Ok, this is getting now to the point of being irritating. It's obviously a bug in SUSE 9.2 and the way it works with certain centrino cards/laptops Can anyone tell me what files suse/ipw2100 uses for encryption and network? I will just try editting them myself and see what happens. Like I said, I get a link and I'm connected, set my default gw route but still no luck!! Can't ping or anything. I had a suggestion to turn off dhcp client on my wired nic on bootup and see if that helps which I will try later but this is getting ridiculous. A patch for Suse 9.2 is needed!! ________________________________ From: boricua Orman [mailto:boricua@pepino.is-a-geek.org] Sent: Wed 11/24/2004 6:05 AM To: Michael Sacco Cc: suse Subject: RE: [SLE] wireless card ipw2100 2100 not there http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/List On Wed, 2004-11-24 at 00:47 -0500, Michael Sacco wrote:

Well, if I were you guys, and I really wanted it up and running, I would download the ndiswrapper and use that module then. I had to set that up when I was using 9.1 because the ipw2200 was not supported out of the box. http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ is the website, and there is pretty straight-forward documentation. The install is relatively quick, you don't need to recompile the kernel. Rather, you just compile the module for the kernel you are already using.
Testing this will also help pin down what the problem is. If ndiswrapper works, then it's most likely the ipw2100 module. If ndiswrapper does not work, then it's most likely a setup issue.

This is going to sound silly, but I would try enabling power management. I have the ipw2200 in my system, and sometimes it won't work unless I have
