I installed the 1833 kernel that was supposed to help with ipw2200 connectivity. I was disappointed. It is not much worse then 1831 but for it to work at all you need the line: options ipw2200 hwcrypto=0 in the /etc/modprobe.conf . This line caused connection to fail every time with the 1831 kernel, And neither work as well as the: 2.6.11-1.1369 kernel that came on the CD. Here is what happens. After a boot, when I execute: ifup eth1 there is a long wait with: Determining IP information for eth1 ... on the screen and then the message: PING 192.168.1.254 from 192.168.1 eth1: 56(84) bytes of data. --- 192.168.1.254 ping statistics 4 packets transmitted, 1 received, 75% packet loss, time 3014 ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 6.213/6.213/6.213/0.00 ms, pipe 2 done This is actually atypical. Usually it does not connect the first time I try after a reboot. All the packets are lost. In any case , the next time while still booted I do a: ifdown eth1 followed by a ifup eth0, it connects immediately. Does anyone have better or at least different results. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University telephone: (210)-999-7484
