When I'm trying to get information about the rtl8192cu kernel module
that is needed from my USB Wireless Adapter,
sudo modinfo rtl8192cu | grep 17AB
I get the following error:
libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod.c:505
kmod_lookup_alias_from_builtin_file: could not open builtin file
'/lib/modules/2.6.39.4-4/modules.builtin.bin'
ERROR: Module rtl8192cu not found.
Whta could be the problem here?
