Amilo 7640 wireless non riconosciuto [SOLVED]

[acme]

Salve,

Possiedo un Amilo 7640 che monta una scheda wireless ISL3886 di conseguenza il driver è p54pci, ma nonostante abbia installato i compact wireless di backbox, il mio hardware non viene riconosciuto.

Possibili soluzioni?

L'hardware è perfettamente funzionante perché prima di backbox usavo kali linux è funzionava, anche nella partizione windows funziona.

Grazie...

Hello,

I have a Amilo 7640 which features a wireless card ISL3886 a result the driver is p54pci, but despite having installed the compact wireless backbox, my hardware is not recognized.

Possible Solutions?

The hardware is fully functional because before I used kali backbox linux is working, even in your windows partition works.

Thank you ...

Hi, try next :

sudo modprobe p54pci
sudo depmod -a
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo reboot

If you don't have internet after reboot try :

nano /etc/modules

Add in the end:

p54pci

Save file (ctrl-x, Y, Enter).

Reboot your pc ! If no luck you have 2 more solution. Remove compact drivers, try then. Or remove compact drivers and upgrade kernel up to version 3.9. But what you need to know, don't install something that your system don't need, even if you do that in the end remove all and come back for help, don't try to resolve if you don't know what you are doing.

Thank you for your help Zerof. I did so I installed linux-firmware-nonfree and wireless is gone, then I reinstalled compat-wireless, but I do not have packet injection

We can see that you need to patch your compact drivers and reload them. If you have installed compact drivers go to (you need mac80211 patch):

cd /usr/src

Then download patch and install :

sudo apt-get install patch
sudo wget http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/mac80211.compat08082009.wl_frag+ack_v1.patch
sudo wget http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/channel-negative-one-maxim.patch
sudo patch -p1 < mac80211.compat08082009.wl_frag+ack_v1.patch
sudo patch -p1 < channel-negative-one-maxim.patch
