    Mint 11 LXDE LISTing

    Hi,

    Output from Mint 11 LXDE flash install:
    Code:
    a23@abc ~ $ sudo iwconfig 
    [sudo] password for ren:  
    lo        no wireless extensions. 
     
    eth0      no wireless extensions. 
     
    wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:off/any   
              Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=off    
              Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off 
              Encryption key:off 
              Power Management:off 
               
    a23@abc ~ $
    Same hardware settings, different OS.
    Why can't Knoppix detect wlan0?

    No idea anymore; but you can still try
    Code:
    hwinfo --wlan

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

    Thanks Werner!

    What's about
    Driver Status: ssb is not active
    Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe ssb"

    hwinfo --wlan, not -wlan

    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.

    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"
    In my case I need the wl driver, and here we see it's activated,
    while ssb is neither used nor needed.

    b43 and ssb on Blacklist

    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:
    # 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
    Thanks for replying to my thread.
    luther
    PS. Good point to take a breather.

    Cmd: modprobe ssb Issued

    Hi,
    No screen dialog was observed, other than:
    Code:
    knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo modprobe ssb
    knoppix@Microknoppix:~$
    I need an interpreter to utu's tip:

    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"
    No difference:

    Code:
      knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo iwconfig
    lo        no wireless extensions.
    
    eth0      no wireless extensions.
    
    knoppix@Microknoppix:~$

    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.
