Problems around my notebook - I need some debugging around the kernel

[Zoltan Hoppar]

Hi Everyone,

I have a little problems with my new laptop HP Probook 4515s with Fedora 13,
and the latest kernel.

1. Somehow, I couldn't activate the broadcom PHY - wifi module, I have
followed many advices - linuxwireless.org and after many tries I have given
up. In result I got only an broken network manager.
2. After I have installed the newest stable kernel (2.6.34.6-47.fc13.i686)
as update, the sleep function has been messed up. The machine instead of
full sleep, it kills my notebook with overheating the still alive notebook
with no fan, or when shuts down, except the fan what is getting ready to fly
and never stops with closed lid.
3. Official Ati grfx driver doesn't work, but I have found that in even F14
too. Tried the workaround, but I have decided after the screen keeps died, I
stick with the default.
4. There are several problems with PCI (pci 0000:00:01.0: MSI quirk
detected; subordinate MSI disabled, PCI: CLS mismatch (64 != 32), using 64
bytes pci 0000:01:05.0: Boot video device) If I good know that there is an
kernel swith what could correct CLS, but I couldn't find the correct params.
5. When the system boots, then I could catch several PCI collosions as
message, but steps further in boot where you could follow in graphical mode
the bootscreen.

Somebody could help to what kind of files re needed, and what took for in
order?

Try the following:

1. Enable RPMFusion repo (both free and non-free). [1]
2. as root:
    # yum install kmod-wl broadcom-wl

[1] http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

Thanks,

I knew this, but doesnt work. However I have insterted successfully the b43
driver, but somehow gets disabled my wireless network. I think this is
causing by NetworkManager, but couldn't tell that why. Maybe I don't have
right, but currently I'm stucked with an disabled Broadcom-PHY. Well, it
seems in dmesg that first turns on the PHY then turns off???

Here is my part of the dmesg:

sky2 0000:02:00.0: eth0: enabling interface

bdl_pos_adj.
b43-phy0: Radio hardware status changed to DISABLED

Furthermore, on networkmanager gui where you could turn off/on the networks
(right click on upper systray icon), greyed out - so couldn't explain what
happened...

PS: If I would like to always load an module for my computer, where must I
note that for the system? (HP WMI driver module)

Well,

It seems that I know the reason why is disabled my wifi...

it's looks like the rfkill is active - as I have get acquainted this thing -
it means that for spare battery power you could turn off the wifi chip. This
is the rfkill. But I couldn't turn off this - or manage. Normally as far as
I know, Networkmanager could do this at in right click menu, and manage this
part. But currently the whole network managing upper part is greyed out - so
it means for me that unreachable.

Somebodí at support chat has adviced to me to install system-config-network
-  this helped to me a lot to get the diagnosis.

So - I hope this will help if somebody knows the solution for this - here is
the part of the dmesg:

Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) :
    invalid argument "Automatic".

Thx,

Zoltan

It has been solved. There is an bios switch where you could choose between
wlan of lan. I have reseted to factory default - so rfkill turns off. I have
reactivated broadcom wl driver - and set up params - now I'm workin on wifi.

Thanks for everybody help
