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 :)
