Okay:
I confirmed that the file is not there
After:
Code:
echo "options carl9170 nohwcrypt=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/carl9170.conf
There is no output
I then ran:
Code:
sudo modprobe -rfv carl9170
and got output:
Code:
rmmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/carl9170.ko
rmmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-24-generic/kernel/net/mac80211/mac80211.ko
rmmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath.ko
rmmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-24-generic/kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko
Wireless signal shuts off:
Then I input:
Code:
sudo modprobe -v carl9170 noht=1
Output is:
Code:
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-24-generic/kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath.ko
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-24-generic/kernel/net/mac80211/mac80211.ko
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/carl9170.ko nohwcrypt=1 noht=1
so it looks like the: nohwcrypt=1 is in there, however after putting in the command:
Code:
ls -l /etc/moprobe.d/
The file is still not found, I then realized there was a typo in the code,
so I entered:
Code:
ls -l /etc/modprobe.d/
not really sure if the .d is supposed to be there or if it is part of the typo, but the results were:
Code:
total 44

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30 May 18 2012 vmwgfx-fbdev.conf
and so, it looks like we are now getting somewhere, although I am not sure where.
it is also necessary to note that even though the previous time I entered the two modprobe codes the file was not even there, connectivity was still running uninterrupted for a few days, I now beleive this is regardless of reseting the computer. Whenever we try to mess with it in the manner we have been using, it seems to jolt the system in such a way as to make the connectivity work uninterrupted for about 3 days. Not sure if this info is pertinent, but it seemed worth mentioning. As usual, will see what happens in the next few days.
Thanx again
