Install SuSe and forget it -- I gave up on FC5, too many problems with the T60
|
I installed Suse 10.1 and it really automatically detected my wireless card Intel Pro 3945ABG, but how I get it works...I configured it in Network Card with correct ESSID and passphrase but can't get it work. Can u help me ?

Install ipw3945d
I got the same results you got but noticed that daemon wasn't installed. I called up Yast, installed ipw3945d and it worked. I've been using Fedora since the 90's so it was a bit much to swallow the switch to SuSE. (Looks like I need to buy some new t-shirts ;) ) Overall, SuSE has been great, but YaST sucks. So I've installed YUM on SuSE and am now a happy camper. |
well ppl...
with SuSe 10.1 u all dont need to install any deamon as it automatically does it ... well i saw the prev post on essid and paraphrase it dnt wrk ... try chaning the option to hex key and give the same key it will work ... cheers!!! |

verification of FC5 wireless instruction
For clarification purposes can you inform me if your instructions will work if I am using a gateway 6520gz laptop with centrino mobile technology (Intel Corp. Pro Wireless 2200BG)?

Dear All:
I have a Dell E1705. Lately I tried to make wirless card work in FC5. In the very beginning, I followed garfield1228's procedure and it works.. GREAT~~~ But I need VPNC and WEP. So I use add/remove software to add networkmanager relative stuff. After rebooting, I also have an icon indicating a wired connection on the top right side. And this is how a sad story begin. I could not use wireless anymore. I tried to reactive wireless by system-config-network of my eth1. (eth0 is wired network) It shows Determining IP information for eth1... failed; no link present. Check cable? By reviewing some articles, it seems something wrong with driver. So I remove any thing related to ipw1394 (not ieee80211 ). Rebooted and installed everything again. Rebooted again. (The wi-fi light is blinking.) SAME ERROR MESSAGE AGAIN.... typing #ps -C ipw3945 PID TTY TIME CMD #/sbin/ipw3945d ipw3945d - regulatory daemon Copyright (C) 2005-2006 Intel Corporation.

I really need help asap ..... :confused: I have installed suse 10.1. All the wlan drivers are installed, the Knetworkmanager detects the WLANs available but it does not connect, I supply my wep key but it doesn't work. I supplied the HEX instead, it still didnt work. The MAC address is allowed if one thinks that might be the problem. I just do not get an IP adress for some reason, although on the router side it shows the Laptop as connected :confused: :confused: Please HELP a Linux and Suse 10.1 :newbie: |
Hello, I'm having the same problem as esoufy. I installed all the drivers and the network config recognizes the card, but when I try to connect, I get this: Error for
wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device eth1 ; Resource temporarily unavailable. Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) : SET failed on device eth1 ; Resource temporarily unavailable. Determining IP information for eth1... failed; no link present. Check cable? Any ideas? |
For those like me that have everything working (I used the ipw3945 drivers from atrpms) but can't get the damn thing to start automatically before the NetworkManager daemon, I found this script at http://statgen.ncsu.edu/~jdstarme/fc5_on_t60.txt that got everything working. I mean everything, when I restarted last and logged in, the notification about being connected to my AP came up before my other panel finished loading.
Just thought others in this thread might appreciate it. My hardware is HP dv8000. Look for an HCL entry soon. Code:
# # ipw3945d --help |
Ok i've installed everything (after searching for days), and got it to work, for the most part. When i run /sbin/ipw3945d it says it cant find the card. I'm thinking it's because it is not turned on. I have a switch in the front of my toshiba m115 notebook that will turn it on and off, but it doesnt do anything in FC5. Anyone know how i can turn it on?
|
On my HP and my Compaq, that switch is a hard power switch. If it isn't, then there should be an override in your BIOS. . . give that a shot.
