[opensuse] Intel Prowireless 2200BG
Hello, I am doing a favour for a friend and posting his question to the list. If anybody would be kind enough to help it would be much appreciated. TIA " This is extracted from bootlog: <6>ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection <4>ipw2200: Radio Frequency Kill Switch is On: <4>Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work. My machine is a <ACER> TM 290D and I am running SuSE 10.2. Drivers should be as recent as the release of the OS. " The question being, his wireless does not work for the reason helpfully given by the bootlog above, and he would like it to work (the card has been tested in windwoes and works there). How would he go about this. Any ideas. Thankyou -- Cheers Allister Gearon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Some notebook computers have a switch somewhere, that turns off WiFi. Is there anything in the user manual about this? -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I think that this is unlikely, these models do have a hardware wireless on/off switch, but my friend is thoroughly used to this model and would not have neglected to switch it on : ). (nevertheless I have forwarded the suggestion) Any other ideas?
