I have a Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG
I have installed IPW2200 with emerge ipw2200
I have also emerge wireless-tools
right now whenever I do an ifconfig I only see eth0 my ethernet card. I do not see my wireless card.
my net file
| Code: |
config_eth0=("dhcp")
dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis"
config_eth1=("dhcp")
dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis"
modules=("iwconfig")
key_ESSID1="[1] s:0****************** [i] end open"
preferred_aps("ESSID1")
config_ESSID1=("dhcp") |

Are the modules loaded?What does dmesg say when you do load the modules? Any errors in syslog?
BTW, If you use 2.6.15 kernel then you don't need the ipw2200 or ieee80211 packages installed, only the firmware. |

Is there a place that shows make I need to have selected on the make menuconfig?
I have
Device Drivers --> Network device support --> Wireless Lan drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions seletected.
And i have AES cipher algorithms installed.
lsmod | grep ipw
I do have an eth1 pointed to lo... but whenever I started it, it says device not exist
Can some provide more info?
One more thing, my wireless is active. I booted into windows and it works. I havn't disabled with with Fn F2
Thanks you all |

I have all these modules installed
Device Drivers -> Networking Support -> Wireless LAN -> Wireless LAN drivers & wireless extensions
Cryptographic options -> Cryptographic API
Cryptographic options -> AES cipher algorithms
Cryptographic options -> ARC4 cipher algorithm
Cryptographic options -> Michael MIC keyed digest algorithm
Cryptographic options -> CRC32c CRC algorithm
I have done modeprobe ipw2200. when I try iwconfig eth1, I get no such device |

well after a lot of playing around with everything I finally figured it out.
There is a ipw2200 driver that comes with the kernel. However, that driver is "hidden". You have to go into Device Drivers -> Networking Support -> Wireless LAN -> Wireless LAN drivers & wireless extensions and select the one the last pci driver for it to appear. Make sure you include the selection that allows you to update the firmware.
Make sure you don't do emerge ipw2200.. If you did --unmerge it.
After you hame done the makes and cps you need to do
emerge ipw2200-firmware
once you have have don that you can restart, and your wireless device will show up.
Wish there was a more detailed explanantion on how to do this. |
