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
Jock

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
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 .
