How do I remove something from a blacklist

[Jreemy]

I was attempting to enable the wireless card in my laptop and I happened to blacklist the card's default driver. Well it turns out the solution didn't work in my particular case, but I need to get the driver removed from the blacklist so that it will start automatically again. Yesterday was my first day using Ubuntu by the way. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

usually things are blacklisted in the modprobe file. You can view and edit the blacklist section of this file with the command

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

usually, there is a line that says

Code: Select all

blacklist *module*

you can simply comment it out by changing it to

Code: Select all

# blacklist *module*

with a # sign, and you can remove it if you want it blacklisted again. to blacklist an item, just add a blacklist line in the format above.

I can also agree with vinca. I've also recently had to unblacklist some stuff, not for wireless though.
