This is for thinkpad z61t. I am running kernel 2.6.19-r5. I have compiled ipw2200 successfully as a module. When I modprobe the device, I get the following in dmesg

Code:

ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, git-1.1.13
ieee80211: Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Intel Corporation <jketreno@linux.intel.com>
ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.1.4k
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation


lsmod shows the module as well. When I do iwconfig, I get

Code:

eth0      no wireless extensions.

lo        no wireless extensions.

dummy0    no wireless extensions.


I have soft-linked eth1 in /etc/conf.d, but no matter what I do (udevconfig, ifconfig, iwconfig) I don't see the device. I have updated /etc/conf.d/net to have the following

Code:
modules=( "dhcpcd" )
modules=( "iwconfig" )
config_eth0=( "dhcpcd" )
config_eth1=( "dhcpcd" )
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10"
dhcpcd_eth1="-t 10"

essid_eth1="any"
mode_eth1="auto"
adhoc_essid_eth1="WLAN"
channel_eth1="3"
sleep_scah_eth1="1"


But I don't think that matters give there is no device found. Now, I do now that there is a kill switch for the wireless on the front, and I DO have that on.

Regular ethernet (eth0, Tigon) works just fine. Any help appreciated.
