I have an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG card, rightly setted up on Fedora Core 4.
Since I upgrated from 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 to 2.6.15-1.1833_FC4 I have an error when starting eth1: eth1 is not present.
I noticed: if I start Internet Configuration Wizard from latest kernel, I can see my Intel card between Ethernet devices. Starting the same Wizard from previous kernel lists Intel card between wireless devices.
Did you have to install special drivers or extra RPMs or any additional software to make it work previously? Every time you upgrade a kernel EVERY additional driver or module that is not included in the upgraded kernel must be re-installed (or updated).
Upgraded to Fedora 5. I removed Intel PRO/Set Wireless and Broadcom Ethernet. Leaved kudzu in services and reboot.
I can see now that Intel PRO/Set Wireless is in the Hardware tag in my Network Configuration, but it is as Ethernet type, not Wireless.
If I try to make a new connection, if I select Ethernet I have Intel PRO/Set. If I select Wireless I can choose only "Other wireless device", Intel is'nt among wireless devices!
Now, I should think Intel is set up as Ethernet device, not as Wireless. How can I set it right?
