rfsam v0.1 » fsam7400 module in userspace

Geschrieben am von

This is the first release of the RF switch software for the Fujitsu Siemens Amilo M 7400 (and other notebooks) in userspace, so there is no need anymore to get the module compiled after kernel upgrade. 8)

You’ll need cmake to compile the sources. Download and unpack the tarball, change into the unpacked directory and use the following commands to build rfsam:

cmake .
make
make install

Now you can switch on your wireless radio by typing

rfsam on

and

rfsam off

will turn the thing off again. Have fun with your wireless device! 🙂

grab the tarball here » rfsam-0.1.tar.gz

  1. thanks for rfsam, i can build it and install it,
    but will i want to lauch it (rfsam on)
    it says me: no bios signature found

    any suggestion

    thanks a lot

  2. „no bios signature found“ means that you have incompatible hardware.
    is the fsam7400 kernel module working for you or do you need the fsam7440 module to get your wireless activated?

  3. hi, thanks for answering me

    how can i know if the kernel module work
    i think that i have to load the module manualy but i’m not sure

    thanks again

  4. Under festy and amilo M7400, I glad to say „it’s a good job, zwobbl“. It’s very easy to patch then… rfsam on!!! rfsam off!!!
    Thank’s

  5. For multimedia buttons (wireless, email, firefox, P1 and P2), have you any easy solution like fsam7400 module? (Amilo M7400 and Ubuntu Feisty Fawn).
    Thank’s
    jpn

  6. I’m not using the multimedia buttons, but the acerhk kernel module supports the buttons of the amilo M7400. it also supports toggling the wireless radio.

  7. Dear Zwobbl,

    thanks for this new program! Unfortunately, i get a segmentation fault error while executing the rfsam command. At first debugging, the error is caused by the call of the „bios_routine_call(&eax, …“ at the very end of main.c.

    Can You help me?!?

    Best regards,

    Andi

  8. Hello Zwobbl,

    I’m trying rfsam (V0.1) under my Amilo A1650G to switch ON/OFF the Wifi.
    The status led switches correctly, but I got a „segfault“ under the „bios_routine_call“.

    It’s certainly because I’ve got another model of Amilo.

    – Do you know what to do ?
    – Where can I get info about your Amilo & mine ?

    Thanks in advcance,
    Regards,
    David.

  9. With Gutsy/Amilo Pro V2000, it works fine, no problem so far. Good job, Zwobbl, thanks a lot!
