http://askubuntu.com – My wireless doesn't work with Ubuntu 12.04.(it worked with 10.04 LTS) I have a Dell Inspiron 1501. I followed the steps posted below: Run these: sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source echo "blacklist brcmsmac" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf echo "blacklist bcma" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf The first makes sure that the sta driver is in place, the second and third blacklists the two drivers brcmsmac and bcma which clash with the correct sta driver. Copy/paste or make sure your typing is correct! The last s (HowTos)

I cannot seem to get the wl driver to load on boot.

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

Im trying to install the awus36h on BT5 R3, i will quote the command i have used:

Code: cd /tmp sudo cp /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_orig.conf echo "blacklist rtl8187" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_rtl8187.conf echo &qu

Fairly new install on my Macbookpro 6,2 laptop with Ubuntu 12.10 32bit(idk why I did 32 and not 64). My wireless would randomly drop internet (it would stay connected to my router, but lost internet connectivity). To fix this I tried using the b43 driver (sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter, and also I tried form the software center).

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.

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 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.

Hi

I realise that there is a thread about this and i am working my way through it, however i'll let you know where I'm at.

I have a machine with Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, i have the need for blacklisting a module, i have blacklisted it in blacklist.conf but nothing happened; i have solved my problem passing modprobe.blacklist=<module> as argument to the GRUB command line.

My question is: when and how modprobe operates ?
