Still boring to manage proprietary drivers with a Linux Kernel... Each time I want to update my kernel, I have to reinstall the ATI (ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]) and WIFI (Intel Corp. PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter) drivers ...
So, I write down a quick procedure for a lazy copy/paste the next time.
Procedure for GNU/Linux with gcc 3.3 / kernel 2.6.13 / Ati Drivers fglrx 8.16.20 for X.org / ipw2100 1.1.0 / Alien 8.56 (RPM to .deb)
ATI drivers :
wget http://dlmdownloads.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx_6_8_0-8.19.10-1.i386.rpm
alien fglrx_6_8_0-8.19.10-1.i386.rpm
dpkg --force-overwrite -i fglrx-6-8-0_8.19.10-2_i386.deb
cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
chmod +x ./make.sh && ./make.sh
cd ..
chmod +x ./make_install.sh && ./make_install.sh
Wifi Card :
wget http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ipw2100/ipw2100-1.1.0.tgz
tar zxvf ipw2100-1.1.0.tgz
cd ipw2100-1.1.0
wget http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=429
mv attachment.cgi\?id\=429 compilation_fix
patch < compilation_fix
make
make install
And the /etc/modules should have (the order does matter) :
agpgart
agp_ati
fglrx
i8k force=1
ipw2100
