Hi!
Currently playing around with built-in wifi card in a laptop
(debian sarge kernel 2.6), according to lspci:
Network controller: Intel Corp. PRO/Wireless 2200BG (rev 05)
ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.2
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:0d.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'WEP'
Driver + Firmware downloaded:
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/
Got things working with WEP encryption, only downside, using scp
I'm lucky to get about 2 MByte/sec transfered while 'iwlist'
claims:
Current Bit Rate=54 Mb/s
I'd be fine with that if there wouldn't be short outages with the
following message from time to time:
ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting.
Anyone else seen this notice? Sure the problem is related to the
proprietary firmware crap, but the nic is built-in, so it would
be nice to get it running without these glitches.
