  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

-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

  EISA configuration????
Posted by: hybrid - 2006-01-18, 06:16 PM - Forum: How Do I? - Replies (5)


I want to help a friend rig up a new laptop with Linux, but preferably without wiping off the current Windows installation. The distro of choice is likely to be SUSE. The reason this is a Windows question is that there is this weird partition already on the laptop in addition to the C: drive which I don't know what does and that I haven't seen before.

 

Screen: [Image: compmgmt.png]

 

Is it safe to wipe off that second partition and put Linux in that space? If not, how will it be possible to resize the partition? I'm confused, because I never use the images of Windows that come preinstalled, I always wipe and start from scratch.

 

Any help would be great, thanks.

  how do i know if my server is running good/fair/bad
Posted by: Addy - 2006-01-18, 09:10 AM - Forum: How Do I? - Replies (4)


Hello all,

 

I would like you know if there is a rule of thumb or a chart that could feel me how the server is coping.

 

I have a Bandwidth hourly monitor, and in shell using "TOP" i can see the load and the CPU usage and Memory usage.

 

What i would like to know is, for example:

 

the server is using 1Mbit of the connection constantly, the load fluctuates from 0.85 - 1.57 and the CPU is about 30% including Hyper-Threading

 

How would i know, maybe by a calculation if the server is coping well or not with the values given. I do not have a problem with the server, but i would like to know more on how to see if there is a problem with the capabilities of the server at anytime if a problem comes up, and if its the server doing to much or not.

 

I hope this is explained ok.

 

Thank you.

  Fedora Core Release 5 test 2 screenshots
Posted by: anyweb - 2006-01-17, 10:32 PM - Forum: Linux - Replies (2)


here you go,

 

what do you think ?

 

sure looks like a nice os, if i can get wireless working properly (didnt have time to figure out whats wrong) then i'll stick with this for a week or more until i get a clear picture of the updates !

 

but in brief, for the first time ever standby works ! (remember i've gone through fcr1,2,3,4 and now this test release of 5t2)

 

also the 'locked screen' username/pass dialog box is just plain gorgeous !

 

when i get more time to look at it i'll try and put a short review together

 

in the meantime enjoy

 

cheers

  Annoying Internet blocks at school.
Posted by: arbalest - 2006-01-17, 08:34 PM - Forum: How Do I? - Replies (6)


hey all. I have 2 really boring and really easy computer classes at school. Like every web-site that isnt school related is blocked, its crazy. Sometimes I use proxy sites, but those only work to a certain extent. I even tried running a Linux Live cd on the computer, and tried going on the net on that, still the web sites were blocked, which means its all on the schools sever. I want to be able to surf the web freely, and play games and stuff.

 

Is there anyway I could use my computer at home as a sever or something and go to the internet through it?

 

anyone know how to do this?

 

I have a 1 gig flash drive, so storing data and stuff shouldnt be a problem.

 

thanks.
