  D-Link Wireless LAN on SUSE 10
Posted by: hybrid - 2006-01-20, 09:34 PM - Forum: Wireless - Replies (7)


Following on from this post (yes, it was successful), I am now trying to help a friend set up his wireless network on SUSE Linux 10 on an IBM Thinkpad. Having never done any wireless network stuff before (don't have a laptop), I don't know what to do to get the card to work. I have searched around and heard of ndiswrapper, but I have no idea how this works/how to set it up. I have also been doing extensive Googling to no avail.

 

Judging by the problems anyweb had with SUSE 10, I don't think I can do this myself.

 

The card is a PCMCIA D-Link DWL-G650+ AirPlusG+ CardBus Wireless LAN and it works perfectly on Windows XP. I have tried removing and adding the card from YaST2's LAN module numerous times with different settings to no avail. The card doesn't even light up in Linux. Here is the result of ifconfig:

 



Code:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0A:E4:3A:51:73              inet6 addr: fe80::20a:e4ff:fe3a:5173/64 Scope:Link            UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1            RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0            TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0            collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000             RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

Any help on this would be a great help, and thanks in advance.

  after yum update, gnome-applets don't load
Posted by: anyweb - 2006-01-20, 12:52 PM - Forum: Fedora Core Release 5 - No Replies


if you get the following type of errors after an update in FCR5t2

Quote:The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_BattstatApplet". Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration ?
 

then as root do as follows (note it is one line, not two)

 



Code:
for f in /usr/lib*/bonobo/servers/*.server; do sed -ie 's|$(LIB)|$LIB|' $f; done




 

 

more info here

restart X or restart the computer to see the fix.

as root i've uninstalled and reinstalled gaim using yum,

 

gaim worked just fine up until yesterday and the only things that changed were two large yum updates

 

gaim starts just fine as root, but of course I don't want to use it as root.

 

any ideas ?

  Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG (rev 05)
Posted by: anyweb - 2006-01-18, 09:11 PM - Forum: Wireless - Replies (1)


hi, first of all, this new distro is nice ! ESPECIALLY if you do

 



Code:
yum update




 

followed by

 



Code:
yum update




 

the new kernel and login screens are worth it. ok, once done you want to get your intel wireless to work don't you ? well it wont until you download the intel drivers from here or alternatively i'll post the driver/firmware and ieee crypt drivers in this post for your convenience (they were the ones I used). Unzip the attached file and in there you'll have the three tarballs namely

 

 

Quote:-rw-rw-r-- 1 anyweb anyweb 66280 Jan 18 13:22 ieee80211-1.1.9.tgz-rw-rw-r-- 1 anyweb anyweb 125280 Jan 18 13:15 ipw2200-1.0.10.tgz

-rw-rw-r-- 1 anyweb anyweb 270419 Jan 18 13:17 ipw2200-fw-2.4.tgz
once done, read the INSTALL from intel, if you don't then don't blame me if you run into 'fatal errors' when trying to  



Code:
modprobe ipw2200




 

I know that, because I did get those errors, so I RTFM'd and all was well after that.

 

 

In a nutshell what I had to do was:-

 

rmmod the three intel references in 'lsmod'

 

namely

 



Code:
rmmod ipw2200
rmmod ieee80211
rmmod ieee80211_crypt




 

once done, i tried to compile the ipw2200 driver, which errored out because it wanted the ieee stuff loaded first....

 

so i compiled that as follows...

 



Code:
make IEEE80211_INC=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.15-1.1858_FC5-i686/include/net/ieee80211.h

make install




 

and then back to the ipw2200 driver.

 

Once I got them working (took some time and lots of reading) I had to load the firmware. That was easy enough, just copied it to

 

/lib/firmware

 

Once done, I did

 



Code:
modprobe ipw2200




 

and it failed with a fatal error !!!! :(

 

it was at this time that i then re-read the INSTALL.txt file (renamed from INSTALL as the forums don't want a file with no extension).

 

in particular i did all three things here

 

Quote:1) Remove any old ieee80211 and ipw2200 driver modules from /lib/modules/{VERSION}. Find them via:

 

% for i in ieee80211 ipw2200; do \

find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -iname ${i}*; done

 

Remove whatever that finds, including directories and .h files (create

backup files, unless you're feeling adventurous!).

 

Failure to remove old modules may result in unresolved symbols

when you try to load your new drivers.

 

 

2) Comment out or remove any CONFIG_IEEE80211 or CONFIG_IPW declarations

in kernel's autoconf.h. Find with:

 

% for i in IEEE80211 IPW; do \

grep CONFIG_${i} \

/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/autoconf.h; done

 

Use c-style comments (i.e. /* */) to comment out each line that it finds.

Use a pair of /* */ for each line separately, instead of trying to comment

out a block of several lines with a single pair of /* */.

 

 

3) Comment out or remove any CONFIG_IEEE80211 or CONFIG_IPW declarations

in kernel's .config. Find with:

 

% for i in IEEE80211 IPW; do \

grep CONFIG_${i} \

/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/.config; done

 

Use shell-style comments (i.e. #) to comment out the entries it finds.

 

Failure to comment out these lines in steps 2) and 3) may affect the build

of your new module; settings in the ipw2200 Makefile are overridden by

settings in the kernel configuration.

 

 

 

8. BUILDING EXTERNAL (outside kernel source tree)
 

 

 

after all that ^^^^ :/ i recompiled the ieee bit, then re-compiled the intel driver and then did

 

 



Code:
modprobe ipw2200




 

 

and it worked ! no errors !

 

and not only that when I start neat now I get the intel wireless card listed whereas before it was nowhere to be seen, see attached screeshot !

 

cheers
