Wireless headache BCM4312 and PKGBUILD [SOLVED]

So I realize that there is a new driver availible from broadcom for the BCM 4312.
until today I was running my wireless card off of ndiswrapper 1.52,
upon updating to the new kernel (2.6.27) my wireless card has ceased to function.
therefore I was trying to install the PKGBUILD from the aur and got some interesting errors.
i ran 'makepkg -L --asroot'  and here are the results=>

  • Post_install and PKGBUILDS[solved]

    OK as a maintainer of a package I have a soft dependency of gpac.
    Now its been requested that I use
    post_install() {}
    My question is how? Would I just add it after my build section
    build() {
    cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
    sed -i -e "s|/usr|$startdir/pkg/usr|g" \
    -e 's|usr/local/|usr/|g' install
    ./install
    post_install() {
    Please install gpac for mp4 or mkv conversion
    Is this is not correct could some please tell me how to achieve the above so after install it mentions that gpac maybe needed for conversion.

    I got a couple of other things firstly in regards to pkgrel I've always presumed that as the version goes up. I've always assumed that I should only increase if I repackage a said version.
    Yet I had a comment to the affect asking if I could increase it by one now I felt this is wrong, so what would be the correct way?
    The other thing is there something blatantly wrong with the this PKGBUILD or is just a question of TU hasn't got around to it yet?

  • Wireless remote control and FM transmitter in one?

    Hello.
    Does anbody know if there is a wireless remote control and FM transmitter in one product out yet for the iPod? I am wanting to keep my iPod in the trunk of my GoldWing and control it while I ride transmitting through the FM tuner.
    Other ideas or a combination of products to accomplish this much appreciated!
    thanks
    iPod 80 GB   Windows XP  

    I spent some time (2 hrs) again with the vendor, trying to solve the issue.
    The only result we got is that, when the PC is in suspended status, it can be resumed by pressing "ON" button of the IR Remote Control. That's all.
    My suspect is therefore confirmed: it isn't a hardware issue. It lokks like the IR Remote Controller and the PC can talk eachother, but they speak different languages.
    It is quite a surprise that I couldn't find any information on the use  (Settings? Activation?) of the remote control, nor in the topics of this forum. Really I'm the only one trying to watch TV on the PC? Are there any users of a C540 who can tell me their experience?
    Thank you

  • I have been using WRT54G wireless broadband router and WU...

    I have been using WRT54G wireless broadband router and WUSB54G on my home PC for the last 2 years. It was working fine until recently I encountered serious connection problem.
    The WUSB54G cannot connect with WRT54G.
    Error message " Cannot assocaite with the access point.
    I have checked the followings to try and solve the problem.
    1) Refresh site survey the WUSB54G does not show my SSID, but it can show my neighbour'sSSID.
    3) When I use my notebook with built-in wireless network adaptor to access wirelss broadband there is no problem at all. I can access my SSID.
    4) I have try reseting the WRT54G and changing password but still can not solve the problem.
    5) Uninstall and re-install
    5) I have installed a new USB adapter (WUSB54GG) thinking that it could be the old WUSB54G is faulty. But still encounter same problem.
    I am using Window XP Professional. What could be the problem?
    Please provide your professional advice. Thank you.

    "Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
    In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
    Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
    In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
    That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done.

  • I need help setting up a wireless network and getting connected to the internet. I have a RCN cable modem now and tried to install a wireless linksys today and it was a disaster

    I have a MAC desktop and RCN cable that I have internet through now. I tried to set up a linksys wireless router today and could not get the network settings right, or figure out how to create the network, or get connected. I was successfull for only a few minutes because my phone and laptop had picked up the signal. However my desktop still would not connect to the internet. I had to restart my cable modem after because even after returning to directly inserting the desktop to the modem I could not get on the internet. I am able to get on now but would like to have wireless for my laptop and phone. Do I have to have an Apple router? Are there any easy steps I can take to set up a network without doing any damage to my desktop? I am so lost and have been getting pop ups and even my time changed.
    Please help a new person to Apple!

    why dont you go to linksys.com/downloads and get the quick install for your adpter

  • HP Printer can no longer be found wirelessly by Mac and iOS devices?

    I have an HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw printer which has been successfully connected wirelessly for quite some time. I recently replaced an older Time Capsule (flat square) with one of the new tower-looking Time Capsules, and the same replacement for an Airport Express I use as an access point. Again this is all the same setup as previously.
    The issue is none of the devices can find the printer wirelessly anymore, despite the fact that the printer reports it's on the network and operating fine, and I can see the printer in the Printers & Scanners/Add window. I have attempted downloading and reinstalling the software from HP, deleting old printers in the Preferences panel and reinstalling from there, and nothing has worked. If I try to re-add the printer using the Bonjour Multifunction entry and AirPrint as the driver, it gets as far as the "Setting up the device" progress dialog and then fails with an error that reads: "An error occurred while trying to add the selected device. Unable to communicate with the printer at this time."
    I have tried setting up an IP reservation for the printer and using the IP setup in the Add window (instead of the default); with and without the HP Jetdirect protocol; using the AirPrint driver and the selected HP series driver -- no success with any choice.
    So far my only workaround is connecting it by USB to the nearest Mac and sharing it on the network using Printer Sharing. This is not the ideal solution, of course, since it means my iOS devices still can't find it and the Mac needs to be turned on 24/7 to share out the printer. I bought this printer originally specifically for its AirPrint capability so I could print to it from iPads and iPhones as well as my Macs. Currently I can't print from any iOS devices so it's rather painful.
    Any suggestions to get this fixed will be much appreciated

    Reset the TC to factory and start again..
    New names.. short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    eg TCgen5 base station name.
    I also strongly recommend using different names for the bands when things go wrong. TC24ghz and TC5ghz.
    Use WPA2 personal security with a short pure alphanumeric password.. (short meaning 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers)
    Redo the setup of the Express based on the new setup.
    Redo the connection of the printer to the wireless network.
    Test the printer by pinging it from the computer.
    Delete all drivers in the computer for the printer.. and start over.
    That generally will get it running.
    If not use the old TC as a wireless AP for printer connection .. by doing extend wireless with it and placing it near the printer.

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.

  • Linksys Wireless Print server and my Mac G4

    I just set up my linksys wireless print server and it's printing from my PC just fine - not so on my G4. My printer is a Canon Pixma ip5200, and the appropriate drivers etc are installed.
    I know the IP address and have tried setting up the printer via IPP (and pinged it from the mac successfully). Just no success printing. The printer utility looks like it is printing to the printer but nothing comes out.
    Any ideas?

    You won't be able to get this to work.
    The Canon printer drivers won't allow you to connect to and print to a Canon printer attached to a wireless print server.
    There is no solution, there is no way that this can work
    You have three solutions.
    Replace the Canon printer with another printer for which the drivers will work.
    Replace the Canon printer with a networked Canon printer such as the iP4000r (or any other network printer) in which case you won't need the print server
    Connect the Canon printer directly via USB to the computer to print.

  • I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it won't print. What is AirPrint and how do I connect it?

    I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it still won't print.  What is AirPrint &amp; how do I connect to it?

    Patti-
    Is your Epson printer on Apple's list of AirPrint capable printers?  See <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356>.
    If it is an AirPrint printer, then your WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint.  Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update, that will make it work.
    One other possibility is that there could be a print job stuck in the iPad's print queue.  Double click the iPad's Home button and a row of recent Apps will appear along the bottom of the screen.  Scroll across and see if the Print Center is there.

  • Copying wireless router password and settings to a new Powerbook

    I recently bought a second 15" powerbook after my girlfriend bought my former one.
    I bought a Lynksys WRT54G Wireless G Router and after some configuration, I successfully connected her powerbook to my DSL connection wirelessly. However I now am having trouble connecting my new PB wirelessly. I am a bit apprehensive about messing with setting a new password, etc, since I might mess up her wireless connection. I remember it took some time to set the router properly.
    Is there a way to copy, and or see, ALL of the settings that I configured in her powerbook for this Lynksys Router, so I can copy them correctly to mine?
    When I tried before, I had something screwed up because I kept getting different errors as I tried different settings.
    So I need to retrieve the PASSWORD and SETTINGS for the Lynksys Router from her BP and copy them to mine.
    Can anyone help with this?
    Thanks,

    Thanks for that info.
    I will post this to the Airport section.
    The problem is that even after copying all of the settings from my girlfriends PB, including a long password starting with a $, my airport won't connect to the Lynksys wireless network. Airport is turned on (on my powerbook), and 'Ive chosen the proper wireless network with the proper password in network settings. I also added my PB Mac address to the Lynksys router when I was hooked up via an ethernet cable, but I still can't connect the the wireless network. I have both Powerbooks side by side. Hers connects wirelessly and mine doesn't.
    I'm missing a setting somewhere, I believe.
    Thanks,

  • BEFW11S4 Wireless-B username and password rejection

    I have a BEFW11S4 Wireless-B router and yesterday my router stopped recognizing my username and password, but only after I log in. I am able to log into the main router configuration page after I type in 192.168.1.1 into my web browser and also able to configure the options under the administration and even the security tab. However when it comes to changing any of the options under the setup tab like "internet connection type" or the "optional settings", I am prompted to enter my username and password. I do this, as normal, but this time it does not accept it and continues to ask for it unitl I get a bright red "unauthorized" screen in internet explorer.  I also can not change anything in the "applications and gaming tab" either without it prompting for a password that is rejected, whether or not the password is right.
    I have updated the firmware to the latest available for this old router, I have reset the router countless times (using the reset button on the back of the router and using the "restore factory defaults" option on the configuration page), and I have unplugged the router countless times as well. I have also tried using Firefox or Opera thinking that it may have been a web browser problem. I have tried many "simple fixes" because I don't know much about routers, but I do know that my router was working fine a couple days ago and I didn't have this problem. I need to change the internet connection type and also forward a few ports but it isn't allowing me to do so . Can anyone please give me advice on what I should do to resolve this problem?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated..

    Hi… This is very common issue when you have upgraded the wrong file. So check the version of your router and download the correct firmware for the same. Reset the router for 1 min and try configuring the same. If not, might be flash memory on the router is corrupted. You need another router.

    Your profile indicates your Mac is running v10.7.2
    If that is correct, updating your system software may help.
    Click Software Update from the Apple menu.
    Restart your Mac after updates are installed then try the App Store.
    If you can't update that way, there's a workaround.
    Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)
    Then restart your Mac and try the App Store.

  • I have a macmini on order, I wonder if I can pair the wireless apple keyboard and magic touchpad without using any other input devices, especially, since everything is brand new and not yet paired.

    You may just want to save yourself any possible issues
    by just hooking up a wired keyboard and mouse on first
    start up.  Any USB keyboard and mouse should work.
    There have been many that have had problems on first boot
    using the Bluetooth devices.
