http://www.backtrack-linux.org – Hello all! After trying everything I found in other threads here I can't get the correct graphics driver working. Everything I tried didn't lead to goal. I think the main problem is the nouveau kernel module which seems not to be able to uninstall or blacklist. Latest steps I tried: Code: #apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) #apt-get install build-essential #added following in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf   blacklist vga16fb   blacklist nouveau   blacklist rivafb   blacklist nvidiafb   rivatv #edited /boot/grub/grub.cfg   text sp (HowTos)

Hello.

OS Ubuntu 10.4

I have installed DWA driver as recomended there: http://http://sudosys.be/?q=D-Link_DWA_140_ubuntu Before that I was done Code: sudo rmmod rt2800usb rt2x00usb rt2x00lib sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf blacklist rt2800usb blacklist rt2x00usb blacklist rt2x00lib Now I have

Code: lsmod | grep rt rt2870sta            557965  0 and iw

Prerequisite

Download nvidia.com the latest driver for x86-x64 (64-bit linux) or x86 (32-bit linux)

# do a yum update to make sure you're on newest kernel release, better to not have to do this twice

Code: yum update #should be install kernel headers and devel

Code: yum -y install kernel-devel kernel-headers Terminal:

#make sure Open source nouveau driver is blacklisted f

Hi of course you can use the Suse NVIDIA repository but this does not provide the most recent driver. So here the HOWTO thanks to "Marius"

Step 1: Via Yast install gcc make kernel source

Step2: Download the nvidia driver from the nvidia website and move it to / (top root directory) makes life easier for operations further down

Hi,

wireless stopped working a while ago but now I need it again. I just upgraded the kernel to 3.6.2 (because of other issues). Up until a certain point I was able to connect on wired.

I realized that I had to blacklist the rt2800 because since installing Debian the internet is not working. 2 drivers are attempting the same device.

So I tried

Code: echo "blacklist rt2800usb" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf When I first executed the command I had permission denied. So I tried again. Only this time I executed su and put in my password.

My wireless doesn't work with Ubuntu 12.04.(it worked with 10.04 LTS) I have a Dell Inspiron 1501.

Got my cheap wireless adapter to work simply by doing this & nothing else.

Code:

$sudo pico /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

add the following lines: blacklist rt2x00usb blacklist rt2x00lib blacklist rt2800usb close and save.

Hello guys, first of all, im so sorry to create another topic regarding that card, but i can't see answers to my problem.
