kde-head Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 kde-head -- does this meen you got your wireless up? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> no - i gave up on the ndiswrapper solution (got me nowhere) , did a fresh install, and followed the native driver solution , as detailed on this mandrake bug report http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12142 Quote: "Olivier, Buchan: The buchan's package works for me on my nx5000 HP laptop (ipw2200) - regular 10.1 Official. The wifi button also works(even if there is not light on). But I had to change /etc/modules.conf as ipw2200 was set to a wrong ethX. So I only needed buchan's package, the kernel source (why not) and the 10.1 Official firmware." I've got an nx9030 laptop, pretty close enough - and all i need are those buchan milne packages... trouble , i cant get hold of the buchan milne ipw2200 dkms rpms because plf.zarb.org has been down for several DAYS now. frustrating!!!! (i've got the firmware packages from elsewhere....) the buchan milne package in question is http://plf.zarb.org/~bgmilne/dkms/ipw2200-...1mdk.noarch.rpm How this Intel 2200 bug made it to 10.1 Official is beyond me - maybe folks arent contributing enough bug reports to qa.mandrakesoft.com? In fact, I'd go as far as saying - if you come across a bug on a fresh install, dont just say it on mandrakeusers.org - submit a bug report on qa.mandrakesoft.com as well.

adamw Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 but make sure it's not a duplicate first. If it's a duplicate, vote for the existing bug instead. One bug with 10 votes will get a LOT more attention than 10 bugs with one vote each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
