Intel 2915ABG

[edwardp]

I'm installing Mandriva on a laptop computer which includes an Intel 2915ABG wireless ethernet adapter and I am not having any luck in configuring it. Harddrake will list it, but when I try to configure it, it directs me to a Sourceforge web site. But if I select NDISWRAPPER instead, it does not have the files. I am aware that NDISWRAPPER uses something related to Windows.

 

Is it even possible to use this wirelessly, or is it better off just using the wired ethernet connection that it also has (and works)?

You can use the link at the top of this page for easy-urpmi, and be sure to add the plf repos to your system.

 

then install:

urpmi ipw2200-firmware

that will have the different versions, and work with your kernel's native driver.

This worked! :)
