<solved>Fatal error, module not found... #41

Closed SpacemanPete closed 10 years ago

SpacemanPete commented 10 years ago

I noticed after an Ubuntu system update that my wireless device stopped working. So I looked thru some forums and remembered that I needed to reinstall the rtl8732au driver but after trying I'm getting the error: modprobe: Fatal: Module 8732au not found.

I followed the steps exactly and the first install worked flawlessly a month ago on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 install, but with the update I assume sth changed as the driver install now kicks up the error.

I'm still pretty much a noob, so I just throwing this out there for any troubleshooting advice on where to look for trouble and what to try for a fix.

thanks in advance!

Please try to boot ubuntu using and older kernel (that worked for me), in the grub boot loader choose "Advanced Options for Ubuntu" then you can choose the previous kernel with the driver installed.

Thanks for the reply! I just booted a previous kernel and waited to the updtream fix to resolve the issue a few days later. Then the module installed fine.
