Thanks for your quick replies. I have install compat-wireless-2010-12-23 with 'driver-select carl9170' because the whole thing didn't want to compile for me, the usb wifi card is working fine now with the carl9170 but now my internal intel card isn't coming up, if tried to load the iwlagn or iwlcore driver and get the following: FATAL: Error inserting iwlagn (/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlagn.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) dmesg outputs the following: 7.368050] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe [ 7.368053] iwlcore: Unknown symbol ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe [ 7.368292] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_alloc_hw [ 7.368293] iwlcore: Unknown symbol ieee80211_alloc_hw [ 7.368356] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_register_hw [ 7.368358] iwlcore: Unknown symbol ieee80211_register_hw [ 7.368537] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol __ieee80211_get_radio_led_name [ 7.368539] iwlcore: Unknown symbol __ieee80211_get_radio_led_name [ 7.368602] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_wake_queue [ 7.368604] iwlcore: Unknown symbol ieee80211_wake_queue [ 7.368657] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_get_tkip_key [ 7.368658] iwlcore: Unknown symbol ieee80211_get_tkip_key [ 7.368713] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol __ieee80211_get_tx_led_name [ 7.368714] iwlcore: Unknown symbol __ieee80211_get_tx_led_name [ 7.368791] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_find_sta [ 7.368793] iwlcore: Unknown symbol ieee80211_find_sta [ 7.368876] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe [ 7.368877] iwlcore: Unknown symbol ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe [ 7.368992] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol __ieee80211_get_rx_led_name [ 7.368994] iwlcore: Unknown symbol __ieee80211_get_rx_led_name [ 7.369100] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe [ 7.369102] iwlcore: Unknown symbol ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe [ 7.369245] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_rx [ 7.369246] iwlcore: Unknown symbol ieee80211_rx [ 7.369308] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_wake_queues [ 7.369310] iwlcore: Unknown symbol ieee80211_wake_queues [ 7.369440] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_stop_queue [ 7.369442] iwlcore: Unknown symbol ieee80211_stop_queue [ 7.369494] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_stop_queues [ 7.369496] iwlcore: Unknown symbol ieee80211_stop_queues [ 7.369558] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol __ieee80211_get_assoc_led_name [ 7.369560] iwlcore: Unknown symbol __ieee80211_get_assoc_led_name [ 7.369617] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_scan_completed [ 7.369619] iwlcore: Unknown symbol ieee80211_scan_completed [ 7.369834] iwlcore: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_hdrlen [ 7.369835] iwlcore: Unknown symbol ieee80211_hdrlen [ 7.369928] iwlcore: Unknown symbol ieee80211_beacon_get Linux laptop 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Fri Dec 10 16:12:40 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux How can I make both cards work at the same time?

I am not sure if the squeeze kernel has support for carl9170. An easy way is to use compat-wireless (stable or bleeding edge) which offers you newer wireless hardware support and features. The wiki in [2] has informations and instructions for you. - Sedat - [1] http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Devices [2] http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/ On Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 2:05 PM, Walter Goldens <goldenstranger@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> Any ideas how can I make carl9170.fw work in debian >> squeeze? > > Download and install compat-wireless.
