 Posted: Thu Jun 03, 2004 4:45 pm Post subject: dell 600m and the intel 2200bg internal wireless |
 |
|
joyful joyful, I've been working at this for about a week or so trying many various things, and have finally decided that i need some help to get this working, under gentoo. I know a few of you have the dell 600m (wonderful laptop btw for those who are interested in it) and have gotten it to work fine with it.
So I've come asking for a bit of help. To get started well under linux now for some reason the wireless card is turned off because under ndiswrapper -l i see
Installed ndis drivers:
w22n51
So, i have the inf loaded but as you can see the card isn't present. Under the bios i have it where its application/fn+f2 and on on the sub menu of that. For a while it was on by default so i'm not sure what changed there.

TSC cannot be used as a timesource.
Possible reasons for this are:
You're running with Speedstep,
You don't have DMA enabled for your hard disk (see hdparm),
Incorrect TSC synchronization on an SMP system (see dmesg).
Falling back to a sane timesource now.

It's been ages since I messed with this stuff, and I have the 2100 card instead of the 2200, but I had a similar problem at one point. It's now working, and I can't exactly remember what I had to do to resolve it. Here's a copy of my /etc/modules.d/ndiswrapper (run modules-update after editing, of course).
| Code: | # Options for ndiswrapper.
#
# Set this alias to some device. Usually wlan0 unless you've got more than one
# wireless card.
alias wlan0 ndiswrapper
# loadndisdriver requires 4 parameters.
#
# Uncomment the following line after you've replaced "REPLACE"
# to the directory in /etc/ndiswrapper created by running with the path to the
# Windows(tm) .inf file:
#
# ndiswrapper -i /lib/wlan/w70n51.inf
install ndiswrapper /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ndiswrapper && { loadndisdriver /etc/ndiswrapper/w70n51 ; }

I remember needing to try a couple different versions of the windows driver before I found one that worked. |
