< Blue-Slacker> my wireless not work in slackware , are there any body to help me to repair it
< brainvision> have you got a network manager installed?
< brainvision> Blue-Slacker: ?
< Blue-Slacker> brainvision: yes , ican access other device as eyh0 but i can not use wireless
< brainvision> what network mamanger do you use?
< Blue-Slacker> brainvision: wicd
< brainvision> Blue-Slacker: but it's the first time you are using it?
< brainvision> or it used to work until now or until yesterday..
< Blue-Slacker> brainvision: yes $ first use slackware
< Blue-Slacker> brainvision: yes & first use slackware
< brainvision> so I think you wireless is not recognized by slackware..
< brainvision> what kind of kernel are you using?
< Blue-Slacker> brainvision: 2.6.32.7-smp
< brainvision> are you with the current?
< Blue-Slacker> brainvision: yes
< brainvision> uname -r what it says to you?
< brainvision> maybe you are using the generic kernel
< brainvision> I think you should try the huge one..
< brainvision> Blue-Slacker:
< brainvision> Blue-Slacker: ??
< Blue-Slacker> brainvision: I need to wireless but i can not accsees it & love slackware very & and i dont have dsl internet - what do now
< brainvision> uname -r
< brainvision> tell me the output please
< brainvision> :)
< brainvision> and try to follow me..
* TheGroove sits back to enjoy the show
< brainvision> I'm trying to help you.. :)
< sahk0> brainvision: what would switching to huge change?
< Blue-Slacker> brainvision: 2.6.32.7-smp
< Blue-Slacker> brainvision: oh .tnx
< brainvision> sahk0: maybe the generic has got no support for his chipset..
< brainvision> sahk0: no?
< brainvision> Blue-Slacker: but do you know if you are using the generic or the huge kernel?
< brainvision> sahk0: am I wrong?
< Blue-Slacker> brainvision: how i can found it
< brainvision> :)
< brainvision> you don't know what kernel are you using?
< brainvision> ok
< TheGroove> Geez. 1) find out what chipset you have 2) find out if your current kernel supports it 3) if it does, check if the driver is loaded already. If it doesn't, find an alternative driver or cry because Dell shipped your machine with an incompatible wireless card.
< Blue-Slacker> brainvision: but when i want to install slackware i pressed inter to load kernel
< brainvision> I pressed inter?
< Blue-Slacker> brainvision: it said me to load defualt kernel press inter or f2
< brainvision> ok Blue-Slacker TheGroove has gived you a better solution..
< brainvision> if you know how to do it..
< TheGroove> If it's mini-pci, do lspci -v
< TheGroove> That will list all PCI devices in your machine.
< brainvision> Blue-Slacker: as root
< TheGroove> This is taking too long.
