    Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

    Hello Master$hake,

    In your last post : http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost...&postcount=481

    Works great on my Dell 6000 can now connect to my schools network with a little variation of this. Instead of making all these scripts to start wpa I downloaded network selector panel applet so I can choose which network I want to connect to since they all use the same credentials.
    Great Job man
    Where I can obtain a copy of yr mentioned network selector panel applet?

    Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

    Hello e-blade,

    In post #556 http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost...&postcount=556
    I solved the "problem". More a lack of brain activity. The reason why ppl get the 'make' error following this guide is because the linus-header files doesnt match your kernel version. In my case i searched repositories/google and found the linux-headers-2.6.12-10_2.6.12-10.26_i386.deb and linux-headers-2.6.12-10-386_2.6.12-10.26_i386.

    It will solve your problem as long as your headers match the kernel version. Also note that the first file i listed above has to be installed first.
    In case you dont know how to install debian files, open your terminal window and type:

    sudo dpkg -i package_file.deb
    (1) How can I tell which kernel version I have on my ubuntu breezy 5.10?
    (2) Can you provide the url for downloading the headers?

    Many thanks.

    From post #558:
    Hi guys.
    Sorry, I haven't been on the forum for awhile, a long while.
    Now I am.
    I think I'll update my HowTo within the next 2 days.
    Anyway, here's a tip: if you want to get ipw2200 and WPA to work on a system running kernel >= 2.6.13, you'll need to change the driver interface in wpa_supplicant from "ipw" to "wext".

    Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

    Hello Aktizol,

    With your post #568 & #569, would you still advice others to try the install script described in your previous thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...78&postcount=1

    Are these 2 are different problems?

    Appreciate your clarification.

    I am using ubuntu breezy 5.10 and trying to follow luca's how-to but hitting problems at the moment. I am going this huge thread (pagesss) to find a solution to my problem.

    Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

    Hello,

    I read thru the whole 60pages. I decided to use the latest:
    ieee80211-1.1.12
    ipw2200-1.1.0
    ipw2200-fw-2.4
    Kernel version = 2.6.12-10-386
    gcc 3.4
    on Dell Inspiron 6000 with InterProset 2200BG

    I then followed Luca_linux's Howto exactly.

    Also, after make & install ieee80211-1.1.12, I did the copy to wireless sub-dir
    cp /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/net/ieee80211/ieee80211* /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ieee80211/
    Then I continue to make & install the rest.

    I edited /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to contain below before I reboot the notebook.

    ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
    ctrl_interface_group=0

    eapol_version=1
    ap_scan=1
    fast_reauth=1

    ### Associate with any open access point
    ### Scans/ESSID changes can be done with wpa_cli
    network={
    ssid=""
    key_mgmt=NONE
    }

    network={
    ssid="WoodlandsSGHome"
    scan_ssid=1
    proto=WPA
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    psk="D5D6B899E6766C3B36B46A1223"
    }
    After reboot, I checked the network adpaters status thru the [Administrator]->[Networks], and found the wireless was not activated. I then activated manual through the network screen.

    I then did the command as per Luca's dmesg and it showed below status and seemed ok to me.
    boon@ubuntu:~$ dmesg | grep ipw
    [4294702.726000] ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.1.0

    [4294703.390000] ipw2200: Detected geography ZZD (13 802.11bg channels, 0 802.11 a channels)
    Then, I executed the wpa_supplicant command as per Luca's:
    boon@ubuntu:~$ sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D ipw -w -dd
    The command results are:
    Initializing interface 'eth1' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver 'ipw'
    Configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' -> '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'

    Priority group 0
    id=0 ssid=''
    id=1 ssid='WoodlandsSGHome'
    Daemonize..
    I then checked the eth1. Sadly the status showed disconnected.

    Then, I followed Luca's suggestion to take out the "-w" flag in the wpa_supplicant command and reran it.

    boon@ubuntu:~$ sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D ipw -dd
    The results:
    Initializing interface 'eth1' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver 'ipw'

    You may have another wpa_supplicant process already running or the file was

    to manually remove this file before starting wpa_supplicant again.

    From the look at it, not very good. I then checked the network adapter status. It is still disconnected.

    Can anyone see where is the problem? Appreciate very much.

    Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

    I'm going insane trying to get my wireless to work. I'm using a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo V2000, been through every point in here, and it won't even pick up a wireless network?! Should this happen even with the basic Ubuntu driver?

    I don't understand how to get past the "make" issue. I'm not sure what e-blade meant that searching through my repositories is going to solve my problem. I feel like I'm missing about 8 steps.

    Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

    Hello Woifi,

    Replying yr post #576 http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost...&postcount=576

    Which is you gcc version? I was reading the earlier thread that only gcc 3.4 would be able to have the compatible symbol table for ipw2200 compilation.

    If you are not sure, I suggest you to try menu [System]->[Administrator]->[Synaptic Package Manager] and search for "gcc" to see which gcc version you have. If gcc 3.4 & gcc 3.4(base) are not installed, then I suggest you try install them & restart the installation procedure as luca's.

    Good luck

    ok i solve it by:

    sudo sh remove-old
    sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net/ieee80211
    sudo rm -rf /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include/net/ieee80211*
    sudo rm -rf /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include/config/ieee80211*
