But does

Code: Select all

lshw -c net

Show Network UNCLAIMED, I think the lshw will show it in caps

under what conditions do you want me to try that? With the adapter blacklisted? If so, i don't know which blacklist string you want me to try. I've tried 4 different ones. See post above, and last post on pg 1.

thx!

Post

Code: Select all

cat /etc/modules

Something must be overriding the blacklist

Actually just run this

Code: Select all

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && \
chmod +x wireless-info && \
./wireless-info

and post the wireless-info.txt as most of the info should be there and it should show how a driver can load while being on the blacklist

I do have a script that I have working on my machine and instructions on how to get it working, if this blacklist issue can be fixed

johnywhy · Post by **johnywhy** » Sun Sep 20, 2015 1:00 pm

OK, so you want me to run wireless-info without the adapter disabled in the blacklist or interfaces files?

Thx!

As it is now

"now"? But i keep changing things-- blacklisting, then removing the blacklist, etc. Which "now" do you mean? When i posted above it was blacklisted. Now it's not blacklisted.

Btw, the external wifi adapter was not attached when i ran this.

Is this 3 separate commands? Or one command? In your post, there are line-breaks between them.
when i execute the first one at a command line,

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireles ... eless-info && \

i get a new prompt that looks like

>

Then i try to execute the second one,

chmod +x wireless-info && \

and nothing visible happens.
Then i do the third one, and i get:

########## wireless info END ############

Post by **JeremyB** » Sun Sep 20, 2015 1:52 pm

Right now the driver for the USB wifi is blacklisted, I thought you wanted to be able to disable the internal card?

johnywhy · Post by **johnywhy** » Sun Sep 20, 2015 2:39 pm

That's odd, there's nothing in my blacklist file.

It was not plugged in when I ran wireless-info. But anytime I plug it in, it activates and connects no problem.

How can you tell it's blacklisted?

Yes, it's the internal card I want to disable.

Thx!

Post by **JeremyB** » Sun Sep 20, 2015 2:48 pm

[/etc/modprobe.d/50-8188eu.conf]
blacklist r8188eu

Was in the info and the udev results didn't show any other driver that might work for the usb, you might want to see if it does work after plugging it in. After plugging it in, wait a minute then post

Code: Select all

lshw -c net

and it will show UNCLAIMED if there is no driver or list the driver in the rest of the results

Something must be overriding the blacklist

After adding one or more lines to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, you have to update the copy of 'blacklist.conf' in the 'initramfs' archive file, otherwise the module(s) will still be loaded at boot:

Code: Select all

sudo update-initramfs -u

I have never needed to use that command to blacklist a module

Buzzsaw · Post by **Buzzsaw** » Sun Sep 20, 2015 4:03 pm

I remember many years ago I tried to blacklist the 'ipw2200' module, and I couldn't understand why it still got loaded after being added to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. I didn't know about 'initramfs' then, of course.

Ok, couple things--

wrong blacklist file i was editing a file called "blacklist", not "blacklist.conf". I tried again, using the correct blacklist file, but internal adapter is still listed in network manager on reboot WITHOUT using the initramfs command.

Then i tried again with initramfs, and internal wifi is still loading on boot.

initramfs gave me:

$ sudo update-initramfs -u
[sudo] password for boom:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-46-generic
Warning: No support for locale: en_US.utf8

Here are the contents of my blacklist.conf:

# This file lists those modules which we don't want to be loaded by
# alias expansion, usually so some other driver will be loaded for the
# device instead.

# evbug is a debug tool that should be loaded explicitly

blacklist Ralink corp. RT5390 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe

old dongle: i believe the r8188eu that appears as blacklisted is an older dongle that i'm not using. The new dongle that i'm using is Ralink RT2870, installed using these instructions: http://askubuntu.com/a/554278 and my thread here: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=204834. When i plug in the new dongle, it appears in network manager and works fine. i get this:

blacklist for the file name may not be sufficient as Linux is probably just looking at .conf files no matter what the name is.

To blacklist the internal driver do

Code: Select all

echo "blacklist rt2800pci" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rt2800pci.conf

Reboot and see if it doesn't work, then check to see if the USB module is loaded with the USB wifi inserted with

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep mt7601Usta

ok, that worked. The adapter is not visible in Network Manager. Great! (note, we also disabled it ok using the interfaces file, on pg 1).

this command works to re-enable after boot

sudo ip link set wlan0 up

great!

however, that did not work on first try, so before i mark this solved, i'm going to use it a while.

thx!

If it is disabled after rebooting, the only command you need is

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe rt2800pci

And if you want to disable without rebooting

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe -r rt2800pci

ok, so i'm trying to consolidate the whole solution.
First, we do this, to disable the internal wifi adapter on boot:

JeremyB wrote:To blacklist the internal driver do
Code: Select all
echo "blacklist rt2800pci" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rt2800pci.conf

which is equivalent to

Code: Select all

sudo leafpad /etc/modprobe.d/rt2800pci.conf

and then entering "blacklist rt2800pci" into the file.

then we use the following to enable the card after boot:

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe rt2800pci

we cannot (should not?) use the interfaces file nor blacklist.conf to blacklist this adapter. we cannot (should not?) use the following to enable the card after boot:

Code: Select all

sudo ip link set wlan0 up

sudo ifconfig rt2800pci up

is this all correct?

thx!
