Thanks o.g., both for the confirmation and the link. The internet is a wonderful medium.

Happy roasting with the BBQ and feel warmly welcome!

Hy

I have to stop roast experimentation. For information, about b43, the README_wl file is not installed.
I don't know if mother has to recognize automatically b413 card, but /sbin/ifconfig does not return any wlan0.
On the other hand with linuxbqq-rc2-xfce on a usb key (i686 not amd64) I have wlan0 and I see wireless network.


cheers
O.G.

Can you please post the name of the card and the kernel driver in use according to the output:
Code:
lspci -nnk |grep net


Edit: we especially need the device number [xxxx:yyyy]

Sorry

With firmarwe-brcm-80211 and modprobe -r brcmsmac I see wlan0.

Code:
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4727] (rev 01)


I will try later (at home but in a few days) the wireless connection.

O.G.

Hy

Wireless is ok (I can post).

A few remarks
1) if some people have touchpad problem on recent laptop (like dell e 6{234}30), no vertical scrolling facility with
synclient) I follow https://github.com/emmanuelthome/psmouse-alps on archbang and it works.
When I have time I do the same on mother.

2) the key Fn+lower/higher britness does not work ?

3) I find that boot is not so fast even if systemd is used (if I compare to archbang for example),
perhaps it is due to the number of services launched.

O.G.

2) the acer trick on this forum does not work (it is normal since without this option it works under another disrib)

3) is ok, It is my fault. I do not need dhcp in /e/n/interfaces


O.G.

btw... for us GUI/synaptic users
Code:
sudo apt-get install apt-xapian-index
sudo update-apt-xapian-index -vf

to enable the search box in synaptic.

Edit: and xarchiver so Thunar can "Extract here"

mother = systemd i guess? because in that case: try booting in verbose mode (type 'e' at GRUB screen and change 'quiet' to 'verbose' in the kernel line) and see what is causing the slowdown. probably dhcpdiscover not finding your wireless or something. or something else. otherwise, in a terminal try 'systemd-analyze blame' to see what processes take longest to start.

Hello

Thanks for your help. In fact as I wrote in a post, the boot speed is ok after removing dhcp in /e/n/interfaces.

I do not have an acer but dell e6330. Wireless is ok. However the module brcmsmac is not automatically loaded with systemd
even if I added brcmsmac in /e/modules-load.d (without it is).

The Fn Up/Down key to modify screen brightness is kernel dependent ! With 3.6.9, 3.6.10 it is ok but with 3.7.1 not.
But with/without systemd and under a kernel 3.6.9 the led (wireless up or wireless down) is always off.

As another people I have more important things to do now.

O.G.

Hello

Some news about dell e6330

speed booting : ok

wireless : everything is fine (in fact I had a brcmsmac blacklist so that it was
not automatic, apt-get purge helped me)

brightness screen : the acer tricks does not work and it depends on the kernel
3.7.1 no, 3.6.9 : yes. But even if it works I do not have osd notification

wireless led control : nothing. I tested also semplice and siduction : the same.
But with Archbang I have wireless led control. So module option, kernel option compilation ?

about osd notification : because I use fr_UTF8 some messages have accented character
but osd-notification shows strange character in place. I think it considers as latin1.
It is not important because I installed xfce-notification.

Cheers
O.G.
