 |
|
Hope this is the right sub forum
I tried to get my WLAN working and in the process installed rt2x00 drivers and today i updated my nvidia driver.
Since today i unfortunately have the following problem. My CPu is always running at 100% (well 50 but it's a HT enabled one).
When i do top i identify modprobe as the hog, but when trying to kill it by kill 6269 and killlall modprobe i don't get anywhere.
Subsequently i did emerge -C rt2x00 and downgraded nvidia to the old version again but it didn't change anything.
I don't think i updated anything else so I'm a little irritated. How can i find out what module is stuck? I checked lsmod and it wasn't very enlightening except for this : rt2500pci
I installed that package first and unmerged it later on when i found out about rt2x00 but apparently it's still there. rmmod rt2500pci says the module is still in use.
I'm puzzled, please advise me |

check your ifconfig
your wireless interface is probably still up

Thanks but no.
| Code: |
#iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
|
I assume that does not mean it's on. And why should it get loaded? I uninstalled the driver and i never actually got iwconfig to work in the first place. |

i mean, run ifconfig
if eth0 shows, it is up/active/whatever you want to call it
get it down, and retry rmmod

sorry my bad
I was so caught up in wireless I just read iwconfig instead.
well ifconfig locks up the console and doesn't even react on ctrl+c
I guess that's bad  |
