Farter recently figured out a way to emulate the RGB framebuffer that Linux uses from the YuY buffer that Wii uses. The link is on the GC-Linux's newsspace on the front page. The problem is that I've been having trouble trying to get it to work because of depmod insisiting on using /lib/modules/2.6.43-isobell-wii rather then the RGB kernel's folder. And its frustrating me to no end that I can't run Wlan0.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?29,67238,67238#msg-67238Tue, 16 Jun 2026 11:52:38 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?29,67238,73603#msg-73603 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?29,67238,73603#msg-73603this blog entry. If that is the kernel you're referring to then you should ask Farter for permission to re-host (he does still check comments on his blog). Or you can try my kernel and if it works for your purposes then you're free to share it in any way you like. It's got Farter's patch included.]]> fishears Wii LinuxFri, 23 Aug 2013 10:00:17 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?29,67238,73559#msg-73559 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?29,67238,73559#msg-73559
My question is this: Would I be allowed to copy the relevant binaries to ubuntuone.com and link to them for the newest Ubuntu Wii guide? Are there legal or other considerations barring this?]]> q885 Wii LinuxFri, 16 Aug 2013 05:15:44 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?29,67238,73268#msg-73268 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?29,67238,73268#msg-732681) Add it to the list of modules to be initialized on boot (as mentioned above)
2) Add "modprobe b43" to /etc/rc.local before the exit line and make it executable (Option #1 is better)
3) Compile a kernel with the b43 module built-in]]> DeltaResero Wii LinuxThu, 11 Jul 2013 04:59:32 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?29,67238,73228#msg-73228 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?29,67238,73228#msg-73228 fishears Wii LinuxMon, 08 Jul 2013 08:53:17 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?29,67238,67365#msg-67365 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?29,67238,67365#msg-67365First off you need to run modprobe b43 each time to get wifi working. Anyone know how to automate this?
The false buffer works well, though I still have to use fluxbox instead of lxde.
Maybe more improvement is needed?]]> Novaheart Wii LinuxSun, 24 Jul 2011 01:49:07 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?29,67238,67307#msg-67307 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?29,67238,67307#msg-67307To get the best network adapter compatibility you need to run it from or as bootmii, when executed from the Homebrew Channel the wifi adapter might not be detected.

It happened to me, and what I did was set up the wireless lan using the network configuration tool and then I edited the configuration file and replaced wlan0 with wlan2 (which was the name my interface was detected)
Keep us up on your progress with the RGB framebuffer
