    trouble with ipw2200

    I got slackware 10.2. I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.15. Then i downloaded ipw2200 for my wireless card, as well as ieee80211, wireless tools and firmware. i did 'make' and 'make install' in for ieee80211 and ipw2200, and moved all the firmware to /lib/firmware. i also installed the wireless tools v.27 using make and make install, all without errors. then i rebooted my system.

    i ran ifconfig and iwconfig. both showed 'lo' as the only interface. i tried to 'modprobe ipw2200' and it did without errors, but then i got the same thing from ifconfig and iwconfig. any idea how i can fix this? thanks.

    Did you find out what was up?

    I'm currently stuck at exactly the same point with an ipw2915ABG...
    ipw2200, ieee80211 and ieee80211_crypt load fine as seen in lsmod, but no device shows up with ifconfig or iwconfig...

    Cheers, Leon.

    Yes I read up on ALL the FMs, but forgot to enable wireless support in the BIOS........

    I hope this confession is of use for some

    Cheers, Leon.

    ipw2200bg

    Suse 10.1 recognizes the 2200bg with no problem.
    Mandrake 10.1 fails to recognize and install. . .

    Oh well. . .

    This is hardly related to the thread topic. but I see no reason why you can't upgrade your kernel with slapt.
