AcuraRBKG6 Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 In Mandriva 2006, the actual files and libraries should already be installed, but if you have the free version, you have to go to http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net to get the firmware to load it. Once you get the firmware, put it in the directory Control Center tells you to put it, then everything should work out ok. Let me know if you have any problems :) Chaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AleXxiO Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 it is possible to find the state of the wireless hardware from the command line $ cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rf_kill it will be 0 if kill switch is off (radio on-->u can use connection) or other numbers if u have to push the power button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
