Change EEPROM Regdomain

I'm having some problems changing the EEPROM regulatory domain for my wireless card (ar9580 locked to US 0x0). I can't operate on the frequencies that I'm allowed to use. I've tried changing db.txt with no luck. It adds a couple of extra channels, but not the full channel list that im allowed to use.

I want to try to modify my ath9k driver so that it overrides the EEPROM, but im not really sure how to. I've found some patches to help modify the driver (Openwrt) but I dont know how to add them.
So my question is:
- Do I have to recompile my kernel (3.18.0-kali1-amd64) to add the patches from openwrt), or do I have to download the openwrt image to be able to use the patches? Or have i got it totally wrong and there's another way to do this?


Any help is very much appreciated.

Hi I've been trying to get my atheros wireless card (Mini pcie) to work but with no luck. I'm currently using Kali linux. Do I need to install a driver or is there any other way for the chipset to work?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

HI, this is melvin, new in linux, and keep learning in here.

we just have a project need to disable the 5GHz channel in the AR9462 due to the Approval issue.
We use "iw" to do the checking and found out the current EEPROM setting is 0x6c which enabled the 5GHz channel in passive and beacon scanning mode and caused the problem in the test lab for project~.
By the way, Is there anyone could help to advise how we could disable the 5GHz channel in the ath9k? we only need 2.4GHz only but chosen this dual band card for the project, so can't be changing.
Please help.
Thanks
Melvin

Hi all,

As you can probably tell I am new to Linux and new to the forum, I am using Kali and Mint both as live Linux environments on USB drives, all is good and I am finding my way around, the reason for the post is that I need to copy 15 CF cards that have multiple partitions, Windows isn't really an option as it can only see one partition on a removable drive, so here goes with Linux.

The CF cards contain Windows Embedded XP in one partition and a separate partition for user data which isn't protected, not that the contents matter, only the fact that it is bootable with multiple partitions, the object is to upgrade the old 2gb cards to 4gb cards to add an additional program on the embedded drive, but they are both full.

as long as I can copy both partitions over the partition size doesn't matter as I can resize that if necessary, but I need both partitions to copy over to the new drive.

I have read that dd command is the way to go but cant find much on multiple partitions which display in Linux as two drives, so how do I go about this, any pointers

Ideally I would like to automate the process as this is something that we could end up doing on a regular basis, I have seen a USB drive that was plugged into a PC and through a basic GUI allowed you to copy a HDD but I don't know If that would do both partitions, something for the future?

Hello 2 All,
I had no luck with Puppy, so moving on to a dual boot of Zorin & Robo Linux.
Looking to get my Netgear and Linksys usb adaptors the proper drivers, trird a few with no luck, dialup setup is easy, finds modem but not wireless...Help.

I just find the below URL , it shows how to convert file to utf-8 , but it need to check the current encoding first , would advise how can I convert a file to utf-8 without checking the coding first ? thanks

Hi newbie here, learning Windows server 2008 online and have got two rack servers, one poweredge 2650, poweredge sc1425.

I have looked on search engines and eBay for a compatible raid card that I can use with 2.5 sata drives as I can fit more in the sc1425 this way.

It there a repository list of fairly up to date compatible cards.

Have cought my eye as possible candidates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone.
I have just installed debian stable non-free onto my hard drive but the sound isn't working.

I've been to the debian site https://wiki.debian.org/SoundConfiguration and found that 'users' don't automatically have access to audio (for security reasons).
So I did the following command as root (sudo):
Code:

adduser USER_NAME audio

Now when I am 'user', I can get sound.

I also did:
Code:

chgrp cdrom /dev/sr0
adduser USER_ID cdrom

This allows 'user' to get sound from the cdrom.

I then went onto the debian soundfaq https://wiki.debian.org/SoundFAQ

From the 'lspci -v' command, I get these 2 outputs which have the word 'audio' in it:
Code:

01:05.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 4200 Series]
	Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device 960f
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 19
	Memory at fdefc000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
	Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3
	Capabilities: [a0] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
	Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel

00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)
	Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device a102
	Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16
	Memory at fe024000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
	Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
	Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel

So I have 2 sound cards.

The debian website says: 'If sound does not work for root account as well, then that means that either your sound card is not supported by Debian or it was not configured properly'.

Ok, so the first part of the statement is worrying.
So I went to the debian device driver check page http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ and did 'lspci -n'.
The output can be pasted onto their web page and debian will say if the sound cards are supported.
The web page shows that the sound cards are supported:

Quote:
10024383 Yes Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) snd-hda-intel v2.6.25
10029715 Yes Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880 [Radeon HD 4250] radeon v2.6.35-
1002970f Yes Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 4200 Series] snd-hda-intel v2.6.27-
So now I'm guessing that my sound cards are 'not configured properly'. But I've run a Youtube video and then changed the sound cards under alsamixer and I still don't get sound.
Is there is a simple solution to this please? Thank you in advance.

new computer from boxes, does not install nvidia driver
Booted from USB then ran YaST, I am new with OpenSuse but have two times before installed OpenSuse on fresh HDD's and Nvidia cards with ease.

The symptoms are like when I switched from a GTX 640 that only has mother board power to the GTX 750 Ti and needed power that I did not connect at first. Until I added extra power to the graphics card I only got a single low res VGA output. This 750 card definitely has power but still can only provide single low res to VGA output.

Terminal (dmesg) ......The NVIDIA GPU 0000:01:00.0 (PCI ID: 10de:1380)installed in this system is not supported by the 304.125 NVIDIA Linux driver release. Please see 'Appendix A - supported NVIDIA GPU Products' in this release's README, available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. .... None of the VVIDIA graphics adapters were initialized!

Terminal (uname -r) 3.16.7-21 -default [OpenSuse version]

Terminal (/sbin/lspci) VGA Compatible controller: Nvidia Corporation GM107 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti] (rev 02)

have tried:
1. different power cables to graphic card
2. two GTX 750 Ti cards, neither work.
3. re-installed OpenSuse
4. removed card and mother board can run two monitors in high res. DVI cables are new and work. Monitors (4) are all AOC i2367 and working.

5. added to repository 'bumblebee' which contains NVIDIA drivers and tried rebooting. I am not good at repositories yet. However, I didn't need to do this twice before on new installs with NVIDIA cards.

6. downloaded from www.geforce.com file:///home/shark/Downloads/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.72(1).run but when I run it error, "The file /home/shark/Downloads/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.72(3).run was opened with UTF-8 encoding but contained invalid characters."It is set to read-only mode, as saving might destroy its content.
Either reopen the file with the correct encoding chosen or enable the read-write mode again in the menu to be able to edit it."

Hardware list: Asus H81M-E motherboard, i5 4460 CPU, 550W power, Asus GeForce GTX 750 Ti graphic card,

Note: two graphic cards on hand, both work in another OpenSuse computer.

I am just learning Linux so I need simple step by step instructions.

Thank you in advance.
