Thanks for your reply. My fonts are looking fine, but at some point they get distorted like the screenshots show. I tried some changes from the linked thread - fonts looked worse, situation unchanged. I don't think it is related to the problem.

Hi,

is there any progress with this issue. From time to time my fonts get messed up exactly the way the screenshots look like. It effects iceweasel and/or all the system fonts.
I am having an older laptop with an integrated intel 852/855 graphics card.

Hi at all,

I had to find some time to dig into module compilation. Here is the solution:

download the source from http://rfswitch.sourceforge.net/
install kernel headers and source and build essential
substitute &proc_root with NULL in av5100.c and pbe5.c
run make all with apropriate C parameter and variables M and SUBDIRS set for example:
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/build M=/home/makie/packages/rfswitch-1.3 SUBDIRS=/home/makie/packages/rf-switch-1.3 all
run make install
try modprobe pbe5 radio=1 and the wireless card should work

Thanks for your replies so far smile

rfkill does not work. It does not list any switches.

I allready knew about rfswitch on sourceforge. Before trying to compile it myself I was wondering if i could install the module from the repositories. My old statler installation used the same kernel and i don't why the module is not installed.
Anyway tried to compile it and it says it could not find linux/compiler.h and linux/module.h .
I have installed linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686 and linux-headers-2.6.32-5-common.

Well I guess the problem is related to the kill switch, the card driver is there and iwconfig says:

It is just switched off... I used to:

modprobe pbe5
echo 1 > /proc/pbe5/radio

and the card was switched on.

Hi,

i installed crunchbang statler R20111125 on my laptop. It ran crunchbang before but I wanted to try the new version. In order to activate my wireless card i had to load the pbe5 module.
With the new version statler keeps telling me there is no such module. I don't know which package to install, apt-file didn't find anything related to it. Thanks for your help.
