[SOLVED] Kernel-Power 52 wrecked my phone, Wi-Fi

Hey...

My first power-kernel was 51 with uboot...
When I installed it I had no wifi if I booted in stock... but I was happy with 51 so I never asked why...

Now I upgraded to 52, and can't start wifi...

My tests where:

Code:

~ $ ifconfig wlan0 up

ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device



~ $ modprobe -l | grep wl12

/lib/modules/2.6.28.10-power52/wl12xx.ko



~ $modprobe -r wl12xx

FATAL: Module wl1251_spi not found

I have no blacklisted modules...
Any guesses?

Re: [HELP] Kernel-Power 52 wrecked my phone, Wi-Fi

Does /lib/modules/2.6.28.10-power52 exist and contain the KP52 module files?

Re: [HELP] Kernel-Power 52 wrecked my phone, Wi-Fi

yes. upgrade deletedmy kp51 modules and added the kp52 ones...

I also tried to

Code:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall kernel-power-modules

Re: [HELP] Kernel-Power 52 wrecked my phone, Wi-Fi

I cannot load the bleeding edge drivers anymore since.
Is it possible to downgrade KP52?

Umm... wl1251_spi is part of the injection-capable patched wifi driver. Not the stock wifi driver (unless they changed things in v. 52).

So I suspect for some reason the config for modprobe has wl1251_spi (one of the modules making up the injection-capable driver) listed as either a dependency of wl12xx (the stock driver) or vice-versa.

I believe since 51 they were included with the kernel-power-modules package. Located at /opt/packet-injection-modules/`uname`/.

There is an error (Cleven/Reaver WARNING: The system did not find a know compatible kernel version for the injection drivers. The application might not work properly..) but I got it working by using a shell script from an older post http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...t=kernel-power :D

Thanx mate!

I did this and now everything is working as before think it's the best solution.

sudo gainroot
apt-get install --reinstall kernel-power=1:2.6.28-10power51r1 kernel-power-modules=1:2.6.28-10power51r1 kernel-power-flasher=1:2.6.28-10power51r1 kernel-power-bootimg=1:2.6.28-10power51r1

Thanks!!
Something put a packet-injection.conf with this

Code:

blacklist wl12xx

alias wl12xx wl1251_spi

i never checked other files blacklisting things.

Use 'GConf Edit' and change the path for 'driver_folder' under 'apps' -> 'wlan_driver_selector' to

Code:

/opt/packet-injection-modules/2.6.28.10-power52
