    ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation
    ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
    ipw2200: Radio Frequency Kill Switch is On:
    ipw2200: Already sending a command
    ipw2200: failed to send SCAN_REQUEST_EXT command
    as output.

    TO be honest, I have no real clue as to what I'm doing (this is day one of me using linux). How do I activate my wireless after a set it up?
    You should install the latest ipw2200 driver rather than using the old one included in Ubuntu (0.19).

    As default it got eth0 when I installed but I chose eth1 LAN card to install on. So no entry was given in interfaces for eth0 so my wireless card aint conifgured. What do you guys have in it? also It got eth0 not wlan0 or what I have seen before.
    I've got a gigabit ethernet card as eth0 and the wireless one as eth1 automatically since the installation.
    Anyway, you should be able to change the interfaces from System-->Administration-->Network.

    Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

    I now get:

    ipw2200: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_wx_set_encode
    ipw2200: Unknown symbol ieee80211_wx_set_encode
    ipw2200: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_wx_get_encode

    ipw2200: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_rx_mgt
    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?

    Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

    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.

    Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

    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

    Note that I don't use DHCP but static IP addresses.

    Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

    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.

    Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

    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.
