Intel 2200BG wireless problems
I know this has probably been posted before and hashed over again and again. I am a noob at linux and searched the net for a few hours looking for a solution to this problem. For starters i'm running suse 9.2 on a IBM R51. I got the version of suse from the novell download so it isn't the purchased one. I installed ipw-firmware and had the wireless working at one time, decided to upgrade to ipw2200 1.0.0. Upon doing this my wireless doesn't work any more and i get this in my dmesg file.
module ieee80211 unsupported by SUSE/Novell, tainting kernel. ieee80211: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_crypt_deinit_entries ieee80211: Unknown symbol ieee80211_crypt_deinit_entries ieee80211: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_crypt_delayed_deinit ieee80211: Unknown symbol ieee80211_crypt_delayed_deinit module ieee80211 unsupported by SUSE/Novell, tainting kernel. module ipw2200 unsupported by SUSE/Novell, tainting kernel. ipw2200: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_wx_set_encode ipw2200: Unknown symbol ieee80211_wx_set_encode ipw2200: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_wx_get_encode ipw2200: Unknown symbol ieee80211_wx_get_encode ipw2200: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_crypt_delayed_deinit ipw2200: Unknown symbol ieee80211_crypt_delayed_deinit ipw2200: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_wx_get_scan ipw2200: Unknown symbol ieee80211_wx_get_scan ipw2200: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_rx ipw2200: Unknown symbol ieee80211_rx ipw2200: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_rx_mgt ipw2200: Unknown symbol ieee80211_rx_mgt ipw2200: Unknown symbol free_ieee80211 ipw2200: Unknown symbol alloc_ieee80211 I get these errors even if i have the latest firmware installed and even tried ipw2200 1.0.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx Matt |
Same problem here.
Did you find a way to fix it ? |
I have the same lines in my dmesg. They are generated when my system tries to load the driver at boot time or when i try to manually load it using modprobe ipw2200. However, I have been able to get the wireless to work if i run the "load" program that came with the ipw2200 driver (from http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/). Have you tried that?
Unfortunately this means i have to manually load the drivers every time i want to use wireless. I am very much interested in a solution that would fix the auto loading of the drivers at boot. |
I have been unable to find docs on the 'load' script how do I load the module using that?

I solved it by updating to the latest kernel (2.6.8-24.11-default), and then reboot.
