cmrdz28 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 I am trying to get the wireless to work with 2005 LE, it is giving me a massive headache. when i try to set it up using ndiswrapper but after i choose the new driver it goes back to the same screen, to either use a new driver or another driver which is not the correct one. i also tried to manually load the driver in config tool and when I choose the driver which is listed a window quickly pops up and goes away (before i can even make out what it says) and it returns to select the network interface to configure option again. i tried to download the driver to build and install, but when i type make i get this error make -C /lib/modules/2.6.11-6mdk-i686-up-4GB/build SUBDIRS=/home/dan/ipw2200-1.0.3 MODVERDIR=/home/dan/ipw2200-1.0.4 modules make: ***/lib/modules/2.6.11-6mdk-i686-up-4GB/build: No such file or directory. Stop. make: ***[modules] Error 2 not sure how to fix this or why that directory is missing any ideas on what I need to do? thanks guys dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 The make error: install the kernel source (open a console, log in as root, type: urpmi kernel-source) The ndiswrapper: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=14972 Try to do it by hand (not with a Mandrake tool) and post the errors here. Start from: modprobe ndiswrapper. Then open a console, login as root and type: lsmod. Check if ndiswrapper is mentioned in the output. If it is take it from there. Good luck.

cmrdz28 Posted May 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 I actually decided to compile and install the linux drivers, and copy the firmware over. the card is now recognized and "connects to the network" it receives and sends packets but it cannot connect to the internet now. any ideas?

Phantom Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 type "route" and check your routing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Phantom: its not his routing, hes trying to get his intel pro 2200 wireless driver working, aka ipw2200 cmrdz: There are mandrake RPMs for this, go into mandrake control center, add software, and search for 2200. Install the rpms. dont try using ndiswrapper with this card, there is a proper and good driver for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmrdz28 Posted May 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 I have gone to control center and add software, I did a search for 2200 but nothing came up, i ran a search for ipw and the 2100 package came up but nothing for the 2200.

cmrdz28 Posted May 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 it seems to work, but for somereason it fails when i try to connect to the internet, when run iwconfig this is what i get eth2 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"newpaltz" Nickname:"localhost" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:11:5C:E2:24:E0 Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality=93/100 Signal level=-33 dBm Noise level=-89 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:11 Missed beacon:0 when i check out the network monitoring it recieves data which shows it is working, but it fails to connect. when i open up a browser it should redirect me to a login page.

iphitus Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 do you use a proxy? maybe FF needs to be configured to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmrdz28 Posted June 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 that specific access point is one setup at my college, it asks you to login via a web interface before you can get access to the internet. i tried it also at my home with a linksys router with its default settings, still have the same problem, it recognizes the router, but i cannot connect to the routers webinterface. its really driving me insane. I noticed that most people who talk about this driver have the B/G wireless chipset. I have the A/B/G chipset which uses the same driver might this be the problem?

iphitus Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 when you are connected, run 'ifconfig' and 'iwconfig' at the command line. post the results here. if you have an intel pro 2200 chipset this driver *should* work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
