Okay, so I have Ubuntu Linux 8.10 on my Dell Inspiron 1501. The sound worked at first, but when I got the Wireless connections to work, the sound just became a crackling sound. I need help, because I'm a total Linux newbie. I sort of know how to work the terminal, but not very well. I have the SigmaTel driver stuff on
/home/jfreekao/Desktop/irda4210/
and I don't know how to install it. Here's the ReadMe. I don't understand it.
These driver files are here to help you get started. You will at least
need to install the driver into the kernel loadable modules directory
for IrDA (…/kernel/drivers/net/irda) and then insert the module (insmod).
The following modules are incompatible with this driver and on some
versions of Linux, these modules must be removed from the kernel:
ir-usb
irda-usb
You might need to insmod the "irda" module before starting.
Before running "make," check the values of LINUX_VERSION,
INLUDEDIR and MODPATH.
Before releasing anything, update the IRDA4210_VERSION string, which
gets embedded in the module.
All devices supported by this driver require a firmware patch to run.
Failing to install a patch into the device (or installing the wrong
patch) can result in a lockup of the USB bus (and the entire system).
For your protection, the driver will not allow you to open the device
unless you first apply the patch.
The "stir42xx" utility in the "tools" directory will install a patchfile.
The patch files are firmware that run in the device and are not available
with this distribution, since they are not covered under the GNU GPL.
Run "stir42xx –help" for more information.
The "sgtlpatch" script attemps to determine the version of the attached
device and will select the appropriate patch file that it finally passes
to the stir42xx utility.
My situation is a lot like the user who was requesting help in this topic: ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t…
Please help me install this!
