| Jez | Hello. | 22:14 |
| Jez | Having fun trying to compile drivers. Auto-apt has not been very helpful so far. | 22:16 |
| Jez | It cannot seem to actually install the packages it finds. | 22:17 |
| Unit193 | Not sure the program does what you think it does, but have you checked software-properties-gtk for "Additional Drivers"? What card do you have? | 22:18 |
| Jez | The on board wireless card is Broadcom 4011. | 22:23 |
| Jez | I haven't looked at the Sound Card yet. | 22:23 |
| Unit193 | Not seen the 4011 at all, mostly been 43xx ones. You have the kernel headers, you'll at least need those. | 22:26 |
| kristian-aalborg | cheers | 22:28 |
| kristian-aalborg | holstein, hi | 22:28 |
| kristian-aalborg | I've been away from messing around with Ubuntu that I can't remember how to check if a piece of hardware is supported by a given version | 22:28 |
| Unit193 | Depends on the hardware, but I generally find google helpful. That will normally link to askubuntu or a forum post. | 22:30 |
| Unit193 | !friendly | 22:30 |
| Unit193 | Bah... | 22:30 |
| Unit193 | http://friendly.ubuntu.com, anyway... | 22:31 |
| Jez | Sorry, double checking my PCI list. | 22:33 |
| Jez | I'll check that out, thank you. Having looked at the list, it's a 4311, not 4011. Doh. | 22:34 |
| Jez | Got the wl driver tarball from the broadcom website, unwrapped it, but can't make the makefile because I don't have the asm/system.h file. | 22:35 |
| Jez | I understand auto-apt finds the packages it's and I thought it could install one of them. | 22:35 |
| Jez | But that seems to an incorrect think. Anyway, I shall check that link. | 22:36 |
| kristian-aalborg | hi Unit193 | 22:39 |
| kristian-aalborg | it's the infamous Atom N2600/GMA3600 Cedarview chip | 22:39 |
| Unit193 | !bcm | Jez Not too hard, normally. | 22:40 |
| ubot93 | Jez Not too hard, normally.: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 22:40 |
| Unit193 | I have one of those. | 22:40 |
| Jez | Is there a way to run the make command using the GUI? | 22:45 |
| Jez | The Terminal cannot resolve the wget command for the driver tarball on launchpad. :( | 22:46 |
| Unit193 | Just install firmware-b43-installer ? | 22:46 |
| Jez | Did that, mounted it and it didn't seem to work. Then I listed my cards in the network tool, I think it was. | 22:46 |
| Jez | And it said it used the wl driver. | 22:47 |
| Jez | Which is what I've been trying to compile all weekend and running to the missing header file problem. | 22:47 |
| Jez | I'm using an external Asus RT2500 instead, but the signal keeps dropping. So I have to disable it and then turn it back to reconnect. | 22:56 |
| Jez | Which is annoying. | 22:56 |
| Jez_ | Like that. | 23:02 |
| Jez__ | Good night folks. | 23:11 |
