Ubuntu 10.10 Intel Wimax 6250 problem
Hi,
I have an Intel Wimax 6250 and fresh Ubuntu 10.10 install. The wireless card works, however during startup I get an annoying message:
dmesg | grep 6050
[ 16.118240] i2400m_usb 2-1.5:1.0: fw i6050-fw-usb-1.5.sbcf: cannot load file: -2
Anyone have this message and know how to get rid of it?
I think the file is supposed to exist in /lib/firmware/i6050-fw-usb-1.5.sbcf but it doesn't.

Thank you for your reply.
However, I don't think they are the same files? At least they don't have the same name.
The one I get an error about is:
i6050-fw-usb-1.5.sbcf
while the file mentioned in that thread is:
iwlwifi-6050-4.ucode
or are they actually the same file with different names?

Oops! You are right. See if the attached helps.

I guess it was supposed to be an empty file? Anyway, it solved the problem!
i2400m_usb 2-1.5:1.0: WiMAX interface wmx0 (00:1d:e1:37:aa:d9) ready
Thanks a lot!
I still get the message though during startup and not the ubuntu logo... Not a major issue but a little annoying.

It's 140 bytes zipped. It may be slender, but it's not empty. I'm glad your Wimax is working.

Ops, my bad.. Seems there still a problem. I get:
i2400m_usb 2-1.5:1.0: WiMAX interface wmx0 (00:1d:e1:37:aa:d9) ready
but further down it still complains
[ 77.069348] i2400m_usb 2-1.5:1.0: fw i6050-fw-usb-1.5.sbcf: cannot load file: -2

The zip file file is 140 bytes, but the extracted file is 0 bytes:

Re: Ubuntu 10.10 Intel Wimax 6250 problem
Well, I am not sure what happened. Please click here: http://linuxwimax.org/Download?actio...-1.5.0.tar.bz2
Right-click the file and select 'Extract here.' Drop the two .sbcf files into /lib/firmware and give the files the correct ownership and permission:
Code:
sudo chown root:root /lib/firmware/*.sbcf
sudo chmod 644 /lib/firmware/*.sbcf
Unload and reload the driver module:
Code:
sudo rmmod -f i2400m-usb
sudo modprobe i2400m-usb
Check dmesg to see if the driver and the firmware fell in love and got married:
