I accidentally blacklisted my wireless driver

[jockjunior]

I accidently blacklisted my wireless driver RTL8180 trying to install a Windows driver. Puppy is now not finding my wireless connection. Where is the blacklist stored so I can delete the entry?

thanks

I believe that it's in the file /etc/modprobe.conf. However, in recent Puppies this file may now be in the folder /etc/modprobe.d.

You can move the blacklisted driver via bootmanager to the other side .

The content is stored in /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG .

The command "modprobe -l" [ | grep -i DRIVERNAME ] should show if the driver is still listed in the configuration files in

Code: Select all

ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`

and

Code: Select all

find /usr/lib/`uname -r`/ -iname "RTL*"

should finally find it .

The other configuration files of modprobe in /etc have changed since last autumn , and may also have content regarding your driver .
