Guest nikki_74 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hi all, I'm a newbie to linux; and have just installed Mandriva on my laptop. I'm having trouble getting my Intel 2200BG wireless card to work. I have been trying to follow this post: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtop...=intel+firmware http://learn.clemsonlinux.org/wiki/Mandrake:IPW2200 When I tried to configure the wireless network through the Mandriva control center, it reported that the firmware is missing. So I downloaded it from http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php and copied it to /lib/hotplug/firmware and /etc/firmware. But I realized that I could not find the hotplug script to enable in the Mandriva Control Center. Do I need to download and install hotplug as well? How do I do that? My kernel version is 2.6. I thought that this version came with the hotplug scripts. Please help. I really am clueless on this one. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Welcome to the board! What version of Mandriva are you using? The instructions you reference are for 10.1, which is a rather old version, so depending on your version the instructions may have differed. Let us know what version and we'll go from there :) thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follow the instructions on the Easy-Urpmi page (link at the top of this page) then open a terminal and write: su <insert root password here> urpmi ipw2200-firmware then try configure wireless network again.
