 |
|
Hello!
I'm still having problems with my wireless ipw2200 on my notebook (Asus M6A). I think I have tried all stuff here posted but it still doesn't work. Now i'm running gentoo on vanilla sources 2.6.15-rc5 with ipw2200 drivers compiled as modules from this kernel (I've also tried emerge and compile driver with same result).
When I load module
- lsmod:

(I have ieee80211 compiled in kernel)
I saw that module firmware_class is loaded also with ipw2200 but I have never seen it there.
- dmesg:

Here everything looks ok.
It must be problem with firmware loading because I receiving messages "Firmware error ... restarting .." when tring to connect. I have tried the rule for udev to pass the firmware to "firmware_helper" also without success.
Using udev-073 (I have tried different versions without success) and baselayout-1.12.0_pre11-r3.
Any suggestions?? Thanks!

I had a similar problem, turned out I had some files in /etc which needed updating.
After updating the conf files the firmware loaded with no errors. |

Thanks for reply. I tried etc-update and dispatch-conf if i didn't miss something but "Nothing left to do; exiting.  "... so my /etc should be up-to-date. |

Ok I compiled new kernel 2.6.15 and emerged ipw2200 and ieee80211 from portage and after some attemps of combination versions of udev and baselayout I finally got my wifi working (I have to modify udev rules as here posted)!!!
But now I have another problem. When I modprobe ipw2200 (manually) first time I boot system I get:

then I loading and unloading ipw2200 module about 4 times and then I get:

and then after some attemp it loads correctly and wifi card works.
But I would like to my wifi start easier way! |

Now I'm back on 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 kernel, udev-058, baselayout-1.11.14-r2. I have emerged ipw2200-1.0.10 and ieee80211-1.1.8. I can modprobe ipw2200 and ieee80211 modules succesfully. But when I want to connect to AP where my MAC address is tested I get "firmware error detected. restarting" and dhcp doesn't assign me IP address. I try connect another net on our campus and wifi card works without errors. Here is the output of firmware loading when turning on debug on ipw2200 module:
