HELP, problem when making ieee80211 and ipw2200
 
as I followed instructions like in
linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=382213

I got errors problem when trying to make ieee80211, here's

Code:
[root@localhost ieee80211-1.1.6]# make

also for the ipw2200, here's

Code:
[root@localhost ipw2200-1.0.8]# make
<stdin>:1:28: linux/rhconfig.h: No such file or directory

 ERROR: ieee80211.h not found in '/lib/modules/2.6.11-6mdk-i686-up-4GB/include'.

 You need to install the ieee80211 subsystem from http://ieee80211.sf.net
 and point this build to the location where you installed those sources, eg.:

 % make IEEE80211_INC=/usr/src/ieee80211/

 will look for ieee80211.h in /usr/src/ieee80211/net/

make: *** [check_inc] Error 1
[root@localhost ipw2200-1.0.8]#

sorry...I should tell this..
I am using Mandrake LE 2005 on Toshiba Satellite M30 Pro S731
my wireless access point router is SpeedTouch..

Excuse me for the stupid question but, doesn't M2005LE has the right driver for your wi-fi card?

valyo_bg 12-12-2005 03:45 PM
ipw2200
 
I use same driver (ipw2200) for my Laptop. My wi-fi card is Pro/Wireless 2915ABG. Here is steps for installation:
1. Download latest driver from Intel website (I use ipw-2.2*).
2. Then unpack all files to temp directory.
3. Rename all files from firmware directory from ipw-2.2* to ipw-2.3*.
4. Then copy all renamed files to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware.
5. Do as root: modprobe ipw2200.
6. From MCC -> Network -> Create new WLAN connection

My OS is Mandriva 2006 Free and wireless adpter is work without problems after this step's.

Regards,
Valentin

thank u for your reply..

yes M2005LE does has the driver...but it just didnt work anything..
But I will try to re-install the driver from M2005LE instead of from soundfourge..
then do the instructions from valentin, I wonder if it applicable for M2005LE, because his OS is mandriva 2006.

I still wanna try with M2005LE, I have been trying to get it work since last week... :(

regards,

Tje

thanks valentin,
but...what is your laptop, my laptop is Toshiba Satellite Pro M30-S731

and...ur steps, does it applicable for M2005LE ?
however, I still wanna try ur steps because it has a unique step that I never think about: "rename all the files from firmware directory from ipw-2.2 to ipw-2.3"

Regards,

I'm sorry, you're very unlucky. My card was working well.

valyo_bg 12-15-2005 09:24 AM
My Laptop is Prestigio, but this is not so important. I hope that your Wireless card is similar model like my. Also why you won't try Mandriva 2006? For my point of view it is most better then 2005LE. My old linux was Mandriva 2005, but installed on Desktop PC. Now I migrate to Mandriva 2006 and I'm very satisfated. I hope that you will have success to install properly your Wireless card.
Best Regards,
Valentin

oh yes..
thank you..
about mandriva 2006, actually, I just finished downloaded..

I tried LE2005 , it is because the ISO of 2006 one havent come out at that time..
I have LE2005 not even a month..
yes...made me think that LE2005 is useless...

going to try 2006 now..
thanks Valentin...very appreciated....
something wrong with my wireless again if I have installed 2006 on my laptop, I will ask it again here..is that ok?

Best Regards,

Tje

I'd be a little bit softer. It was a release on the way to 2006. It's working for a lot of things.
As I've already told you, I think you're unlacky with your card. My one was working well.

you know what Valentin...
this is my first time I use internet on Linux...
yes...I just use linux just for learning, programming, and bla bla blah..never about Internet ..

I use laptop and wireless connection...I believe Mandriva will give the best performance for my wireless Centrino Processor..

yes..you helped me..with only a little instruction up there...very easy...
and now I love Mandriva 2006..

THANK YOU..
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2006...hope you best wishes...
