Hi.

I have a laptop running MDK 10.1. After looking through several howto's/forums/etc. I did the following trying to get my ipw2200 to work:

 

1) Download and install kernel source

 

2) $ su

 

# mkdir /lib/hotplug/firmware /etc/firmware

# tar zxvf ipw2200-fw-2.0.tgz

# cp *.fw /etc/firmware

# cp *.fw /lib/hotplug/firmware

# urpmi ipw2200-dkms-0.15-1mdk.noarch.rpm

 

3) Use the KDE configuration tool to configure the connection

 

4) Edited /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 - since it wanted the MAC address to be loads of zero's.

 

When I do

 

# ifup eth1

 

I get:

 

grep: /etc/sysconfig/networking/default/ifcfg-*: No such file or directory

interface 'eth1' not found

 

Determining IP information for eth1.........failed

 

This is not really strange since there is no 'default' directory in /../../networking. Can anyone help me with this?
