Thanks Jonathan, That made perfect sense. I think I used the ipw2200 as I read an article about another ipw driver install on a compaq. I have removed the ipw2200 firmware and installed the ipw2100 firmware. 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 I am now getting closer however I can not bring up the wireless interface, everytime I use ifup eth1 I get FAILED I am using KDE at present and have tried the control panel wireless added my sid but it is not doing anything. Does anyone know where I go from here? <div>On 26/06/06, Jonathan Underwood <<a href="mailto:jonathan.underwood@gmail.com">jonathan.underwood@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On 26/06/06, Paul Ward <<a href="mailto:pnward@googlemail.com">pnward@googlemail.com</a>> wrote: > #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 > Doesn't this suggest that you have an ipw2100 adapter, not a ipw2200? - hence installing the ipw2200 firmware doesn't help, and you need to install the relevant ipw2100 firmware (available from livna). I am not overly familiar with these cards however - but I would suggest double checking you know what card you have :) Jonathan > #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?
