 |
|
Hi!
I'm trying to get my wireless network running on my ThinkPad T42.
I'm using wap_supplicant, and when I try to connect to the
base station, I get the following messages in my log:
| Code: |
failed to send WEP_KEY command
failed to send SSID command.
Firmware error detected. Restarting
Firmware error detected. Restarting.
|
In the console, I get the following messages:

| If you got it with the "custom" 802.11a/b/g card (Atheros chipset) you need to emerge madwifi-driver. |

Hi!
Thanks for your answers!
The ThinkPad T42 has an Intel PRO Wireless 2200 BG network card.
dellaxim:
I tried to avoid ndiswrapper, but I will give it a try.
pdr:
Since I don't have an Ateros chipset (as far as I know), I think it's not
necessary, but I will try this, too!
Thanks!  |

I have a new R51 with intel BG2200 wireless card and it works fine using the beta drivers from sourceforge.
emerge ipw2200
When you emerge this, it checks you have the required crypto options compiled in your kernel, so a kernel recompile maybe necessary.
I found the instructions in a thread do a search for ipw2200 or thinkpad or R51 (T42) or something similar.
Incidentally, I have this working with WEP. I use the following to connect in a script because I dont have the router broadcasting its essid.
iwconfig eth1 ap myapsmacaddress
iwconfig eth1 essid mywirelessroutersname
iwconfig eth1 key myhexkey
dhcpcd eth1
Hope this helps you.
Thanks, Code Monkey
PS. I will watch this thread and provide further help if you require it. |
