veeral Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Hi everyone. I am posting the same problem again as I gave up before two months after trying to make my intel centrino toshiba laptop's wireless 2200 b/g card on mandriva 2005 LE. I would greatly appreciate if someone can walk me through the configuration. I have a toshiba satellite m35-s320 centrino laptop which says that it has integrated intel pro/wireless 2100 802.11g network connection on a label on the laptop but when I try to install the drivers for the first time, it always takes the drivers of 2200 b/g. I have tried from installation guides and used the firmware and ndiswrapper and everything i know of but tragically it never worked. But I am still ready to do it all over again if someone is ready to offer help regarding this. desparately seeking the solution... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/ No need to use ndiswrapper when there is a lInux driver. Did you follow these instructions? What errors do you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Devries: He has the newer ipw2200, which is at ipw2200.sf.net, and which is included in current versions of mandrake by default Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veeral Posted July 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Hi. I got connected yesterday just after posting here, but unfortunately I am in the same old desparate condition again. I don't know what new things I did because I am sure I did nothing new, but I got connected to a network which doesn't have a wpa encryption and when I tried to create a new profile, that new profile didn't work and I got no connection. But, with that new profile created, when I switched back to the old one (default), I couldn't connect. I don't know why but the "wireless" configuration in my control center flashes for a second and then returns to the main screen without opening. This was not the case when I could connect for the first time. Please let me know what could be the error and plus, I inted o connect on a network which will be having a wpa encryption, so please tell me if I should switch to any other version like mandrake 10.1 official or something. Is it a more stable version than Mandriva 2005? Why is this edition called a "limited" version? Thanks for responding promptly and I seek further help:)...
