I booted a Debian 6 LiveCD to try out KDE4, on my older Dell laptop. This laptop has an intel 2915ABG wireless setup. Right now I have PeppermintOS install & wireless works just fine. with Debian, after I booted, I looked at :
$ dmesg | less +/Network and found this: ipw2200 0000:02:03.0:firmware: requesting ipw2200-bss.fw failed: Reason -2 ipw2200: unable to load firmware: -2 ipw2200: failed to register network device ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:03.0 failed with error -5 so, now we know it FAILS, but WHY... I googled, but didn't see any resolution ( except for 1 Mandriva..) I installed the firmware-ipw2x00 from the non-free source & also downloaded from ipw2200.sourceforge.net nothing worked. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
