Re: Wireless INPROCOMM 2220 (MAYBE) WORKS!
Hi, I have been lurking on this list for a few months, trying to find an answer to the IPN2220 driver. This was main issue keeping me apart on using Debian amd64 actively was the support for this wireless card. Yes it works. I've tested it yesterday by night, and it ran smoothly with my access point. I'm even using it with WPA (with the aid of the wpasupplicant software), with the same configuration that was working flawlessly on my 32 bits Debian installation. Now I can take full profit of my Acer 1525WLMi notebook. Best regards, Felipe P.s.: This is my first message to this list, and I'm happy I'm posting a solution rather than a problem. Congratulations for all you guys that made Debian AMD64 possible! antongiulio05 wrote: I'm reading just now on 'ndiswrapper forum' using CVS version for ndiswrapper (1.4rc1). I show the post below: IPN2220 is working right now on my FC3 x86_64 ! I checked out the latest CVS version (1.4rc1) and compiled it with the the usual make INPROCOMM_AMD64=1 and make INPROCOMM_AMD64=1 install I used the driver suggested in http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/index.php?showtopic=19517 and renamed the .inf file as explained in the document. Once the driver was loaded i only had to set WEP encryption parameters and IP address and the driver worked perfectly. Hope this helps Can anybody test it on Debian AMD64 (actually I have not an access point)? Thanks, Giulio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Thanks, Giulio

I tested it with an Asus WL-500g Deluxe wireless router http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=12l2=43l3=0model=359modelmenu=1. I didn't test yet with any other access point, but I dont see why it would not work, once it worked with one.

Len Sorensen I'm using static addresses, and I have not tested yet the case of loosing link (the wireless signal is quite good in my whole house). I also don't have much experience with wireless on linux. I'm also looking for some tips on how to have an automatic wireless setup utility.
