Why not simply activate the card using yast? There are already ieee80211 and ipw2200 modules which ship with suse.
If you have already tried that, exactly where did things fail?

Oops, that would have been helpful information to include. Here is a boot sequence before any changes: Jan 8 17:55:52 linux kernel: ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection Jan 8 12:55:52 linux firmware.sh[4923]: Cannot find firmware file 'ipw2200-bss.fw' Jan 8 17:55:52 linux kernel: ipw2200: ipw2200-bss.fw request_firmware failed: Reason -2 Jan 8 17:55:52 linux kernel: ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2 Jan 8 17:55:52 linux kernel: ipw2200: failed to register network device Jan 8 17:55:52 linux kernel: ipw2200: probe of 0000:03:03.0 failed with error -5 Jan 8 17:57:55 linux kernel: ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection Jan 8 17:57:55 linux kernel: ipw2200: ipw2200-bss.fw request_firmware failed: Reason -2 Jan 8 17:57:55 linux kernel: ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2 Jan 8 17:57:55 linux kernel: ipw2200: failed to register network device Jan 8 17:57:55 linux kernel: ipw2200: probe of 0000:03:03.0 failed with error -5 Jan 8 12:57:55 linux firmware.sh[6105]: Cannot find firmware file 'ipw2200-bss.fw' I found some docs that seemed to indicate that the firmware files would have been installed automatically during initial setup, but they were not. I tried manually installing the ipw-firmware-7-10.noarch.rpm package, which is actually for 10.1. This doesn't install a file exactly named /lib/firmware/ipw2200-bss.fw so I just tried copying the corresponding *.fw file to the correct name. This is from the boot sequence after that: Jan 10 13:56:02 aharrison kernel: ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.1.2kmprq Jan 10 13:56:02 aharrison kernel: ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation Jan 10 13:56:02 aharrison kernel: ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection Jan 10 13:56:02 aharrison kernel: ipw2200: Unable to load boot firmware: -12 Jan 10 13:56:02 aharrison kernel: ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -12 Jan 10 13:56:02 aharrison kernel: ipw2200: failed to register network device Jan 10 13:56:02 aharrison kernel: ipw2200: probe of 0000:03:03.0 failed with error -5 I also tried a couple other packages, such as ipw2200-firmware-2.4-8.at.noarch.rpm from atrpms.net, but didn't have any better luck. At this point, I have no ipw related rpm's installed and I'm just trying from source. -- Andy Harrison -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
