Hi all, sorry if I bother you with an old topic but so fare I haven't found anything which really helped me with my problem in the mailing list.
I have an Dell Inspiron 510m with a Pentium M. The PC is fine apart for the wireless. 10.1 detects my card but apparently I had to download and install the firmware of the card as well and now firmware and card are installed, it's detected but I can't use it. Frist thing which is strange is the output for ifconfig: [EMAIL PROTECTED] minos]# ifconfig eth0 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:0D:56:E0:61:15 inet6 Adresse: fe80::20d:56ff:fee0:6115/64 Gültigkeitsbereich:Verbindung UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:378 (378.0 b) Interrupt:11 Basisadresse:0x5000 lo Protokoll:Lokale Schleife inet Adresse:127.0.0.1 Maske:255.0.0.0 inet6 Adresse: ::1/128 Gültigkeitsbereich:Maschine UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:182 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:182 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:0 RX bytes:11462 (11.1 Kb) TX bytes:11462 (11.1 Kb) No wireless... but if I type ifconfig eth1 I get the wireless card: [EMAIL PROTECTED] minos]# ifconfig eth1 eth1 Protokoll:UNSPEC Hardware Adresse 42-4F-C0-00-24-85-04-30-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) In my opinion this is strange... The card is installed since I get this output under dmesg: eth0: no IPv6 routers present ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL' ipw2100: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver, 0.54 ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:03.0[A] -> GSI 7 (level, low) -> IRQ 7 ipw2100: 0000:01:03.0: Detected at mem: 0xFCFFE000-0xFCFFEFFF -> e0f07000, irq: 7 eth1: Using hotplug firmware load. I know I did something right but also something wrong, since I know nothing about programing, IT or linux (apart using it) I am thankful for any help and hint you might have Alex
