Hi,

I am running SUSE Linux 10.1.1 (i586) Alpha2, i compiled my own kernel ,
> uname -a
Linux 3(NXDOMAIN) 2.6.18-default #1 Sun Oct 8 00:19:32 EDT 2006 i686 i686
i386 GNU/Linux

I am trying to get my wireless card to work in Suse, which is an Intel
2200BG
> lspci | grep 2200
01:05.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network
Connection (rev 05)

I had to download the firmware from
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php?fid=7
and copied it to /lib/firmware and loaded the module
> modprobe ipw2200,

the module loaded without any errors , and then I ran iwconfig like
>iwconfig eth1 essid "Network_620" key DB19ABDEFE33

when i ran
> iwconfig eth1

Warning: Driver for device eth1 has been compiled with version 20
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 19.
Some things may be broken...

when i run dhclient eth1 , my wireless card is not able to get a DHCP
address from my ISP
is something wrong ??
How do i configure the wireless card for this new kernel with the iwconfig
which comes with this suse Version??

Thanks
