Has anybody had any success getting these drivers working with Slackware?
I'm not exactly a newb or a pro and Linux yet and am having problems converting some things from the Install guide, to getting it to work in slackware. More specifically, the following excerpt:
Quote:
You need to configure the device for your particular distribution. The steps
below will work on Red Hat, Fedora, and other similar distributions.
First, create a file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ called ifcfg-eth1
(or eth2, etc. as appropriate). Place the following within it:
DEVICE=eth1
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
TYPE=Wireless
% modprobe ipw2100
% ifup eth1
If you have DHCP configured on your network, and you have a wireless access
point nearby, you should be up and running.
You can check and see if your interface is up by running
% ifconfig eth1
To test the connection, you can ping a machine using the wireless interface:
% ping ipw2100.sf.net -I eth1
If you want to use the wireless interface for all traffic, set up the default
gateway to go through it. I usually perform the following:
Disable eth0 completely
% ifdown eth0
Configure the routing table to go through the wireless NIC
% route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth1
If you had brought down eth0 before you load the ipw2100 module, the system
should set up your routes for you.

Is somebody able to translate that into something that can be used in Slackware?
Hopefully, once that is sorted out my wireless should be working.
Thanks in advance!!
