Problem with Intel Corporation WiFi Link 100 Series
I want to make my wireless card to work, I'm using a Lenovo SL510 laptop, and my system is Slackware 13.0
Searching around on the internet I found that kernels above 2.6.24 already have the driver for my card, my kernel is 2.6.29.6-smp. http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi The name of the driver is iwlagn, but the module is not mounted at startup, so I tried to mount it myself: Code:
modprobe iwlagn Code:
bash-3.1# lsmod | grep iw I have two questions, how can I make the module mount from startup and how can I make my wireless card work for real? |
Have you run
Code:
#ifconfig wlan0 up And to load a module at boot-time, just add a line to /etc/modules.conf with the name of the module. |
Hi,
@OP I believe your device should be there. Look at 'Configuring your network in Slackware' is Alien_Bob's excellent article on the way network cards are configured in Slackware. Loads of internal reference links for Ethernet & Wireless. :hattip: |
Thanks for responding guys, but I end up switching to slackware 13.1 and it worked instantly, still... I will check out the slackware network configuration for future issues, thanks for the link.
