Re: [arch-general] wireless driver broadcom b43 random success or failure
From the wiki page: "Each configuration file is named in the style of /etc/modules-load.d/.conf. Configuration files simply contain a list of kernel modules names to load, separated by newlines." Why was the file 'b43.conf' containing only: b43 incorrect? Is not 'b43' the name of the kernel module?

Mauro Santos Sun, 10 Apr 2016 11:29:06 -0700 You may want to refer to this page for guidance https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_modules#Automatic_module_handling Thanks. Created a 'conf' file (root user): cat > /etc/modprobe.d/b43.conf modprobe b43 Then restarted computer. The module failed to load. On attempting the usual command, a new error occurred: modprobe b43 libkmod: kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/b43.conf line 1: ignoring bad line starting with 'modprobe' So, deleted the 'b43.conf' file and loaded the module manually again.

[arch-general] mobile phone internet access
Readers, Having read the web page 'android tethering', I write praying that a novice user is _not_ expected to have root access to a mobile phone, openvpn, android sdk etc. etc.! Currently using an old RPM distribution on another portable computer, internet access via an android mobile phone and usb cable is achieved by simple insertion of the usb cable into the computer! Mobile tethering is activated on the phone and voila!, a dialogue window appears confirming internet access. Could someone please indicate: is this possible in arch linux? Anyway, on the other old(er) computer running arch linux, wicd was installed, but fails to recognise mobile phone internet access either via usb connection (tether mode) or wireless hotspot activation.

[arch-general] wireless tools installation without internet access
Readers, An old portable computer has been installed with archlinux via a CD and was used successfully with ethernet cable internet connection. Now, cable connection is no longer available and it became necessary that various wireless software was not installed. Firmware (ipw2100 for intel wireless pro) was copied from usb memory to a /usr/local/ directory. After trying the command 'make', an error was reported that some wireless software (ieee802 I think?). Are there a set of wireless functionality tools that can be downloaded to a usb flash memory device, then installed onto this old computer?

Could you try resetting the password for user a? You could do this (as root) with: passwd a And then try again to login to a tty. This was successful thanks, but the dvorak keyboard layout is not recognised at the graphical sign-in prompt. The layout is recognised when a command terminal is opened within the graphical user session. Just to be sure: you do realise that the password shown in /etc/shadow is the encrypted password and not the literal string to type in? (no offence). Using 'less' to access the file, the password is visible as literal text.
