RE: Get Dell D810 to See Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG -- Etch

OK, now the card is seen by iwconfig. Had to install the firmware as
instructed, thanks.

Not able to connect to WAP, however, so need a couple of pointers there.
This system is set to connect by wire to my work LAN, so I think I need
a separate config file for when I am at home.

Home:

Network name: lmark_wlan
Band: 802.11g
Op. Mode: Network (Infrastructure)
Authentication Level: Open*
Data Encryption: None

*WAP denies all MAC addresses except those I permit manually. I'm
assuming this is not an issue since I connect to this WAP with this
laptop under M$ Window$ all the time.

The WAP is configured as DHCP server. I'm assuming once the two start
talking the rest will happen automatically?


Oh: One asked why I'm interested in staying at the command line. Two
reasons. First, I'm running Apache2 on a new Debian Sarge server
installation at work to serve an open source library program (KOHA) I'm
testing. I didn't install any X with that to save overhead. I want to
install a similar system on my laptop so I can play around with it off
the production server. I'm on etch on the laptop since it seemed the
2.6.18 kernel has better wireless-support out of the box. Second, I feel
that I will understand more of the workings of Debian/Linux by staying
at the command line. Why install and try to maintain a system you really
don't understand? No, I will never understand it like many of you, but I
can at least try to increase my understanding a little. We're a small
shop here, so I have to try to delve in as much as possible rather than
being able to outsource or draw on existing staff resources. I guess
that about sums it up.

Thanks,

Mark

--Repost due to user error in first post--sorry all.--

I need instructions to get an Intel Pro Wireless set up in Etch on a

Dell D810. System sees wired ethernet connection just fine. I have

located and tried to follow a couple of installation routines for the

wireless without success. Is it possible to point me to a step-by-step,

comprehensive, command line only, instruction for getting this card up

and working? I'm not running any X interfaces. Thanks much, Mark
