The above is from running "lspci -vv".
I believe I have the right driver, but I have no connection.
what's more - wpa-hu doesn't show anyythng, not even the card.
What am I missing?
Thank you. |

i'm not aware of wpa-hu, and `e-file wpa-hu` didn't return any results - what package provides it? Or is that a typo, and you meant to write `wpa_gui`?
Anyway, what's the output of `ip a`?

Hi,
Yes, sorry - that was a typo and should have been wpa_gui.
Now here are the results requested:

dmesg - Your paste can be seen here: http://dpaste.com/FFZ5MHCPS
Thank you.
P.S.: I don't understannd this. lspci shows driver is in use, but dmesg does not show anything in regards to the wireless card... |

The page https://wireless.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/en/users/drivers/b43.html shows 14e4:4315 as supported
Your kernel config should have CONFIG_B43=m and all supporting B43 options (beside broken or debug) as enabled. This can be tested in the running kernel by running: modprobe --first-time b43 (Note that modprobe outputs nothing on success)
You will also need sys-firmware/b43-firmware installed before b43 driver will work. |

Hi,
I do have a firmware installed:
| Code: | IgorsGentoo /usr/src/linux # emerge -pv b43-firmware
* Last emerge --sync was 2y 293d 2h 8m 59s ago.
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] sys-firmware/b43-firmware-5.100.138:b43::gentoo 0 KiB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
* IMPORTANT: 20 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news read to view new items.
IgorsGentoo /usr/src/linux #
|
Trying to load the driver I get:
| Code: |
IgorsGentoo /usr/src/linux # modprobe --first-time b43
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'b43': Exec format error
IgorsGentoo /usr/src/linux #
|
However, surprisingly enough, get:
| Code: |
IgorsGentoo /usr/src/linux # cat .config | grep b43
IgorsGentoo /usr/src/linux #
|
It looks like something is not completely installed...
Thank you.
P.S.: I knnow that the tree is old. The card didn't work since the machine got the Gentoo, which was almost 6-7 years ago and was always on the wired connection. However, I recently switched providers and thought about making this machine work with WiFi as well...
P.P.S.: The full kernel config can be found here: https://dpaste.com/5LM3SLBWA |
