segmentation fault upon loading ipw2200
 

Hi everyone,

I have an Asus z71v laptop with an intel 2915 mini pci nic card. I've recompiiled my kernel with all necessary options for wifi and have installed the ipw2200 files and firmware. When I try to load the ipw2200 drivers it get the error message:

./load line 79: segmentation fault modprobe $i

The ipw2200 discussion boards on sourceforge weren't much help. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing the fault?

How are you loading it? insmod? modprobe?
If you are doing it either way - open that modules source - find line 79 - figure out what $i is.
I would maybe switch it to $1 - maybe $0 depending on the language.....

Thanks PenguinPwrdBox.

It was actually a conflict with the older version i had previously installed which needed to be cleaned up.

So the drivers load properly now but doing ifconfig puts my wireless on eth0 and the wired on eth1. I connect to the internet through the wire. How do i change the interfaces?

Which distribution are you using?

Oh right. I'm using Slackware 10 with a 2.6.9 kernel. Sorry, i should have been more specific. I keep forgetting that a lot of stuff are distro specific.

anyone?
