    [SOLVED] Help Please for Debian Lenny Wireless

    Hello Everybody,

    I was able to make my Debian's wireless work a few months ago until the time came that I had to make a fresh install.

    After trying and failing this time, I received some advise that Debian removed the wl package from their repos just recently and have tried to follow the new instructions.

    Its kinda long but please allow me to post my outputs below hoping that it could help you in understanding what is happening:

    Code:
    debian:/home/jun# apt-get update && apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$`uname -r` wireless-tools

    Google first, then ask..

    I don't understand. It says I don't have it but it seems that I already have all the things needed to make wireless work

    Would you suggest I just make a fresh reinstall of Debian and try everything allover again?

    Thank you!

    A reinstall probably won't fix this issue.

    Do this bit again
    Code:
    su -
insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/wl/wl.ko
    and post the output of
    Code:
    dmesg | grep wl
modprobe -l | grep wl
lsmod

    [ 218.755827] wl: Unknown symbol ieee80211_get_crypto_ops
    This is the problem. I found a similar bug report for Ubuntu 9.10, which connects it to Ubuntu's backported modules.
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...wl/+bug/395630

    But that solution wouldn't apply to debian. I'll keep looking for something.
