When I SFTP over wireless in either direction the remote stops responding. My wi-fi router is only Wireless-G but i don't understand why network traffic over wireless would interfere with the ASROCK remote. Anyone else have this happen or confirm that it happens on their end?
If you toss a guide at me on how to setup wireless I'll set mine up and see if I get the same. My wireless is N though.

Nevermind, found a guide and setting it up now.

Uhm, getting "E: Couldn't find package wpasupplicant" for all the packages I'm trying to install. I'm just gonna leave it for now then.

Agreed! Rule of thumb...if you got everything working like you want...DON'T EXPERIMENT! I've found out the hard way a few times.

Weird thing is I can stream 720p perfectly over wireless-g. So that would suggest that network bandwidth is not affecting the remote operation.

P.S. here is what I did to get my wireless up and running:

right complaining to Asrock as the adverse effect of canned replies I reminded them about the
Code:
W83677HG-I is the motherboard chipset controller which has no Linux driver.  lm-sensors reports it but no drivers exist.
their reply

Code:
Dear Sir~
Thank you for contacting ASRock.
  
We did install the Ubuntu 9.10 for testing on our side.
The system and the function could works without problems on our  side.
  
Please kindly try to use the Ubuntu opensource update to update the  driver.
  
Kind Regards,
ASRock TSD
Now how can the guy reply that about this since I know for a fact there is no drivers for this chip?

I would not only continue pestering past level one support which I am willing to bet they never tested anything and just trying to blame it on something else.

I have sent replies to both emails and will continue pestering them since they are the ones who should fix it.

I cant stress to you guys enough if you dont keep pressuring Asrock you wont get a result and not only so this is what we done so that the drivers would be coded and released only they made it a bodge job.


If it isn't broke don't fix it.


Don´t know - binky11 - 2009-12-31

Don´t know if you already know, but the remote driver is there for the remote controller: http://europe.asrock.com/downloadsite/drivers/Nettop/Ubuntu/IR(9.10).zip


- X3lectric - 2009-12-31

@ binky11 days ago thx but its not that we dont have the correct drivers its a setup vs bug issue now. Last run and then just use it.

To all that in time and gone past it

Happy New Year.
[SIZE=2]enjoy it with a bug free well setup Asrock

Runing sudo dpkg -i lirc-nct677x-x64-1.0.1-ubuntu9.10.deb

give this output:

Only thing I found out from this output is that the lirc_wb677 module is not loaded correct.

Maybe I need to compile the module from src. Just have to figure out how dkms works first.

Hello, I've encountered the same problem on a x32 kernel.

Additional information:

Code:
xbmc@xbmc-box:/etc/lirc$ modprobe lirc_wb677
FATAL: Error inserting lirc_wb677 (/lib/modules/2.6.28-17-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_wb677/lirc_wb677.ko): Operation not permitted

So I'm wondering, whether the modules are even supposed to run on Jaunty...

Did you find a fix / workaround _ml_ ?


- _ml_ - 2010-01-02

Rayd: Are you running as root when you get "Operation not permitted"?
I upgraded to 9.10 and then remote started working. So with Jaunty kernel x64 the CIR driver 1.0.1 does not work tested both from bin and src.


- stinkupuss - 2010-01-03

It seems if you want to use the ION330 HT wi-fi for more than scraping or weather then the asrock remote is useless.

Browsing samba in XBMC or navigating the UI while SFTP'ing causes the remote to stop responding.

Running rtorrent in the background, 1 torrent going at about 50k down and 30k up and the remote starts responding maybe 1 in 10 button presses in XBMC or irw. Kill rtorrent and it starts working again. So frustration.

I sent asrock and nuvoton an email about this.

Looks like i gotta dual boot Sad

will Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" Minimal CD work now ?
or should I restart and load Jaunty ?
I am trying ... http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=55282

I have a ASRock 330HT.


- stinkupuss - 2010-01-05

Personally i tried evey different type of install method/guide and found XBMCbuntu the best by far using karmic. Everything working smoothly (except for the remote issues above).

Does anyone have a copy of the 1.0.1 64 bit drivers? All of the links that I can find seem to go to the version 1.0.2 drivers, which seem to have autorepeat set waaaay to quickly...


- X3lectric - 2010-01-06

heres a copy of the 1.0.1 drivers the whole lot of them as distributed by Asrock.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/y2nmm22umtj/IR(9.10).zip

@ shiftybugger I suspect v1.0.2 they prolly addressing the drivers going unresponsive arbitrarily a bug they (Asrock) maintain does not exist on their test rigs which IMO they (Asrock) dont actually test in real world conditions or actually at all. There is still missing the motherboard chipset drivers which control/monitor fans, voltages etc I urge ppl to ask Asrock for the drivers and help push them to get the drivers released. However it is true dont upgrade to the 1.0.2 version it is as shiftybugger describes. Please even if not installing report it as a bug to Asrock.

On a side note I read in some posts that people seem to think that start system from shutdown is somehow linked to the lirc drivers, if anyone that believes this is reading, my advice to them is to actually understand this is impossible. (period) this is a bios bug (something to do with power not reaching the CIR header again arbitrarily, I measured it in one occasion and there was ziltch volts when the remote failed to bring system out of total shutdown.

Again guys hope you get your HT's and normal 330's all nice and sorted by now, both Karmic and Jaunty. Despite Karmic's kernel's shortcomings the systems should work relatively normally. Unless of course your fixing what isnt broke or dont have a proper working install being it 100% manual, with script aid or xbmclive.

for the total n00bs or for others that just lazy or cant be bothered I recommend the XBMClive install disk (download FUSBI and create a USB install disk of XBMCLive camelot to get it installed if your having problems installing it from Disk as I was for testing purposes even the repack has issues for me) and remember if it inst broke don't fix it

The wireless vs remote not working makes absolutely no sense logically, theoretically or samba browsing vs remote, while my Lirc drivers only stopped responding on resume (fixed with Lirc resume script) or from total shutdown (which is a bios bug) the only thing that ocurres to me is that power is not going through to CIR header constantly which could be related to bios or a possible fault with the LM317T Variable Voltage Regulator. if you are a bit of a geek and have the KNOW HOW and found that it is faulty you can buy these for about a £1 and replace it or alternatively (recommended) send it for RMA or replace it completely.

Since these whole machines family were assembled in China it's a big oops regardless if most of the components are made in Japan.

Thanks for the link X3. Version 1.0.1 drivers installed and working well.
