Ok finally figured it out, I had to remove all the old modules BEFORE I installed the new drivers! Doh!

It just too much.Originally Posted by tomasvilda
All I want is to run "sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D ipw -w -dd " before the wireless interface up. Is there anyway to do it?
Thx
Just create a script with that line and put it under /etc/init.d

edit /etc/default/wpasupplicant to activate the wpasupplicant during boot.
Here I attatched my configuration file :
Although the wpasupllicant can be run automatically during boot, I still have to reactivate the wireless card in the network configuration. Can anyone help?# /etc/default/wpasupplicant
# WARNING! Make sure you have a configuration file!
ENABLED=1
# Useful flags:
# -D <driver> Wireless Driver
# -i <ifname> Interface (required, unless specified in config)
# -c <config file> Configuration file
# -d Debugging (-dd for more)
# -w Wait for interface to come up
OPTIONS="-w -D madwifi -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd"
Thanks
Please look few posts higher there is links to other Tutorial IPW2200 + WPA with startup script.
Thanks for the HOWTO luca_linux. However I'm having the same problem as meesmany. I have an IBM ThinkPad T41 with an ipw2100. I downloaded the latest firmware and source for ipw2100. Copied the firmware to the right folder, compiled the drivers and copied them to the right folder. Installed and configured wpasupplicant.conf just like you mentioned with my own essid and psk ofcourse but I can't get my card to associate with my LinkSys WAG54G ap. Here is the output from some commands:
I even tried setting my essid manually using iwconfig eth1 essid my-essid to no avail. I disabled WPA on my AP and was able to connect just fine using iwconfig.Code:firas@ibm-t41:~$ dmesg | grep ipw2100 ipw2100: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver, 1.1.0 ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation ipw2100: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection firas@ibm-t41:~$ sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D ipw -w -dd Initializing interface 'eth1' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver 'ipw' Configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' -> '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' Reading configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' Line: 1 - start of a new network block ssid - hexdump_ascii(len=11): 61 6c 72 61 67 6f 6d 2d 6e 65 74 my-essid proto: 0x1 scan_ssid=1 (0x1) key_mgmt: 0x2 PSK (ASCII passphrase) - hexdump_ascii(len=15): [REMOVED] PSK (from passphrase) - hexdump(len=32): [REMOVED] Priority group 0 id=0 ssid='my-essid' Daemonize.. firas@ibm-t41:~$ iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. eth1 unassociated ESSID:off/any Nickname:"ipw2100" Mode:Managed Channel=0 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Bit Rate=0 kb/s Tx-Power:off Retry:on RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Can anyone shed any light on this problem ? I'm really getting desperate here, I've spent days on this with no luck.
And a little off topic here. How can I disable IPv6 on my laptop (the sit0 interface) permanently ?
Forgive me, but how would one go about doing this?Originally Posted by luca_linux
*EDIT* nevermind, I figured it out. but now, when I dmesg | grep ipw, I get ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 0.19
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?

What do I type in my interfaces file in /etc/network/ for the wireless card?
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.
