I have verified that I updated the firmware..

Are you sure you've replaced all the old modules as I specified in my howto?
Anyway you can follow the domo's post.
The way he suggested is good.

Thanks so much! That's very kind of you.
I'll put it in Ubuntu's official wiki soon.

Thank for the answer.

I'm sad to heard that, but at least I know what to do:
Back to WEP and iptables

Yes, but don't be sad: I think ad-hoc support will be added in the next release of wpa_supplicant.

* Updated *

I have follow this tutorial. Everythings connected. But the problem is, everytime I have to run the wpa_supplicant bla2.. comand, then reactivated the ath0 from networking GUI. Can this process automated?

Any Ideas?

THanks

Here you can find tutorial on IPW2200 + WPA + connect on startup script

I made an edit to my howto: in fact I had written "ipw2000.ko" instead of "ipw2200.ko".

when trying to follow this tutorial i recieve the following error(s) when trying to compile the ipw2200 driver:

Code:

---

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build SUBDIRS=/home/jcsmith/ipw2200-1.0.3 MODVERDIR=/home/jcsmith/ipw2200-1.0.3 modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [modules] Error 2

---

I tried making the /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build directory as it infact does not exist, after which I recieve the following error(s):

Code:

---

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build SUBDIRS=/home/jcsmith/ipw2200-1.0.3 MODVERDIR=/home/jcsmith/ipw2200-1.0.3 modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build'
make: *** [modules] Error 2

I'm kind of stuck here, do i need to copy the source files to the /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build directory before trying to compile?


-Juice

You have to install the kernel source package and make a symlink.

i have the kernel source package installed, and I have made a simlink from the build directory to the directory in where the source files are saved, now attempting to compile gets most of the way through before the scren fills with error 2 errors.

Further investigation reveals that before the error 2's scroll past the screen, the following errors are displayed:

Code:

---

make[1748]: execvp: /bin/sh: Argument List too long
make[1748]: Entering directory `\home\jcsmith\ipw2200-1.0.3'
make[1748]: execvp: make: Argument list too long
make[1748: *** [module] Error 127
