Linux 2200bg wireless Nic configuration diary (Wireless Configuration)
Keyworkds: Wireless; T43; 2200bg; ipw2200; Fedora Core 3 (FC3 );
LAPTOP: IBM T43;
Card: Intel PRO/wireless 2200bg;
System:FC3 (2.6.9-1.667 );
Drivers:
1) ipw2200-firmware-2.2-5.at.noarch.rpm
At: http://dl.atrpms.net/all/ipw2200-fi...5.at.noarch.rpm
2) ipw2200-1.0.0.tar.gz (said to be stable version)
At: http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/#downloads
Or: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/....0.tgz? Download
Steps:
0) Login as root
1) rpm-IVH ipw2200-firmware-2.2-5.at.noarch.rpm
Install the hardware driver so that your wireless NIC will start (you need to restart your computer ).
2) tar zxvf ipw2200-1.0.0.tar.gz
CD ipw2200-1.0.0
Make install
You will see a message about firmware; ignore it. It is installed in step 1st.
3) reboot
4) The rest is simple. Use the network tool or execute "IFUP eth1" (my card is eth1.
Note:
1) the following error message is displayed when the NIC is started:
[Root @ Venus firmware] # IFUP eth1
Error for wireless request "set bit rate" (8b20 ):
Set failed on device eth1; operation not supported.
Determining IP information for eth1... done.
It is said to be a development bug and can be ignored as much as possible.
2) If the network is still disconnected after configuration, try this:
Run the "dmesg" command to check the information. If you receive the following information:
Eth1: duplicate address detected!
Eth1: duplicate address detected!
Eth1: duplicate address detected!
Eth1: duplicate address detected!
Find the system service, find the NetworkManager, and close it completely.
This service seems to recognize the wireless network card as wired, but it does not understand; from here:

Okay, my network card is completely installed; I use the default eth1 configuration, and my neighbor's Network
No Password, huh. I won't use complicated settings :)
