 |
|
today i noticed that as gentoo started to boot it stopped for quite a while in a line saying
| Quote: |
firmware: requesting ipw2200-bss.fw
|
So i tried to see what was this and i found that
| Quote: |
ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.2.2kd
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
firmware: requesting ipw2200-bss.fw
ipw2200: ipw2200-bss.fw request_firmware failed: Reason -2
ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2
ipw2200: failed to register network device
ipw2200: probe of 0000:06:03.0 failed with error -5
|
I tried to search for this ipw2200-bss.fw firmware but i don't have it in my system
please,anyone has any idea?
thanks in advance

Are you sure that he cannot use the one from portage ?
| Code: |
# emerge -av net-wireless/ipw2200-firmware
|
Can you post this plz :
For the record, it's the same version from the sourceforge site : http://www.gentoo-portage.com/net-wireless/ipw2200-firmware |

Ok, first thing first.
Can you double check your kernel to see if you have this :
| Code: |
Section Network support --> Wireless
{M} Improved wireless configuration API
[*] nl80211 new netlink interface support (NEW)
-*- Wireless extensions
[*] Wireless extensions sysfs files (NEW)
<M> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)
Rate control algorithm selection --->
[ ] Enable mac80211 mesh networking (pre-802.11s) support (NEW)
[*] Enable LED triggers
[ ] Export mac80211 internals in DebugFS (NEW)
[ ] Select mac80211 debugging features (NEW) --->
<M> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (DEPRECATED)
[ ] Enable full debugging output (NEW)
<M> IEEE 802.11 WEP encryption (802.1x)
<M> IEEE 802.11i CCMP support
<M> IEEE 802.11i TKIP encryption
|
After that, go to Device Driver --> Network Device Support --> Wireless LAN
| Code: |
[*] Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11)
<M> Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG Network Connection
|
After that, recompile your box and reboot.
After that run this :
| Code: |
# emerge -av net-wireless/ipw2200-firmware
|
Reboot your box again and run :
| Code: |
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
# dmesg | grep -i ipw
|

Hi, can you post this :
| Code: |
# cd /usr/src/linux
# cat .config | grep -i ipw
|
I want to see if your ipw2200 is set. |

For the crypto, double check that you have this :
| Code: |
Section Cryptographic options
(*) Cryptographic algorithm manager
(M) SHA1 digest algorithm
(M) SHA256 digest algorithm
(M) ECB support
(M) CBC support
(M) PCBC support
(*) AES cipher algorithms
(*) AES cipher algorithms (i586)
(*) ARC4 cipher algorithm
(*) Michael MIC keyed digest algorithm

You need to re-emerge your sources, you should not be getting "No rule to make target" errors in the Linux kernel.
Save your .config first. |

| You need to enable the option and after that you need to recompile your kernel and copy the bzImage to your /boot. |

| i wrote it before,when i try to enable any of this options about pro wireless and 802.11 protocol it gives me a make error.i can't compile my kernel if i have anything in my kernel enabled of the above.so i don't know what to do else in order to let me compile my kernel.is it safe to recompile gentoo sources,i haven't done it,i didn't have problem before compiling my kernel.plesae i must solve this and don't know what to do |

Hi, can you try this :
Copy your .config from /usr/src/linux
| Code: |
# cp /usr/src/linux/.config /root/.config
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make clean
# cp /root/.config /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig
# time make && make modules_install
|
Recompile your box and retry. |
