Hi. I recently installed Debian stable (wheezy 7.6) on a Thinkpad X40, with the following network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2]
The installer complained about the required non-free firmware being unavailable. First thing I did was install it, `firmware-ipw2x00`. I installed `wicd` as a network manager and `wicd-curses` as a user interface. However, no APs are found at my place - my other notebook finds several with good signal. The wireless light on the Thinkpad does a single blink every ~5s. Fn+F5, which should toggle the wi-fi, seems to have no effect whatsoever. I tried installing the `iw` package, which was needed for the wireless on my other notebook with an Intel card to work, but that didn't help. Using `network-manager` instead of `wicd` didn't help either. I tried following the instructions on Debian's wiki on ipw2200, which was basically reloading the module with modprobe, but that was of no avail. I tried following the instructions on some support forums that consisted basically of restarting things, but nothing worked. dmesg | grep -i ipw http://pastebin.com/K7mVy8w2 Shows what seems to me as a working module. So I'm kinda lost here... Any help is appreciated.
