Installing Ubuntu 7.04 on Laptop Acer Aspire

Hari ini mau menuliskan pengalaman install Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty fawn di laptop acer aspire seri 3684NWXMi.
Sebenarnya sudah lama mau menliskan ke blog ini tetapi berhubung kesibukan kerja dan juga kerjaan di luar dan ditunjang ketidakadaan koneksi maka hal ini jadi terlupakan.

So, sekarang ini saya coba me-recall kembali ingatan beberapa bulan yang lalu untuk dituangkan disini.
Berikut spesifikasi Acer Aspire 364NWXMi

– Intel Celeron M Processor 440 (1.86Ghz, 533 Mhz FSB, 1MB L2 cache)
- 14.1″ WXGA CrystalBrite LCD
- Mobile Intel 940 GML Express Chipset
- 80GB HDD
- DVD-Super Multi Double Layer (support DVD+R Double LayerDVD+-RW)
- 512MB DDR2
- 802.11b/g wireless LAN

Instalasi berjalan mulus tanpa hambatan tetapi ada beberapa hardware tidak dapat bekerja secara langsung seperti;
- modem
- wireless LAN
- Webcam

Berikut prosedurnya. Buka terminal dan copy/paste langkah dibawah:

1. Download ndiswrapper (v1.47) source code dan AR5007EG Windows drivers:

wget http://blakecmartin.googlepages.com/atheros-ar5007eg-installer-0.1b.tar.gz

2. Extract ke folder (saya extract ke /usr/ocal/src)

sudo tar xvf atheros-ar5007eg-installer-0.1b.tar.gz -C /usr/local/src

3. pastikan kernel headers terpasang. Copy dan paste perntah berikut

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential

4. Blacklist ath_pci kernel module

echo “blacklist ath_pci” | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

5. Compile ndiswrapper:

cd /usr/local/src/atheros-ar5007eg-installer-0.1b/ndiswrapper-1.47/
sudo make uninstall
make
sudo make install

6. Install the Windows drivers (using ndiswrapper):

cd /usr/local/src/ atheros-ar5007eg-installer-0.1b/ar5007eg/
sudo ndiswrapper -i net5211.inf

7. Pastikan ndiswrapper selalu ter-load saat Linux start-up:

sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
echo “ndiswrapper” | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

8. Restart komputer

sudo init 6

9. Buka terminal, ketik

iwconfig

Jika terdapat hasilnya maka WLAN tersebut diprobe sebagai ‘wlan0′
Tinggal konfigurasi seperti biasa.

Sedangkan untuk webcam dapat dilakukan dengan ekiga dan pstikan parameter berikut terkonfigurasi di ekiga;
masuk ke ekiga, klik tab EDIT-PREFERENCES-Video Dvices dan pastikan nilainya sbb;

- Video Plugin: V4L2

Sedangkan untuk modem belum dioprek
