Hi,
I am currently using a compaq nx7010 laptop with FC5. I seem to be having trouble with the wirless configuration.
I have a ipw2200 card built in, I have used livna to install the latest drivers but can not get fedora to use it can someone please help.
ipw2200-firmware-3.0-1.lvn5
kernel2.6.17-1.2139_FC5
ifcfg-eth1
# Intel Corp.|PRO/Wireless LAN 2200 3B Mini PCI Adapter
DEVICE=eth1
>BOOTPROTO=dhcp
MODE=Managed
ESSID=HOME-NET
#lspci |grep ipw
I get nothing back
#rmmod ipw2100
again nothing back
#modprobe ipw2200
nothing
#cat /var/log/dmesg |grep ipw
ipw2100: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver,
git-1.2.2
ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
ipw2100: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection
ipw2100: eth0: Firmware 'ipw2100-1.3.fw' not available or load failed.
ipw2100: eth0: ipw2100_get_firmware failed: -2
ipw2100: eth0: Failed to power on the adapter.
ipw2100: eth0: Failed to start the firmware.
ipw2100Error calling register_netdev.
ipw2100: probe of 0000:02:02.0 failed with error -5
#ifup eth1
ipw2100 device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.
I have tried to rpm -qa | grep ipw
but only the ipw2200 driver shows up
How do I remove ipw2100 and configure it to use the ipw2200 driver? (I think I installed this once a long time ago.)
As it looks like this is the cause.
