Cannot connect to wireless (intel pro 2915abg) in backtrack 4 r2
I am on an IBM thinkpad t43 using backtrack 4 r2. Wireless works in windows (/dev/sda1), openSUSE 11.3 (/dev/sda2), but not backtrack (sda3)
Code:
#cat /proc/pci Code:
# lsmod | grep ipw Code:
#ifconfig (this is the entry fr my wireless card) Code:
#iwconfig Code:
#iwlist eth1 scan (it did not find anything) Code:
#cp -v /lib/firmware-2.6.34/ipw* /lib/firmware/ Can anyone point me in the right direction? Rich |
can you post the output of ifconfig eth1

I did above.
Anyway, I took it to school today, and scanned for our wireless. It actually found it and was able to connect. I didn't do anything from the time I ran that copy command and connected at school except turn it off for the night. So Im amusing the copy command worked and it just needed a hard boot. That or a good nights rest...which is what I need right about now. Rich |
another thing may be that your intel wireless drivers may be locked to the wrong channel range and your school network just happened to be in that range, it's a common issue with intel wireless cards, i can't remember the URL but a quick google should find it
