    Yea I wanted to try your script but I kept getting connection refused. Try attaching it to your post.

    Very strange.
    I put the file on this message, and i edit the other post.

    You need to edit some vars on the file, and need to be root.

    The latest driver version 1.0.4 has fixed many bugs especially about the power management stuff: so, you'd better give it a try.
    You need hotplug and in particular the kernel option "Device Drivers -> Generic Driver Options -> Hotplug firmware loading support", that's enabled by default.
    I don't think that driver version is a problem. I guess that the hotplug support is an issue as I have to disable the hotplug to make Ubuntu boot. I am new to Linux and never build the Linux kernel before. What does this kernel option mean?

    Thanks!

    If you've never recompiled the kernel before, yours has already included that option by default, so don't worry about. Anyway, try to update the driver.

    1. Is it necessary to remove the old 2.2 firmware files? They don't get overwritten by the 2.3 files because of their different names. I removed them myself just to be sure.

    2. Both times I've tried this, after the reboot I'd find that wireless isn't working, and that "dmesg | grep ipw" would give no output. Trying "modprobe ipw2200" would show that Linux is looking in the wrong places for the files (i.e., the places that the driver "make install" installs to, as opposed to the places I moved them to afterward). Running "sudo depmod" seems to straighten things out.

    (Note, I'm not really knowledgeable about Linux I just figured #2 out from bits of prior info and trial-and-error by man-page reading. Still happy with getting everything working, though )
    Yeah, it's better to remove the old firmware files.
    About the second point, you're right, in fact, as said in the howto, you need to copy the files to one directory to another...

    Sorry, I was unclear I meant that even though I had moved the files as instructed, Linux kept looking in the wrong places until I ran depmod.

    I completely removed the old drivers and firmware and installed all of the new stuff. Here's the errors that I'm getting:

    I'm kind of stuck here, do i need to copy the source files to the /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build directory before trying to compile?

    Ok i crawled through the post and i have no clue how to make the systemlink correctly I think i have the kernel headers updated i ran this command
    Code:
    $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386

    Somehow the new firmware (2.3) and the new drivers (1.0.6) make all the difference. I had no trouble compiling them using the same settings I've been using.

    However, an old problem is popping back up. I can't connect to a WiFi router that is using DHCP and WEP. It just times out. Any suggestions?

    *EDIT* I got it working. Forgot about changing the router to Open System for WEP Authentication Type. Oops.

    Here's the beginning of the list of warnings I get when executing make. I tried changing the permissions of a lot of directories to no avail. The make and make install creates no kernel modules whatsoever.

    Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

    I rolled back to 1.0.3 and everything almost works. I am able to connect and what not, but I don't get a response when doing a ping. It does the DNS resolution, but that's all. Any suggestions?
