|
|
Hi all, i can't get my wireless card to work, i try to follow this tuto to install my specific driver.
The problem is i can't do "rmmod ssb" to install the driver, ther error is : ERROR: Module ssb is in use by ohci_hcd
I managed to remove wl and b43, but not this ssb stuff...
any help would be appreciated.
thanks, good night. |

blacklist them (/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf), and reboot. then the module should no be loaded.

I've already tried it (couple of days i'm stuck with this fucking wireless).
This is what's in my blacklist.conf :
blacklist ssb
blacklist b43
And when i launch : lsmod | grep "b43\|ssb\|wl"
i get :
ssb 31824 1 ohci_hcd
mmc_core 40522 2 sdhci,ssb
pcmcia 23814 2 ssb,pata_pcmcia
seems that ssb is still loaded |

disable "config USB_OHCI_HCD_SSB" ("OHCI support for Broadcom SSB OHCI core")
in your .config. and you should be able to unload ssb.
(alternatively rmmod "ohci-hcd" first, but you'll lose some usb ports). |

I modified the entry and disabled it : CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD_SSB=n
Now, do i need to do special stuff to disable ssb ? Cause it's still impossible to rmmod ssb... |

if you don't want to do SSB at all, is there any reason not to simply remove it from your kernel configuration altogether?
CONFIG_SSB=n
CONFIG_B43=n
This is what you would generally want if you want to use the broadcom staging driver _________________ Lost configuring your system?

Allright, then do I need to recompile everything just for this option ? Or Is there any way to avoid recompiling everyting ? |

by "recompile everything" i assume you mean "if i rebuild my kernel, will it rebuild every single thing from scratch"
the answer is no.not unless you've run "make clean" for some reason.
make && make modules_install, copy your new bzImage to boot, and you're good to go _________________ Lost configuring your system?
