Wireless network card won't connect
I really appreciate everyone's efforts to assist me. Norgo, you've gone over and above. Please find below the three text files generated by your instructions. Peace, Scott p.s. I'm not sure what channel I'm using. I've tried open as well as wep with no results. I'm sure the card itself is compatible with my router because it will connect just fine when I'm using Windows 7.

vendor and device ID ?
Hi Scott,
I affraid there went something wrong.
You sent the module-info of kernelmodule ipw2100 two times but the module-info of ipw2200 is missing.
Also the most important info ( vendor and device ID ) is not present.
New attempt ?

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Sorry Norgo, Hopefully I got it right this time. Scott

Hello Scott,
this looks better
Now we know that an Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter is built-in and we got the exactly Vendor:Device Subvendor:Subdevice ID
We compare these ID's [8086:1043] [8086:2527] with the modeinfo output to check whether the loaded module is the right one
and whether we could use the ipw2200 instead.
Result:
ipw2100 is supporting our Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter
...
alias: pci:v00008086d00001043sv00008086sd00002528bc*sc*i*
alias: pci:v00008086d00001043sv00008086sd00002527bc*sc*i*
alias: pci:v00008086d00001043sv00008086sd00002523bc*sc*i*
...
also we get to know the firmware files:
...
filename: /lib/modules/3.14.55/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2x00/ipw2100.ko
firmware: ipw2100-1.3.fw
firmware: ipw2100-1.3-p.fw
firmware: ipw2100-1.3-i.fw
...
ipw2200 instead doesn't match to our hardware there is no hit. So it wouldn't support this hardware.
This means the right kernel module has been loaded.
You can check this by typing in a terminal: #lsmod | grep ipw2
Now we have to look whether the firmware files are present or not.
And yes they are and to find under:
/lib/firmware/ipw2100-1.3.fw
/lib/firmware/ipw2100-1.3-p.fw
/lib/firmware/ipw2100-1.3-i.fw
Now type
to check whether firmware has been loaded.
You should get something like this or similar:
# dmesg | tail
ipw2100: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver
ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2005 Intel Corporation
Detected ipw2100 PCI device at 0000:02:0b.0, dev: eth1, mem: 0xD0201000-0xD0201FFF -> 229c4000, irq: 9
eth1: loaded firmware version 1.3
ipw2100: Associated with '22cshepherd' at 11Mbps, channel 6
In this example you can see that the firmware has been loaded too.
In this case you can be optinistic and start a new try under Slacko 6.3.2
I cross the finger.

Here is a screen shot of what I'm finding in my wireless folder. Thanks, Scott

@Scott99: I'm pretty sure your 3 firmware files are there. Try this one
Code: Select all
cd /lib/firmware
ls ipw*

Unless there is some big reason to use Slacko Puppy.
I would try Tahrpup 6.0.5 or Xenialpup 7.5 and see if they work better.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
