HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

Problem solved in Windows by disabling/enabling MAC filter on the router
( don't even ask how that comes! :p )

Now, in Kubuntu, it still doesn't work :-(

The card gets recognized, but

Code:

jochus@bacardi:~$ dmesg | grep -i intel [4294667.296000] ACPI: FADT (v001 INTEL ALVISO 0x06040000 LOHR 0x0000005f) @ 0x3fee9e88 [4294667.296000] ACPI: MADT (v001 INTEL ALVISO 0x06040000 LOHR 0x0000005f) @ 0x3fee9efc [4294667.296000] ACPI: MCFG (v001 INTEL ALVISO 0x06040000 LOHR 0x0000005f) @ 0x3fee9f9c [4294667.296000] ACPI: DSDT (v001 INTEL ALVISO 0x06040000 MSFT 0x0100000e) @ 0x00000000 [4294671.448000] CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz stepping 08 [4294686.686000] agpgart: Detected an Intel 915GM Chipset.

... now, there's something wrong with my eth1

Code:

jochus@bacardi:~$ dmesg | grep eth1 [4294693.947000] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready

What could be the problem?

ipw2200-1.0.6 code bug

Hello,

When going through the make of ipw2200:

Code:

cd ipw2200-1.0.6 make

The following output is given:

Code:

Notice the message: ipw2200.c:10748: error: 'struct iw_handler_def' has no member named 'spy_offset'.

This is obviously an error in the script, right?

Bruno.

Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

Hello Bruno,

this is not an error in the source code of the driver.

As you are trying to compile the driver with kernel version 2.6.15, you should use a more recent version of the IPW source code. ipw2200-1.0.6 is a little outdated.

Please use
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/#downloads
to download the newest driver and
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php
in order to download the according firmware.

Or... upgrade your Ubuntu installation to Dapper Drake ;)

Good Luck
Carsten

Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

Funny I'm getting the same error about eth1 link not ready. This is a brand new install of edgy, I riped out the org ipw2200 ieee and ipw2200 firmware, download new drivers off SF and installed them.

this was in my dmesg using the original drivers

Any ideas anybody? I'm fresh out

forgot to add my /etc/network/interfaces and iwconfig output

cat /etc/network/interfaces

Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

Hmmmm..... lots of questions and not many answers. Luca has moved on to his own website with its own forum. I think it might be time to move this thread over there. I can't get wireless to work either BTW; but I am using Elive so its an entirely different set of problems.

Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

ok, my mistake ;) ... wrong driver.
sorry ;)

Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

I have tried every solution what I can find through google; but unfortunately still not working. and as instructed on ubuntu forum regarding copy the firmware into /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware but in my system there is no folder called /usr/lib/hotplug....

If any one have a idea to fix this problem would be great.
