    Re: Phantom wireless issues

    Do you know if you have any older hardware that might stop working with the newer kernel? For example my video card is not supported past 12.04.

    Re: Phantom wireless issues

    Eh I don't think so. Everything I have, excluding my hard drive, is only a year or two old.

    Re: Phantom wireless issues

    I asked my good friend the wireless expert's advice and he suggests a couple of things before upgrading the kernel.

    Do:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
    Does it install now?
    Let's double check your kernel version:
    Code:
    lsb_release -d
    post results of the last command here.

    Installing the headers failed, but here is the result of the last command.

    emmett@jarvis:~$ lsb_release -d
    Description: Ubuntu 14.10

    One last check:
    Code:
    uname -a
    post results.
    Thanks

    Re: Phantom wireless issues

    Here are the directions for installing the new kernel, run one command at a time and watch for errors, after each command is done run the next one and they must be ran in order.
    Code:
    cd /tmp/
    
    wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.16-utopic/linux-headers-3.16.0-031600-generic_3.16.0-031600.201408031935_amd64.deb
    
    wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.16-utopic/linux-headers-3.16.0-031600_3.16.0-031600.201408031935_all.deb
    
    wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.16-utopic/linux-image-3.16.0-031600-generic_3.16.0-031600.201408031935_amd64.deb
    
    sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.16.0-*.deb linux-image-3.16.0-*.deb
    Before running the last command make sure there are no other .deb files in your tmp folder.
    Then reboot and run the commands in my previous post to install the new driver.

    Re: Phantom wireless issues

    To clarify, do you mean these commands?
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

    Re: Phantom wireless issues

    No, I meant these commands:
    Code:
    cd /tmp/
    
    wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.16-utopic/linux-headers-3.16.0-031600-generic_3.16.0-031600.201408031935_amd64.deb
    
    wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.16-utopic/linux-headers-3.16.0-031600_3.16.0-031600.201408031935_all.deb
    
    wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.16-utopic/linux-image-3.16.0-031600-generic_3.16.0-031600.201408031935_amd64.deb
    
    sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.16.0-*.deb linux-image-3.16.0-*.deb
    Then reboot and do:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r) linux-headers-generic build-essential git dkms
    git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git
    sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes
    sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.9
    echo "blacklist rtl8192cu" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
