Linux: network not recognized on toshiba m40-129 (gentoo 2005.0)

Hey everybody,

Today, I tried to start the installation cd of gentoo on my new laptop.
It has an intel 2200 wireless and a marvell yukon wired NIC.
modprobe nkge module it loads but it does not find the network interface cards.
ipw2200 is detected automatically at startup but it say that the driver could not be loaded with the code '-2'. "

Quote:
ipw2200: PIV - 2.2 - boot.fw load failed: reason - 2
ipw2200: unable to load firmware: 0xFFFFFFFE
ipw2200: unable to save the network device

someone at - it a trick?

Thanks, jens

  • Re: Serial number of satellites not recognized by Toshiba support

    Hello

    I have a computer laptop satellite A200, and I'm not able to find a driver for it on the Toshiba site!
    -serial number (X8172841K) is not recognized, the message is: "Sorry, your product is not found" [translated from the French]
    -the support site can not detect my laptop model
    -None of the drivers that I downloaded (the closest A200) accept to install

    Can U help me?

    Kind regards
    Sébastien (France)

    If the serial number is not detected by automatic detection you can find the drivers manually.

    Maybe you have the same A200 and my friends. His cell phone has PSAE6E part number.
    To find the correct drivers visit download Toshiba and support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page > support & downloads > support homepage and at the bottom you will find link to download drivers.

    Go there and choose your model of laptop with brief model number.

    If you need more help please let me know.

    BTW: have you tried to find the right drivers on Toshiba France support page?

  • It is not recognized on Toshiba Satellite M70-169 Web site

    Hello
    I have a laptop TOSHIBA SATELLITE M70-169
    I wanted to update my drivers, so I logged on the TOSHIBA site.
    The problem is that my phone is not listed on the site, there are * M70-168 * and * M70-170 * but not * M70 - 169 *.
    I tried the recognition by serial number, result: DO NOT RECOGNISED

    I tested the autodetection, and here too, the result was: DO NOT RECOGNISED.
    I am surprised that my laptop is not recognized on the official website of TOSHIBA, while I had bought in a store.

    Can someone tell me if he had the same problem and give me directions to upgrade my laptop?

    Thank you

    Satellite M70 is old enough laptop model, and I can imagine that auto detection tool doesn't properly work. Your laptop is the model European and part PSM70E number (very important for research).
    In any case, you can find all the drivers or updates manually. Follow these steps:

    Visit the download page for Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
    Click tracking options:
    Type of product - ARCHIVE
    Family - SATELLITE
    Series of products - M SERIES SATELLITES
    Model - SATELLITE M70 (PSM70)
    Short model No. - PSM70E
    OS - operating system

    And all of the available stuff appears there.

    If you have any other questions let us know.

  • Satellite L650 - network not recognized

    Hello!

    I just bought a new laptop of Toshiba Satellite L650 with Windows 7 pre-installed. I tried to install my internet high speed wireless on the laptop, but I try to connect every time, the network status box indicates that the network cannot be identified (public network) and there is no access to the network. The thing is, the connections for the modem Wireless Manager shows that it + is + connected and this was confirmed by my internet provider - to their end, looks like I'm connected. I downloaded and installed all the drivers for the modem and the software updated and has not made a difference. I also contacted the center of support for my security software and they can't identify the problem either - I've disabled the firewall completely and it made no difference. I don't really know what is happening, as far as I can connect to another wireless network, I have very well via a different USB modem with another provider, as well as my home network LAN.

    If someone could help me, the exact details are:

    -Phone: Satellite L650
    -OS: Windows 7 Home Edition
    -Wireless provider: Bigpond (Australia)
    -Network: Bigpond wireless 3G
    -Modem: Maxon BP3 - EXT Modem (connects to the pc via USB and is about 2 years old. It is identified by my supplier as compatible Windows 7)
    -Software security: McAfee Total Protection 2011

    I looked online to try to find a solution, but a lot of it is so technical that I do not understand.

    Thank you very much.

    Hey,.

    Your ad is somehow a bit confusing you speak without wire and then update driver for the modem.

    If you want to connect to your router wireless using the internal WLAN card you need to update the WIFI card driver that you can download from this page:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    So, how do you go online? You write something on the USB modem. Is your router or what exactly?

    You can also try to disable the McAfee software to see if it blocks the Internet connection or not.

    This seems to be a problem of the current Release v5.10.01. This will install only on the internal modules.
    In order to work properly, you must first install v4.xx.xx. After that your can reinstall v5.xx.xx without problems.

  • M40-129 linux acpi problem

    Hey everybody...

    during the last days I installed linux gentoo on my m40-129 - everything was going well until I tried to run the ACPI.
    can't use the ipw2200 wirless card shipped in combination with a kernel acpi. It fails from the 2200 with "impossible to send a TX_POWER command. Disable acpi in the kernel solves this problem, but a laptop computer without acpi is completely unnecessary...

    is there something wrong with the acpi table or is this a bug in the acpi kernel sources?

    Thanks guys...

  • Tecra S3 on Linux: hard drive not recognized

    Hello

    I recently bought a laptop Toshiba Tecra S3 and I'm happy with it, except for one important thing: I can not install Linux on it.

    I tried with the latest versions of Fedora Core and Ubuntu, the hard drive seems to be detected, but it is not recognized at the time of installation. I guess it's a matter of (too) new chipset Serial ATA.

    You have any recommendations or do you intend to contribute to the kernel modules in Linux/order that this model could be installed on Linux?

    Also note that I remember that I had the same problem when I tried to install Windows XP from a CD (not the recovery cd): the hard drive has not been detected and the installation failed.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I can t believe that you can not install a Windows operating system.
    You formatait once again the HARD drive? I recommend to format the HARD drive completely, then install the operating system.
    In addition, if you want to use the Windows operating system, you must use the recovery CD because this image included all the necessary drivers.

    If you want to work with the Linux operating system, I recommend using the Knoppix distribution. In this case you n t need to install anything. This Linux you can start from the DVD or CD and it works as a Linux operating system normally

  • Satellie Pro A120 - network adapter wireless not recognized by any operating system

    Hello

    I have a satellite Pro A120 (I bought two - it's a long story!)

    A month ago, I replaced the battery as life batt had fallen to 30 minutes. As a result, there were major problems with windows and toshiba software compete on power management and the long and short it wasn't that XP needed to be reinstalled.

    However, due to the relocation, the wireless card is not recognized. It is not the card, I swapped it out of the computer and it works fine in my other A120. If anyone has any ideas as to why it would not be recognized and that I could do to remedy the situation?
