[SLE] Help... My Wireless Card isn't Working - Intel Pro 2915ABG
Hello all, This is my first posting and I hope I'm doing it in the right place. I am pretty new to linux; I've used Kubuntu and Xandros and so far SUSE has been the best over all by far! Anyway, I am dual booting Windows XP Pro and SUSE Linux 10.1 on a DELL Inspiron 6000. I have an Intel Wirelss 2915ABG wireless card and when I go into the network interface, it seems to find it because I see a network interface that says "Intel Wireless 2915ABG" or something to that effect anyway. It also finds my Ethernet card as well and I'm able to connect to the internet through it, but for some reason I can't use my Wireless card. it's almost as if it isn't even running and won't start. If I can get it running I'd be connecting to a Wireless G router that is encrypted with a 64bit WEP Key (yes I know the WEP Key and SSID). Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated because what I've seen and used so far of SUSE is awesome! Thanks! Aaron J.

What do iwconfig and ifconfig as root give you? Are there any messages in the logs? You can switch to it pressing CTRL+ALT+F10 and back by CTRL+F7. Have you installed the Add-On CD? Especially the packages that contain the firmware for the card. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/10.1/SUSE-Linux10.1-GM-Extra/suse/noarch/ipw-firmware-7-10.noarch.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/10.1/SUSE-Linux10.1-GM-Extra/suse/i586/ipw3945d-1.7.18-9.i586.rpm You could simply add the th packages as a source: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/10.1/SUSE-Linux10.1-GM-Extra/ Sven -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
