HP Nw8000 and wireless
Anybody got any luck getting wireless to work on Nw8000?
I have installed the madwifi drivers, I can up and down the ath0 device, but it's like the radio isn't on. It scans and scans, but finds nothing. I have never managed to see an AP from Linux. It works in Wintendo. I am proud to say that I got X running 1400x1050 with hw OpenGL support, full sound support, sound buttons working as well as "quick buttons" - but not WLan.... Soeren. iwconfig says: ------------------ lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. vmnet8 no wireless extensions. ath0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"something" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.432GHz Access Point: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF Bit Rate:1Mb/s Tx-Power:off Sensitivity=0/3 Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0/94 Signal level:-95 dBm Noise level:-95 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 dmesg says: ---------------- ath_hal: 0.9.6.11 wlan: 0.7.3.1 BETA ath_pci: 0.8.5.2 BETA PCI: Guessed IRQ 11 for device 02:04.0 ath0: mac 5.6 phy 4.1 5ghz radio 1.7 2ghz radio 2.3 ath0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: turbo rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: 802.11 address: 00:0f:20:95:6f:d1 ath0: Atheros 5212: mem=0x90080000, irq=11 Look's like it's there, but something is missing..... |
Btw....
I forgot to mention that I have a nice blue led on my laptop, and I have never seen it turned on in Linux.
Soeren. |
video card and screen
How did you get the video and sound to work? I tried with redhat 9 and it won't detect the lcd at all.
Any helpful pointers? Thanks |

I also have a nw8000.
I have installed the MADWIFI, I have not got around the office to test it, I will do so and we will see if it works, I just followed the INSTALL/README-files. I let you know how I did. I WANT THAT BLUE LED AS WELL! Im using Debian, did you do something to activate it? Check out these sites: http://fobie.net/nc8000/ (nc8000 is almost the same box) http://www.tt-solutions.com/vz/hardware/hpnw8000/#acpi http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/q.../11798_na.HTML (Specifications) Please let me know if you have any good tips for nw8000 as it is quite new, problems that I have: - I have tried the fglrx-driver (http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.sta...installer.html), but I cannot get it to work with Xinerama, I havent tried much though. Now I am using the RADEON driver, but with that one I do not get 3d-support... Besides from this everything works, oh, I havent tried the DV-out. And bluetooth.. I am note sure I have bluetooth on my box? I havent checked that, the only usage for me would be to edit the adress/phone-book on my mobile. norman001 - Regarding the sound check out the sites above, I guess you just have to load a module or so, I do not now wich one as this worked for me out of the box. And regarding the video/resolution-thing; the easiest way for you would be to boot your nw8000 in to Knoppix (linux on bootable cd) and steel that XF86Config-4, or you could have mine, but it is a bit tweaked, not clean (Im using Xinerama, I removed those lines though): Code:

Hay, i dont know anything in relation to your problem but i know that my dell 700m wireless light never turns on but i get wireless so i dont know that the led has any correlation.
