NO you don't!

The driver intel8x0 is NOT, in no case, relevant for the Realtek ALC882!

I am shure for, lets say 99%

Remove SND_HDA_INTEL and modprobe intel8x0! No sound.
Remove it or not.. I can not find a difference.

I'm having no such luck sadly...

It's the built in RTL8187 card on the USB bus, built in to an ASUS P5W DH Deluxe motherboard. It shows up no new network interface at all. Kernel is 2.6.23-gentoo, and it's amd64.

Here is the dmesg output:

wmaster0: Failed to select rate control algorithm
wmaster0: Failed to initialize rate control algorithm
rtl8187: Cannot register device
rtl8187: probe of 1-7.3:1.0 failed with error -2
usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8187


Did anyone ever work out a definite way to fix this problem? I'm not using an ASUS but I'm getting the same error on my USB wifi card.

No progress here, I've played around but given up for now. Hopefully a new release will change something...

Could you post your lsusb -v output to see if we even have the same card?

I doubt we have the same card but they are both using the rtl 8187 chipset and are giving the same error so if you can fix one it will hopefully fix the other.

I'll post the lsusb next time I turn on the machine with that card on it.

My problem is that all other 2 SATA disk are invisible also for command fdisk-l . 8O
Probably I've wrong some kernel gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r8's configuration. I've tried various solutions, but all without success. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Does anyone can help me?

Yours is /completely/ identical other than the serial number, yet works for you.

I'll give your kernel config a try later on and see if that helps.

AHCI enabled in Kernel? Jmicron driver enabled in the kernel?
IDE mode set to AHCI in the BIOS?

<*> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers --->
<*> AHCI SATA support
<*> JMicron PATA support (for the PATA ports of the jmicron)

I actually can't tell you if this works, cause all my disks are connected to the ICH7 ports.
Only one CD-ROM is connected to the parallel port of the jmicron. Never tested the eSATA/SATA port...

Hope I could help.

Okay, here is an example of the working driver:

 *   Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...

and here a screenshot from wpa_gui showing wlan0 (the RTL8187)

Just to proof that it is working.

And here's my kernelkonfig (vanilla-2.6.23):

Here's my conf.d/net:
Code:
#############################################################################################

config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_wlan0="-R -G"
#############################################################################################


and here my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant_RTL8187.conf
Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
update_config=1

network={
        ssid="StarLanWPA"
        psk="SecretPass"
        proto=RSN
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=CCMP
}

I do agree with you about the modprobe intel8x0. I already corrected that in one of my previous posts.
Where I do not agree is the SND_HDA_INTEL. First lspci shows:
Code:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
For this chip we could use the SND_HDA_INTEL module. Secondly the Realtek ACL882 is the codec that works together with the ICH7. We have both ICH7 (sound card) and ACL882 (codec chip) on our motherboards. We can choose to use either AC97 or HDA_intel. With my setup I am using INTEL HDA. My lsmod (relevant modules only) for proof:
Code:
# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
snd_seq_oss            30464  0
snd_seq_midi_event      7040  1 snd_seq_oss

snd_seq_device          7308  2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq
snd_pcm_oss            37152  0

snd_page_alloc          8712  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm
And yes, I am still happy. Listing to 6channel audio with a main PCM volume while I write this :-)

Alsa mixer as I have it:

Jupp I knwon.

Just a littel question: Does your line-in work?

My alsamixer looks like this (had to tak a screenie, cause it wouldn't fitt in the textbox, the whole one):

All settings are wired cause I tried to get Line-In working.

Code:
options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1


But there are millions of post regarding snd-hda-intel ... so who kows... actually I just hope the X-FI gets working drivers sometime so I can drop that ugly OBS

It's the built in RTL8187 card on the USB bus, built in to an ASUS P5W DH Deluxe motherboard. It shows up no new network interface at all. Kernel is 2.6.23-gentoo, and it's amd64.

Here is the dmesg output:

wmaster0: Failed to select rate control algorithm
wmaster0: Failed to initialize rate control algorithm
rtl8187: Cannot register device
rtl8187: probe of 1-7.3:1.0 failed with error -2
usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8187


Did anyone ever work out a definite way to fix this problem? I'm not using an ASUS but I'm getting the same error on my USB wifi card.


I fixed this, the kernel I'd built didn't have auto-module load turned on (it is off by default) so some modules were being loaded and some not (we don't know why some were). After a rebuild and reboot all is now working.

Could you tell me what modules you do have running? I have auto module learning turned on anyway, plus I've modprobed anything new since the addition of the rtl8187 driver.

Next time I turn on the laptop I'll get a dump and let you know. If you don't get anything soon PM me to remind me.

Hey i_bratch, like I said earlier in this thread, I somehow got the 8187 to work, after I had the same error like you before. And now that I compared my .config with an older one I found, I think the only other option I activated was CONFIG_INET_XFRM_MODE_TRANSPORT=y a.k.a IP: IPSec transport mode, maybe you try it!
Otherwise I really have no clue what did the trick for me...

Good news - I got it working.

I changed all the wireless stuff and the driver itself from modules to built in, and the interface came up straight away when I rebooted.

Thanks for your help everyone that tried.

just out of interest, do you have module auto loading turned on in the kernel? grep for CONFIG_KMOD to see (I think)

It's turned off again now, but I did turn it on for testing whilst I was trying to get rtl8187 working as a module.

I don't know if this bug is fixed with the mentioned patch above... I can't try right now.
Comment:
I have reported a bug here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8923
Thans shiver! He suggested this in my other post: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-536306-highlight-ata2.html
Does anyone have it working without this workaround?

Has anybody had any issues with fancontrol since 2.6.23 with this board?

I used to control the speed with fancontrol, but since the upgrade pwmconfig reports:
Quote:
/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed

sensors still gives the same output:

AVCC: +3.36 V (min = +2.00 V, max = +4.06 V)
3VCC: +3.36 V (min = +3.06 V, max = +0.99 V) ALARM

CPU Fan: 1767 RPM (min = 1344 RPM, div = 4)
Aux Fan: 3040 RPM (min = 2667 RPM, div = 2)
fan4: 992 RPM (min = 378 RPM, div = 16)
fan5: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 128)
Sys Temp: +47 C (high = -33 C, hyst = -5 C) ALARM
CPU Temp: +39.5 C (high = +80.0 C, hyst = +75.0 C)
AUX Temp: +117.5 C (high = +80.0 C, hyst = +75.0 C) ALARM

So evidently the sensors are still detected and working.

Any suggestions?

Edit:

Sorry, I fixed this. Updated lm_sensors to 2.10.4 as per the lm_sensors website which got pwmconfig working (and gives far more output in sensors!).
