Hi all,
Have tried a couple of other linux distro's for a while, but have to go
back to Fedora C4 :-)
I have read a couple of pages on the net about this card, but i was
hoping for an easyer solution, since my card is detected in the hardware
browser in KDE
I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 Laptop, and is getting a problem with my
Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection miniPCI adapters. Running
FC4 with all updates & latest kernel at the time of writing.
I can see the card in the hardware browser, but when i try to add it in
the network setup i can not get it to work. The message says it can not
activate it. In the network setup it is detected as a regular network
card and not a wireless...
The WiFi indication light is also not working, but the bluetooth
indicator is lighting up, so it should be activated. (those are turned
on and of together)
Does "lsmod" show the ipw2200 driver as being loaded? That's required
for that card. If it's not loaded, try "modprobe ipw2200", then see if
"ifconfig -a" shows a "wlan0" entry (the name for the wireless card).
And you probably need to locate the firmware and install that in the
/lib/firmware directory.
There are RPMS for the firmware or you can pull the firmware from the
sourceforge site. (actually they link you to the site that has it.)
I think all is installed, but in the /var/log Messages I can see the
following, looks like something goes wrong.
