Wireless on Targa Traveller with Fedora 10

Hello,

I'm having difficulty with wireless on Fedora 10 on a Targa Traveller laptop.

This is a dual-boot system. Windows XP wireless works OK.

With the hardware button, the wireless is switched on.

The wireless adapter :

Code:

02:09.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01)

        Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Device 6855

        Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle+ MemWINV+ VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx-

        Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-

        Latency: 64 (8000ns min, 8000ns max)

        Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 5

        Region 0: I/O ports at e400 [size=32]

        Region 1: Memory at fbfff800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32]

        Region 2: Memory at fbffe800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]

        Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

                Flags: PMEClk- DSI+ D1- D2+ AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-)

                Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME-

ipw2200 is installed :

Code:

[root@eddy eddy]# yum install ipw2200-firmware

Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit

Setting up Install Process

Package ipw2200-firmware-3.1-1.fc10.noarch already installed and latest version

Nothing to do

the module is clearly not loaded :

Code:

[root@eddy eddy]# lsmod | grep 2200

So I load the module :

Code:

[root@eddy eddy]# modprobe ipw2200

I then see :

Code:

[root@eddy eddy]# lsmod | grep 2200

ipw2200              126536  0 

ieee80211              27848  1 ipw2200

But NetworkManager still sees no wireless adapter... only the eth0.

So what are the steps I still need to take ?

Also run "lspci -n" so we can see what the manufacture's ID is.
Also run "uname -r" and post the results. This provides your kernel version.

You might have a kernel who's ipw2x00 module doesn't recognize the MANID because the kernel is too old.

What you asked :

Code:

[eddy@eddy ~]$ lspci -n

I downloaded the source for the 2.6.38.5 kernel and couldn't find an entry for your device in the ipw2x00 source. You might need to resort to ndiswrapper, unless a different kernel module is used for this device.

Just install ndiswrapper ? Or do I need to make some configuration on this ? Don't know ndiswrapper
