My WiFi on my HP 210 was working after following slaine's tutorial here:
http://slaine.org/_slaine/Meego_1.0_Wifi.html

I then updated using the instructions here:
http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo_1.0_Netbook_Updates

I lost my WiFi and running slaine's tutorial would show that I have the driver already installed.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

How about removing installed driver package and rebuild & reinstall it again?

Nope, didn't work.

[solt]

Does the driver work at all? What does 'sudo iwconfig' say?

[profebral]

Do you maybe need to install the kernel mod (kmod) package again?

[anidel]

You need to --force the installation of the package.
I had the same issue when I've update my dell mini 9 tonight.
Re-compile the package and install it with :

rpm -i<options> --force <package name>

Still not working. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, tried --force, and still nothing.

'sudo iwconfig' says:

lo no wireless extensions
eth0 no wireless extensions

any more ideas?

[solt]

sounds like the driver is not loaded at all.. what is your 'sudo lsmod' output? and 'sudo modprobe wl'?

[reggie]

Looks like it. How do I manually load it or have it run on boot?

sudo lsmod:

joydev 7110 0
uvcvideo 46938 0
battery 7968 0
hp_wmi 3917 0

sudo modprobe wl:

FATAL: Module wl not found.


Thanks.

modprobe will load driver providing it is somwhere in kernel modules space. I think in your case, the module was installed into some bad path. Try this

sudo find /lib/modules -name wl.ko

and when it prints some path

sudo insmod <path from prev command>

anyway, wl.ko should live in /lib/modules/<krenel-version>/drivers/net if memory serves (sorry, I'm now on my winxp box )

EDIT: shoudl be sudo insmod ....
