Hi, I am running SUSE Linux 10.1.1 (i586) Alpha2, i compiled my own kernel ,
uname -a Linux 3(NXDOMAIN) 2.6.18-default #1 Sun Oct 8 00:19:32 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I am trying to get my wireless card to work in Suse, which is an Intel 2200BG
lspci | grep 2200 01:05.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05)
I had to download the firmware from http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php?fid=7 and copied it to /lib/firmware and loaded the module
modprobe ipw2200,
the module loaded without any errors , and then I ran iwconfig like
iwconfig eth1 essid "Network_620" key DB19ABDEFE33
when i ran
iwconfig eth1
Warning: Driver for device eth1 has been compiled with version 20 of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 19. Some things may be broken... eth1 unassociated ESSID:"Network_620" Mode:Managed Channel=0 Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Sensitivity=8/0 Retry limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:DB19-225F- Security mode:open Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 when i run dhclient eth1 , my wireless card is not able to get a DHCP address from my ISP is something wrong ?? How do i configure the wireless card for this new kernel with the iwconfig which comes with this suse Version?? Thanks Digz
