Re: [SLE] Disabling the acx_pci driver



Ok, things seem to be progressing fine now. I did find something usedul
on that link you sent me. :) I did an rmmod acx_pci, removed the
acx_pci.ko and ran depmod -a. After that, it quit
loading the acx100 driver.
I installed ndiswrapper from the suse 10 cds but it wouldn't load the
module that way for some reason. I downloaded the sources from
sourceforge and compiled it myself and now the card seems to be running
fine.
Thanks!

Yes, but I'm using kernel 2.6.13-15.8-default and that guide is for
2.6.14 and earlier. I tried to follow some of it's suggestions anyway
but the file structure is different than the way he describes it. I'm
still pretty green about recompiling modules. I suppose there is some
way to do it and leave out the acx_pci module but I have no idea how
to go about doing that.

Thanks for the response, but no good there either. The acx driver is
still loading somehow and showing up in lsmod. One other piece of info,
when I insert the card and do a "dmesg", I get this:


Hi again, Allen.

Have you been to this page?
http://www.houseofcraig.net/acx100_howto.php

Excerpt:
"... First, let's see if a driver is already installed, so type:
find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name "*acx*", (those are not single-quotes
around uname -r, they are backtics and are the lower-case of the "~" key on
my keyboard). If there is no output from that command and you are simply
returned to your command prompt, then no driver is already installed and you
should proceed on to the next section. If you get something back... with
"acx_pci" in it, then it's possible that the already-installed driver will
work, and all you need to do now is install the firmware, to give that a try,
you can jump to this [link]section. Suse users: If you are going to use
Suse's built-in acx_pci module, then understand that it's compiled to look
for the firmware in /lib/firmware, not /usr/share/acx, so please bear this is
mind and modify your firmware location accordingly. Some other distros that
provide pre-compiled acx_pci modules compile them to look for the firmware
in /usr/lib/firmware. ..."

regards,

Carl
