Hi David, I actually helped a friend troubleshoot an ipw2200 card on an Amilo series laptop last week. Make sure you have emerged net-wireless/ipw2200-firmware and have run etc-update prior to loading the driver. Regards, Alex Quoting David Harel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Thanks for all of you who

Hi, You said: 2. In the INSTALL document of ipw2200 (taken from the generic package) is an explenation about sysfs which should be mounted. It seems to me it is mounted by default even though it is not in mtab (can't see it in df unless you are in /sys and do df .) I assume there is no proble

Thanks for all of you who replied. Unfortunately none of the recommendations worked but if you don't mind I would like to get more of your advice. 1. How can I track which file is attempted to be loaded to the firmware when modprobe is performed. Obviously, strace modprobe ipw2200 does not do

Hello,   It could be a wrong firmware problem OR wrong path, as was suggested   The error "request_firmware failed: Reason..." stems from the call to request_firmware(), which is the generic kernel method for loading firmware. ( If you want more details, look at  the kernel module drivers/base/f

Hi, I have what looks like the same problem on an IBM r50e portable computer. After I do modprobe two or three times manually the problem goes away, so obviously the firmware is there. Why it takes more then one attempt s what puzzels me?!! Ghiora Noam Meltzer wrote: most likely you haven't

Thanks for your reply. Seems to me the driver is installed correctly (I reinstalled and tried older versions also). It resides in: /lib/firmware/ipw2200-bss.fw (older versions have the names somewhat different). I couldn't figure out how modprobe loads the right file and I didn't find any t

There are two things you can try: 1) echo 100 > /sys/class/firmware/timeout to increase the default timeout value. 2) try removing the packages installing the driver/firmware from sourceforge Take a look at http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/#downloads... It mentions the timeout problem just

Just a wild guess here, but Linux error number -2 is ENOENT ("No such file or directory"). I'd see it as a strong hint the driver wants to load the firmware off a disk file, perhaps supplied through a parameter (see 'modinfo ipw2200'), and fails to find it. David Harel wrote: Hi all, I di

Actually, Ralink ( http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/ ) and Intel ( http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/ ) are just as friendly. Atheros ( http://madwifi.sourceforge.net/ ) was also friendly enough, though they still hide some details inside a binary object (not kernel version dependant and precompiled for

If you do use zd1211 - few things to note: 1) Last time I checked, the released tar.gz on sourceforge did not work. Use the cvs version. 2) There's also another development branch on subversion: http://zd1211.ath.cx/   That IS the same project, but the two branches are not fully merged yet,
