Ciao a tutti.
Ho appena installato Squeeze sul mio nuovo Dell XPS 15z, però la scheda ethernet non è stata riconosciuta durante l'installazione. Si tratta della Intel Advanced-N 6230, una di quelle il cui firmware è non-free.
root@debian:/home/stefano# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Sandy Bridge DRAM Controller (rev 09) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Sandy Bridge PCI Express Root Port (rev 09) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Sandy Bridge Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation Cougar Point HECI Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation Cougar Point USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 05) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Cougar Point High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Cougar Point PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev b5) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Cougar Point PCI Express Root Port 2 (rev b5) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Cougar Point PCI Express Root Port 4 (rev b5) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Cougar Point PCI Express Root Port 5 (rev b5) 00:1c.5 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Cougar Point PCI Express Root Port 6 (rev b5) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation Cougar Point USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 05) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Cougar Point LPC Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation Cougar Point 6 port SATA AHCI Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation Cougar Point SMBus Controller (rev 05) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0df5 (rev a1) 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 0091 (rev 34) 04:00.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller (rev 04) 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Device 1083 (rev c0)
Ho provato a seguire questa guida, ma, anche dopio il reboot, la scheda sembra che non sia riconosciuta:
root@debian:/home/stefano# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. pan0 no wireless extensions.
root@debian:/home/stefano# ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:28 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:28 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1880 (1.8 KiB) TX bytes:1880 (1.8 KiB)
Secondo questa pagina il firware necessario pare sia supportato solo a partire dal kernel 2.6.36, mentre Squeeze ha il 2.6.32.
C'è qualcosa che posso fare?
Grazie in anticipo
Stefano




Installare un kernel più recente utilizzando il repository dei backports per squeeze (http://wiki.debian.org/Backports)
