How do I create a .conf file?

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 29100 / 1 Year ago, sat, february 4, 2023, 7:54:34

On start up I get this message:

Support for cores revision ox17 and ox18 disabled by module param allsupport=0. Try b43.allhwsupport=1

I found an answer which stated I needed to create the file /etc/modprobe.d/local-b43.conf

I don't know how to do this. At the moment it will boot the system without the Network Manager which I can then manually switch on by typing:

   gksu service network-manager start

I don't think your system in helped by having both Network Manager and Wicd competing for control. I recommend you remove Wicd. Let's create the .conf file. In a terminal:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/local-b43.conf

Use nano or kate or leafpad if you haven't the text editor gedit. Add a single line:

options b43 allhwsupport=1

Proofread carefully, save and close the text editor. Reboot.

If it still doesn't work as expected, from the terminal:

sudo -i

rm /etc/modprobe.d/local-b43.conf

echo "blacklist b43"  >>  /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

echo "blacklist ssb"  >>  /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

exit

Reboot and tell us the result.

Your /etc/network/interfaces asks eth0 to start automatically, however, you are using wireless. Please do:

gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces

Change the file to comment out the eth0 stanza:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback



#auto eth0

#iface eth0 inet dhcp

Proofread carefully, save and close the text editor. Reboot and test.
