Sony VAIO sgn-s5hp

[eFFeMMe8]

I have some problem with OS Unix or Unix-like

in linux, all distribution with kernel after version 2.6.10.5 not run

...and now i'm testing pc-bsd :
after installation ( version 1.2 or 1.3rc1 ) the results are :

a) no sound
b) if i use touchpad ( for click ) not have result : i must toclick bottom of touchpad

and last problem ...serious problem : my integrated Wi-FI card not_in_use ( "no carrier" )

without connection...life of by Laptop is useless



....I have used only cd1 : this is THE problem ?

You only need to second CD to install with extra languages. The touch pad might be able to be fixed with playing with moused settings or drivers.

What chipset is the Wifi card ??

I doubt if the sound card is supported but you may be able to use ndisgen to compile a driver for the Wifi.

Here's how you can try to make your WiFi card work: http://faqs.pcbsd.org/4_324_en.html

Here's how you can enable the "tap" feature of your touchpad (#4): http://faqs.pcbsd.org/9_294_en.html

Dumb question... have you tried refreshing the wireless network list in Network Manager?

[TerryP]

You might try to see if your Vendor (Sony or the manufactur of the Wifi card I'd guess) has the Windows Drivers for download that you can unpack some where and copy over to the laptop.

[eFFeMMe8]

the result of your help for my WiFi problem is :

a) i have this card : Intel Pro/Wireless 2200 Bg - but this card is not operative afetr installation PC-BSD_1.2 ( "no carrier")

b) i have files .sys e .inf for to use NDISGES: last step ( after re-write file .inf because is present an error .... to many rows "exceptions" ...i deleted all rows of exceptions ) not completed for an error ( "not present archive /etc..... i not remember )

c) i test command "kload ndis" but KLOAD is a "unknow command"

for installation I used ONLY CD_1


...this evening i test INSTALL only PC-BSD_1.3 whith CD 1 & 2

Have you tried 'kldload' ? That loads files/drivers into the kernel.

[TerryP]

The iwi driver should support Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2225BG/2915ABG cards

Add these lines to the bottom of your /boot/loader.conf file


wlan_wep_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_xauth_load="YES"
wlan_acl_load="YES"
if_iwi_load="YES"


There should be a few topics on WPA / WEP setup here or you can check here (http://www.freebsdmall.com/~loader/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/wireless/article.html)for a more detailed info. The networking configuration program in the Control Center should work if you need (or want) WEP but I'd suggest WPA-PSK if possible :-)[/code]

Yesterday i tested this solution : WiFi is recognized...but not work

the results are :

- Intel(R) PRO/wireless 200bg - NO CARRIER
- no wireless network....but after refresh...is present with 0 dBm (dhcp)

WHY ?
with other O.Systems are automatic recognized and connecting......

the answer of fliker it has not helped me

[rodonn]

What happens if you refresh on the OdB message?

[eFFeMMe8]

What happens if you refresh on the OdB message?

nothing

if I want to create a "new connection wifi" , name_defined + DCHP, ....after "connection" my IP was 0.0.0.0....if not use DHCP ...change IP but...not have connection

really dumb question: are all your wireless networks WEP/WPA protected?
