You should install the latest ipw2200 driver rather than using the old one included in Ubuntu (0.19).Quote:

I now get:

ipw2200: Unknown symbol ieee80211_rx_mgt
when I type "dmesg | grep ipw" I have rebooted but it's still the same :(
In /lib/moduels/kernelversion/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ I have 4 iee80211_crypt*.ko files and ieee80211.ko and in wireless/ipw2200 I have the ipw2200.ko file but it doesnt work. Anyone know what it might be?
As already said, it's due to the presence of old modules...you should remove all the modules ipw2200.ko and ieee80211*.ko and then install the latest driver again and copy them as said in the howto.
ok thanks will try. I have them compiled in another directory so it will be easy. Again to the interfaces file. What do you have in yours there for your wireless nick? I'm going to run with WPA and if I use wpa_supplicant I put my wpa_psk in another file than interfaces so I dont know what to have in my interfaces file. is it just ip, gateway, subnet or is what goes there?
EDIT: found the problem, the modules should go in wireless/ieee81102/ and not straight into wireless as I did :) glad I found it, still dont know what to do about the interfaces file though.
Here's my interfaces file (/etc/network/interfaces):
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.
# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.
mapping hotplug
script grep
map eth1
iface eth0 inet static
address x.x.x.x
netmask x.x.x.x
gateway x.x.x.x
iface eth1 inet static
address x.x.x.x
netmask x.x.x.x
gateway x.x.x.x
wireless-essid MyEssid
auto eth1
ah thanks will try it.Quote:

I do aswell I'm using NAT. I got it to work. Think of that :) I have to topy in "sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D ipw -w -dd" everytime I reboot though. Now it's just time to make some personal notes so I dont have to get all these prolems next time thanks for all your help.
so, now I need to install my old driver that came with ubuntu.
% for i in ieee80211 ipw2200; do \
find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -iname ${i}*; done
is what I'm told to do. But what exactly does this mean?
It's not a command, except for the 'find'. what exactly do the above ines mean?
(once again, sorry, excuse my lack of any real knowledge :-\)
And thanks for being patient with m.
