Re: Lenny updates broke Broadcom 4328 wireless

I allowed it to do that. It was several (tens of) megabytes of stuff. Some time after that I rebooted the machine only to find wireless wasn't working anymore. Not under the 2.6.26-1, not under the newly installed 2.6.26-2 kernel. I followed the above instructions for the new kernel too and compiled the wireless driver - to no avail. Now I have no connectivity under any of the kernels. Does anybody have a clue as to which of the updates might be responsible for that? And will there be a new update available any time soon which will fix that? The funny thing is, iwconfig and iwlist commands can "see" my router, but there is still no connection to the internet or to other machines on my LAN, and the System/Settings/Network applet states it "doesn't recognize my system" and then offers me a list of distros to choose from. I select Debian Lenny, but that doesn't change anything: I still can't browse the internet or LAN or check for updates. What gives? -- Registered Linux User 481801 and proud of it Oops, my bad... After some more rmmodding and insmodding and modprobbing of the wl, ssb and ieee80211_tckip modules and finallly depmodding -a, the thingy started working again... at least till next update... Fingers crossed... ;) is the same laptop overheated some days ago? How did you solve your problem?

Re: Lenny overheating, preventing installation

It's a HP Compaq 6715b with an AMD Turion 64 and an ATI Radeon 1200. Needless to say, I have the BIOS option "Fan always ON when on AC power" set to enabled, but to no avail. Same happens if I set the option to off. Is there ANY way to install Lenny on such laptops? Does it happen with other laptops too? Any viable suggestions welcome! it could be a bug in the installer: did you tried to do as somebody suggested to you: step by step install? If you've tried with the 32-bit version you can try now using the version for amd 64 or try ubuntu :-) Luigi p.s. i have just installed in my mothers house an ibm T23 pemtium mobile 1gHz + 750 Mb lenny + apache + mysql + drupal + 3 web site - amule sharing (zeitgeist + krisnamurti) 24h :-) on an aliceadsl line - :-)) http://gongolo.dyndns.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
