wlan (module not supported by Novell)
Hi,
Am trying to get the built-in wireless up and running on an HP
dv1000 ( dv1355EA ). dmesg includes the following :
,------[ part of dmesg output ]
| ieee80211_crypt: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag.
| ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
| ieee80211: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag.
| ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, 1.0.3

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what this means / what I might be able to do about it?
Are you seeing any evidence of a problem beyond the above messages? Those messages themselves are not an indication of any problem. They mean you are doing something that installs kernel modules not distributed with your kernel. That is not a problem unless you think you haven't added anything to your system that didn't come from Novel (SuSE). It does mean that if you call Novel for help they will say that you need to work with whoever supplied the software, and not with Novel, to resolve any problems. Bob

I had assumed that that was part of the reason that the onboard wireless nic fails to attach. Obviously not : I shall look elsewhere. Thanks for that, Regards, F
Hi, Does anyone know where I can see a translation of the two error codes below/ as this may be the clue ,------[ another part of dmesg output ] | ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection | ipw2200: ipw-2.3-boot.fw load failed: Reason -2 | ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: 0xFFFFFFFE | ipw2200: failed to register network device | ipw2200: probe of 0000:06:06.0 failed with error -5 `------ Cheers and TIA, Francesco
