Ok, funny thing, when I configure a computer for my use (work computer |
| 2 |
previously |
| 3 |
used by someone else) I always reformat, and go minimalist on what I |
| 4 |
need to make |
| 5 |
the system run smoothly, well as it turns out, at that time, I didn't |
| 6 |
have any USB devices, |
| 7 |
so guess what, I had turned USB support off in the BIOS. After several |
| 8 |
thousand |
| 9 |
resounding "Doh!" in a row, it will now modprobe uhci successfully. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
And I get heart-warming little messages like "detected new device" and |
| 12 |
such on |
| 13 |
my USB connection. Yay. It says the device was not claimed by any driver |
| 14 |
or some such |
| 15 |
thing, but it's a start. Alright, my new problem is, wlanctl-ng fails |
| 16 |
with the message: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
wlan: FAILED: /sbin/wlanctl-ng wl0 dot11req_start ssid= |
| 19 |

| 20 |

| 21 |
dschannel=6 basicrate1=2 basicrate2=4 operationalrate1=2 |
| 22 |
operationalrate2=4 operationalrate3=11 operationalrate4=22 |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
wlan: wlanctl-ng: No such device |
| 25 |
wlan: Failed to enable the device, exitcode= 1 . |
| 26 |
wlan: grep: /proc/net/p80211/wlan0/wlandev: No such file or directory |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Ok, the device is there for sure in /proc/bus/usb, so it's definetly |
| 29 |
seeing it now, but I'm not |
| 30 |
sure what "p80211" has to do with anything, any ideas? |

try cat /proc/pci | grep "USB" instead. The USB Controller(s) |
| 47 |
should be |
| 48 |
in there since they are PCI devices. You need to have a USB |
| 49 |
controller |
| 50 |
driver loaded to be able to use any USB device. Even though you can |
| 51 |
load |
| 52 |
the prism2_usb driver, I'm suspecting it won't work since there is |
| 53 |
no |
| 54 |
host controller driver driving it. What errors do you get when you |
| 55 |
tried |
| 56 |
to modprobe usb-uhci, uhci, and usb-ohci? |
