Guest Philbo Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I am running Mandrake 10.1 Official (mdk kernel is 2.6.8.1-12mdk) on a Samsung X30 which has a intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter, unlike other laptop users the wireless adapter didn't work 'out of the box'. After searching through the forum I came across instructions to use the "buchan milne's ipw2100 rpm" from http://plf.zarb.org/~bgmilne/dkms/ipw2100-...1mdk.noarch.rpm Using thefirmware 1.3 from the SF repository but to no avail. I then tried to installing the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100 Driver for Linux (ipw2100-1.0.4) but when I run the make command I get the following error...

hardware tool in MCC it sees the device but cannot load the driver. I am a newbie to linux (yes I am a former Windows user - please forgive my ignorance) I am wondering if there may be a driver conflict between the modules loaded through my installation of the DKMS and subsequent SourcgeForge files. Any assistance would be appreciated. Philbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
