Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions. Nothing solving the problem so far.
I meant
find /lib/modules -name "b43.ko"
What is the point of looking for b43.ko? It exists for my running kernel.
I believe b43.ko from compat-wireless should be put in some specific
subdirectory, probably "extra". AFAIR it's
/lib/modules/SOMEKERNEL/extra/...
If you can see only default b43.ko, it means compat-wireless didn't
install successfully.
Thanks for your reply.
You are absolutely right. My Mandriva kernel's name is
3.1.2-1.1-desktop but the compat-wireless "make install" is installing
everything in the directory /lib/modules/3.1.2-1-desktop/updates. The
path is missing the ".1" before the "-desktop".
I'm not sure why this is happening. I am running a Mandriva kernel from
"Cooker" (running Mandriva 2011, which comes with 2.6.38.x, but the
Macbook Pro 8,2 DVD isn't recognized until the 3.1 kernel. I also
compiled my own 3.2-rc3 kernel but then I can't get fglrx to work properly.
The joys of Macs and Linux..
But getting back to b43. How can I instruct "make install" to put the
drivers in the correct path? I'm going to try to just copy everything
to the correct place and run depmod and see what happens. Maybe
that'll work??
