Dear everyone, I wonder if anyone has any experience of getting the wireless eth-card in a Dell Latitude D600 to work for SuSE 9.2? The card is an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG. It is recognised by the system as such, and I am able to configure it in Yast without any obvious problems. However, it doesn't get an IP-address. This is in contrast with the same laptop in the same location booting the XP partition, in which case it finds the network, gets an IP and chats away happily. The setup is the same for SuSE and XP: DHCP, named ssid, WEP-ASCII-5char encryption. The following may be relevant version numbers Kernel 2.6.8-24 wireless-tools 27pre26-10 ipw-firmware 3.3 During boot I get the following messages (some of which sound a bit omnious, but I am not certain how serious they are) that I interpret as related to the problem <4>ieee80211_crypt: unsupported module, tainting kernel. ("tainting is bad, right?") <7>ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL' <4>ieee80211: unsupported module, tainting kernel. . . <4>ipw2200: unsupported module, tainting kernel. <6>ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200 Network Driver, 0.8 <6>ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation . . <6>eth1: Setting MAC to 00:0e:35:ad:e3:81 <3>ipw2200: Calibration and the later on when trying to connect eth1 device: Intel Corp.

Please also be gentle with me if/when replying. I am a bit of a beginner and don't handle jargon very well. Puss Jesper
