Just make a search for ipw2200.ko and ieee80211*.ko modules and delete them; then install the latest driver.
Just make a search for ipw2200.ko and ieee80211*.ko modules and delete them; then install the latest driver.
when I do locate ipw2200.ko, I only get one location, /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200/ipw2200.ko, which is where I just installed it. same with iee80211
Are you sure they are the right new modules and not the old ones? Look at the date of the files and check...
ok, so, when I dmesg | grep ipw now, I get
ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.3
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
which, I assume, is what I want to get. so, I've set up my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file. But, I cant get on with my wireless network still, even after I sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D ipw -w -dd
.
(WHich I get
Initializing interface 'eth1' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver 'ipw'

WHat else is thre that could be wrong?
I'm feeling pretty stupid at the moment. When I attempt from a root terminal
I get an error to the effect ofCode:sudo tar xvzf ipw2200-1.0.3.tgz cd ipw2200-1.0.3 make sudo make installI foolishly attempted to make the directory (this is my 2nd distro and 4th day of trying to get wireless working so this was out of sheer desperation lol) and the error I got wasCode:make -C /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build SUBDIRS=/ipw2200-1.0.3 modules make *** /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build: No such file or directory.

Respectfully,

Edit: I couldn't run the command string found in the install file, ubuntu didn't like the "do" argument? I did manually remove the instances of ipw and ieee80211 though. I rebooted and did the modprobe and dmesg and came up with 0 instances of either module.
It looks like ok.Originally Posted by DLM
Are you sure you don't have any other protection on your router such as MAC Address filtering?
If you disable WPA, are you able to connect?
As said in some previous posts, you have to install the packages: build essentials, kernel hearders.Originally Posted by radhaz

I was having the same problem as RazHat here, except I'm using the AMD64 version.
Okay, so I installed build essentials and kernel headers and linux source and whatnot, and I set up my symbolic links and everything, and now instead of the one error message, I get about FIFTY GRILLION compiler errors if I use make.
And my card isn't working with the built-in .19 driver at all! It's not even showing up as eth1.
What do I do?

Are the packages you've installed for AMD64? Especially the kernel headers...
Why, of course not!Originally Posted by luca_linux
Okay, so I got the CORRECT packages and it compiled and installed and modprobed without a problem. It even shows up in that Network Settings thing now. The only problem is that it doesn't actually work, and in the Network Settings thingy it shows it as grayed out with the message "The interface eth1 is not configured". When I dmesg | grep ipw I don't get any error messages, either.
Did I miss something? (It's not the firmware, I installed that).
Edit: NEvermind, I fixed it. I had to configure it. This should have been obvious to me earlier, but it's been a LONG day. Sorry.
