1, I get the following, which I do
find useful.
In my case I need the wl driver, and here we see it's activated,Code:knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo hwinfo --wlan | grep -i driver
Driver: "wl"
Driver Modules: "wl"
Driver Info #0:
Driver Status: ssb is not active
Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe ssb"
Driver Info #1:
Driver Status: wl is active
Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe wl"
while ssb is neither used nor needed.
Dear Werner and utu:
So I do a MC of b43 (Mint tried & true) and
use ssb? What is the logic? I would like to see
something in Synaptic Package Manager, etc.,
about ssb status?
file: "/etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-common.conf" blacklist's
BOTH b43 and ssb:
Thanks for replying to my thread.Quote:
# wl module from Broadcom conflicts with ssb
# We must blacklist the following modules:
blacklist b44
blacklist b43legacy
blacklist b43
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist brcmsmac
blacklist ssb
install wl /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install wl $CMDLINE_OPTS

PS. Good point to take a breather.
:)
Hi,
No screen dialog was observed, other than:
I need an interpreter to utu's tip:Code:knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo modprobe ssb
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$
No difference:Code:knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo hwinfo --wlan | grep -i driv
info.linux.driver = 'b43-pci-bridge'
E: DRIVER=b43-pci-bridge
Driver Info #1:
Driver: "b43-pci-bridge"
Driver Modules: "ssb"
Driver Info #0:
Driver Status: ssb is active
Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe ssb"
lutherCode:knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$
PS. Going on Holiday!
I think the 4318 is a special case that uses b43 not wl as the driver.
For one person's solution, see post #13 at :
http://knoppix.net/forum/threads/286...highlight=4318
In luther's case he should probably blacklist wl & ssb.
It would be good to know for your Mint 11 install what lsmod tells us about which drivers work there.
Dear utu:
