Hello folks,
I've just installed the new release of kanotix 2006-easter-rc4 (I've been using 2005-04 until now). The problem is I can't connect to wireless networks (i've already tried with netcardconfig). I've checked my /etc/network/interfaces and it is well configured. Also I can see my wireless card with ifconfig and iwconfig. However if I do iwlist eth1 scanning I've got eth1 No scans results.
The ouput for dmesg | grep ipw is:
Code:
root@driade:/home/jarlaxle# dmesg | grep ipw
ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, git-1.0.8
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2005 Intel Corporation
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
[] (ipw_isr+0x0/0xa0 [ipw2200])
ipw2200: Failed to send WEP_KEY: Command timed out.
ipw2200: Failed to send WEP_KEY: Command timed out.
ipw2200: Failed to send ASSOCIATE: Command timed out.
ipw2200: Failed to send SSID: Command timed out.
root@driade:/home/jarlaxle# dmesg | grep eth
sky2 eth0: addr 00:a0:d1:be:80:83
eth1394: eth2: IEEE-1394 IPv4 over 1394 Ethernet (fw-host0)
eth1: NETDEV_TX_BUSY returned; driver should report queue full via ieee_device->is_queue_full.
and the ouput for dmesg | grep eth1 is:
Code:
eth1: NETDEV_TX_BUSY returned; driver should report queue full via ieee_device->is queue_full
If I try to connect to my router by DHCP, I get "No DHCPOFFERS recived"
Could someone help me, please? I don't know what can I do to solve this problem. My laptop is Toshiba Tecra A4, centrino with "Intel corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection"
Thanks a lot,

Unfortunately, the ipw2200 version that came with the kernel on kanotix 2006-easter-rc4 really is misbehaving for quite a few people. You can try the wiki howto for upgrading to a more recent kernel, its not too hard and could improve things considerably. |

I've upgraded the kernel to 2.6.17.11-kanotix-2 version, but it haven't solved the problem.
Now, the dmesg ouput is:
ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, git-1.1.1
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
ipw2200: Detected geography ZZM (11 802.11bg channels, 0 802.11a channels)
[<f8df14e0>] (ipw_isr+0x0/0xa0 [ipw2200])
ipw2200: Failed to send SCAN_REQUEST_EXT: Command timed out.
eth1394: eth2: IEEE-1394 IPv4 over 1394 Ethernet (fw-host0)
eth1: NETDEV_TX_BUSY returned; driver should report queue full via ieee_device->is_queue_full.
I don't know what can I do to solve the problem. Someone have another idea, please?
Regards,

The zip file with the new kernel also contains a number of .deb files, updated drivers that come with the kernel. Look for something like ipw2200*.deb and try to install it.

Wrong, ipw2200 is part of current mainline kernels itself, no external module packages necessary (except perhaps acerhk or fsam7400 to activate certain software rf switches). |

I'm agree with slh. The ip2200 have been installed automatically with the kernel upgrade. I've checked it with "modinfo" and I can see the new version of ipw2200. I can't understand why wifi doesn't work
Another idea?
Thanks in advance,
Ruben |
