What is a wpa and a wep ? Sorry for my ignorance ... I do not run ftp or ssh servers. I do not know if I've answered your question. Thank you, Maura On Tue, 11 Apr 2006, Joseph Loo wrote:

It looks like the card came with own module "ipw2200" which is in the /lib/modules/. In fact I get the following:
mauede@linux:~> lsmod ipw2200 142088 0
This module is known to YAST as well. We get an IP address but still we cannot connect:
mauede@linux:~> /sbin/ifconfig eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:12:F0:8D:40:71 inet addr:10.225.95.44 Bcast:10.225.95.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::212:f0ff:fe8d:4071/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:14263 errors:0 dropped:7 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:28 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1262375 (1.2 Mb) TX bytes:4399 (4.2 Kb) Interrupt:201 Base address:0xe000 Memory:80000000-80000fff
Can someone help? Thanks, Maura

My laptop has got the following wire and wireless cards:
CLEVO/KAPOK RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet Configured with DHCP. Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG MiniPCI Adapter Configured with DHCP.
We could successfully connect to the wire network although we were not successful with the wireless connection here at FNAL. Since all laptops running Windows can easily use the wireless network in here, we are wondering whether we are missing some parameters setup in the card configuration procedure. Please, can someone help with that ?
Some of the wireless cards do not have native Linux drivers. In most cases you can use the Linux ndiswrapper and the Windows drivers. There are some good instructions on how to do it. I had to do this with my new laptop. Here is a short description. http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Ndiswrapper
Note that for some reason, on my 64-bit system ndiswrapper.ko was not set up in /lib/modules/..., but I have a few suggested solutions that should work on my system since I do have the Windows drivers.

Do you have wpa or wep active. If so, you will need to put in the appropriate information, the keys for their respective item. Otherwise it will never connect. I have the same problem when I run windows.
