Sony VAIO sgn-s5hp

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.
