I don't know what wireless chipset that Wifi card would be using. Is it USB or PCI?

As for audio, audio has always been a problem with multiple breakages. If you compile the audio into the kernel (built-in not a module) then it usually works a little bit better than as a module. Try that.

All in all we all need a little more information, maybe the output of a dmesg, before anyone can help.

#alsaconf - doesn't detect any soundcard

still I didn't hear anything...

2) USB wifi card

I downloaded "Driver for TL-WN321G in Linux"

I read manual and :

a)

Code:

efika:/home/Driver for TL-WN321G in Linux/Module# cp Makefile.6 ./Makefile

Code:

efika:/home/Driver for TL-WN321G in Linux/Module# ./Configure 

-------------------- Ralink RT73 Station Configuration --------------------

  Linux kernel source directory : /usr/src/linux-2.6.19-rc6

  Module install directory : /lib/modules/2.6.19-rc6/kernel/drivers/net

it looks ok so I continue

c)

Code:

efika:/home/Driver for TL-WN321G in Linux/Module# make all
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.19-rc6/build SUBDIRS=/home/Driver for TL-WN321G in Linux/Module modules
make[1]: WejÅ›cie do katalogu `/usr/src/linux-2.6.19-rc6'
make[1]: *** Brak reguÅ‚ do wykonania obiektu `for'. Stop.
make[1]: Opuszczenie katalogu `/usr/src/linux-2.6.19-rc6'
make: *** [all] Error 2

any ideas what I did wrong ?

Does "aplay" do anything or list any cards?

What's the dmesg when the module loads?

What's the error in English?

You may want to get the RT73 driver right from the Realtek website in any case and not use the "manufacturer" driver.

Are you running the latest Efika firmware?

in fact I have "20061107" firmware so I tried to update it...and again surprise :-/

Code:

ok boot scsi:0 update_e_20070122

for a while I see rotating "stick", screen blink, efika restarts...and nothing happen, I still have "2006" fw

I change scsi:0 for hd0:0(if I do ls hd0:0 or ls scsi:0 I see downloaded boot file), I used two different usb-stick and still nothing

I read about Efika Device Tree Supplement
http://www.powerdeveloper.org/platforms ... devicetree

but I didn't find more information about efficiency of that "move"

Well, you still should be using the latest firmware, but for certain Linux kernels (new ones, not the 2.6.19 provided) you will need the device tree supplement as somewhat less is patched/hacked by the kernel to supplement the device tree for missing entries and it may not detect things like USB without it.

so what do you suggest as a next step?

maybe I should change kernel for some new one?
but I can't find any with suitable patches
