Curious ipw2100 issue (wireless networking)
On my laptop (a thinkpad X40), I have the ipw2100 wireless card. I installed the drivers from ipw2100.sf.net, and everything was fine. Then one day, it just magically stopped working for no apparent reason.
It is detected as a wireless device OK: Code:
stevex40 steve # iwconfig eth1 Code:
stevex40 steve # iwlist eth1 scan I really, really must have wireless working. I hate being tied down by cat-5 :( Thanks. Edit: Other people are still able to access my wireless access point, and I am definately using the correct key. |
I've discovered the solution to my problem. I was (for some reason) loading the modules in the wrong order. It works now. Whoops.

This is an update to this thread, a LQ member asked me which order I loaded the modules in:
This is the order that I load my modules in (from /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6) e1000 ieee80211 ieee80211_crypt ieee80211_crypt_wep ieee80211_crypt_ccmp ieee80211_crypt_tkip ipw2100 subfs e1000 and subfs are my other network card and an automounting filesystem. I guess this problem has something to do with the fact that ipw2100 depends on those iee80211 modules, and doesn't use them if they are loaded in the incorrect order. I hope this helps someone who stumbles in from google. |
