bushtech_can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong here: ubuntuserver# modprobe 4.4.0-83-generic10:13
bushtech_modprobe: FATAL: Module 4.4.0-83-generic not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-83-generic10:13
superflythanks inetpro, paddatrapper15:26
superflybushtech_: you're doing a modprobe on a kernel version not a kernel module15:26
bushtech_thanks superfly. I obvously have no idea what I 'm doing lol15:28
superflybushtech_: well, what are you trying to do?15:28
bushtech_reinstall that 4.4.0-83-generic whatchamacallit15:29
bushtech_I was following some instruction on internet to try and fix wifi and think it blaclisted something as wifi now not even visible in network manager15:32
bushtech_superfly: oh and btw Happy Birthday I see15:34
superflythanks.15:37
superflyso 4.4.0-83-generic is a kernel version. if you're looking to fix a driver (aka kernel module), then you need to know what the kernel module name is15:37
bushtech_lsmod?15:39
bushtech_iwlwifi?15:40
bushtech_hmmm. modprobe iwlwifi didn't fix it15:42
bushtech_this is what I tried that ended up breaking it: https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes15:47
bushtech_Eish! wish I hadn't missed this:Devices that use dual antennas are known not to work well. This appears to be an issue in the upstream Realtek driver.15:50
paddatrapperbushtech_: what wifi adaptors is it? (model number) 16:27
bushtech_paddatrapper: not sure how to anser that: RTL 8192CE  ?16:30
paddatrapperbushtech_: that looks like a model number. Have you tried the non-free realtek drivers? 16:31
* paddatrapper will be back around 916:31
paddatrapperAnd will be able to get the exact package name then16:31
bushtech_paddatrapper: it used to work and the just stopped one day16:31
paddatrapperHmm... Ok that's odd16:33
