 |
|
Hello,
I have a Qualcom Atheros AR9485 wifi card in my Asus x55A laptop.
What kernel modules do i need for my wireless lan to work ?
I already installed the ath9+ atheros qualcom drivers. I'm already searching for days, but wifi just won't work.
But it must be possible, cause with systemrescue cd it works.
menuconfig is so big. How can i find that one (those) driver(s) i'm missing?

It is hard to say which kernel module is used for the wifi adapter.
I think it is the module
It is better to use lspci -v on console. |

ok i have the ath9k
but can't find the mei_me any idea where it is in the menu?
btw is there a kind of debugger that i can activate to see more of this problem ?
I found on google that a .pid file is juste a file with a number to a pid process that is running. Maybe there would be a file if it started.
i guess the process/daemon hasn't started yet.
Were can i find what the process is missing?
Isthere a difference between kernel modules and modules loaded afterwards. |

"/" in the menuconfig interface opens the search functionality; "mei" returns this:
| Code: | Symbol: INTEL_MEI [=y] │
│ Type : tristate │
│ Prompt: Intel Management Engine Interface │
│ Location: │
│ -> Device Drivers │
│ (1) -> Misc devices │
│ Defined at drivers/misc/mei/Kconfig:1 │
│ Depends on: X86 [=y] && PCI [=y] && WATCHDOG_CORE [=y]
[...]
|
It's under Device Drivers > Misc devices, but needs watchdog_core to be set (see the "Depends on" section). |

I replied u there https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1024164.html
that u miss probably Networking support -> Networking options -> packet socket (CONFIG_PACKET)
and maybe some general network stuff also( just if u see "If unsure, say Y.", do it)
And btw u dont need rfkill, watchdogs and mei to get network.
