[arch-general] New kernel and Realtek 8171 wireless card
I uploaded my Arch box this morning, and my wireless card doesn't work anymore. I had to install this AUR package [1] to get it working with prior kernel versions. When I ran lsmod | grep r8192, I realised that the module isn't being loaded. But it makes no difference to run modprobe r8192e_pci --- ifconfig -a won't show any wireless extentions. Does anybody have this issue? I browsed the forum and the bug tracker and found nothing about it. Unfortunatelly I ran pacman -Scc yesterday, so I can't downgrade! I'm sorry if I didn't make myself clear but I'm such a hurry I can't even think clearly. Thank you all. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34281 -- Rafael Beraldo http://cabaladada.org

You need to rebuild the package against the new kernel.

I'll try that later but, why? I didn't have to rebuild it with prior versions. -- Rafael Beraldo http://cabaladada.org

because now the kernel update was to a major version and the location of modules is changing with that from /lib/modules/2.6.34-ARCH to /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH -- Ionuț
