 Posted: Tue Mar 28, 2006 10:22 am Post subject: Upgrade to kernel 2.6.15-r1 made ipw2100 stop working |
 |
|
Hello,
I have recently upgraded my kernel to the new 2.6.15-r1, but after this upgrade I have lost support of my wireless network card. Even after I had booted the old kernel, I still cannot get my wireless card to work. when I list lsmod, it shows that the ipw2100 module is loaded but, for some reason when I try to start /etc/init.d/net.eth1 it says eth1 does not exist (I guess this is because it does not find the proper driver for the card).
This problem only occured since I did the upgrade of the kernel, does anyone have a similar problem or any help to offer?
Thanks. |

Hello,
I am still having problems with this and tried a few different things. Here is the result of dmesg | grep ipw2100
| Code: |

ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
ipw2100: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection
ipw2100: eth1: Firmware 'ipw2100-1.3.fw' not available or load failed.
ipw2100: eth1: ipw2100_get_firmware failed: -2
ipw2100: eth1: Failed to power on the adapter.
ipw2100: eth1: Failed to start the firmware.

Any suggestions would be useful, thanks. |

I had this same problem after doing a emerge -Du world update.
The good people in #gentoo (such as roger55) advised me to update the configs with etc-update or dispatch-conf, then run udevstart. This fixed my problem, hope it can fix yours.
