 |
|
Hi,
I updated my kernel today from 2.6.7-r12 to 2.6.8-r3, and then I played around with the ipw2100 driver. The 0.44 worked under 2.6.7, I tried the 0.54 today, got it compiled but after loading the driver I still could not get eth1 to run, the device was not there. So I tried going back to 0.44 but when I emerge it, I get "No such file or directory" messages:
| Code: |

Does anyone know, why I am getting these? Under 2.6.7 it worked without problems. I already tried re-emerging wireless-tools and hostap-driver with the new kernel, but without a change.
Any help would be appreciated. |

enabling acceppt_keywords="~x86" and then emerging ipw2100 helped and i can modprobe the modul
everythign seems fine

I figured out at least the difference. In the source directory of the 2.6.7 kernel there is in include/linux a file called "802_11.h". When I build the 2.6.8 with the same .config file, this file is missing. That's why the driver complains. I don't really know, why this file is missing in the new kernel.
Do you get your card up and running with the 0.54 version of the ipw2100 driver? I can modprobe it, but then just the wireless led of my thinkpad lights up, but ifconfig doesn't know anything about the device. |

I think I have the same problem:
I modprobe 0.54 ip2100. I get the error:
ipw2100_hw_send_command timed out.
It stopped working out of the blue.... |
