Hi friends,

I have a problem with the installation of my Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG. When starting my network interface an error occures, which says that the ipw2200 driver ist unsupported.

My configuration:
- Kernel contains the 2200 support
- 2200 firmware ist already installed
- wpa_supplicant is reemerges with the "ipw2200" use flag enabled

Content of /etc/conf.d/net:
Code:
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )

modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )

wpa_supplicant_eth1="-D ipw2200 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf"

config_Boehm=( "dhcp" )


Content of /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

ctrl_interface_group=0

ap_scan=1

network={
  ssid="mySSID"
  psk="myPassword"
  priority=5
}


The result of "/etc/init.d/net.eth1 restart" is:
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Starting eth1
* Starting wpa_supplicant on eth1 ...
Unsupported driver 'ipw2200'.

/lib/rcscripts/sh/rc-daemon.sh: line 231: 6324 Segmentation fault /sbin/start-stop-daemon '--start' '--exec' '/sbin/wpa_supplicant' '--pidfile' '/var/run/wpa_supplicant-eth1.pid' '--' '-D' 'ipw2200' '-c' '/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf' '-W' '-W' '-B' '-ieth1' '-P/var/run/wpa_supplicant-eth1.pid' [ !! ]


Do you need some more information?

What can do?

THX

As you are seem to be using the in-kernel driver, try
Code:
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dwext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf"

instead of
Code:
-D ipw2200
. That is the driver that works for me with the kernel module ipw2200.
