Hi all, I've got a Dell Inspiron 1501 with a Broadcom 1390 Wlan mini card (integrated) wireless lan chipset. I've got an init script setup to activate the wireless connection at boot time, however when the system boots the adapter doesn't connect. I'm not able to get a connection until after the desktop is done loading and I run the script from the command line. After some

Installed CentOS 5 on my Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop, hoping that it will be easier to set up wireless networking than it was in CentOS 4.4. But still sooooo difficult to get it working, mainly because there doesn't appear to be a driver pre-installed for this wireless card ((Dell wireless 1390 Mini PCI network card 802.11b/g). Do I still have to use ipw2200 and what is this anyway? - I really

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All, I'm giving serious thought to loading 5.1 on my Inspiron 1501 laptop, but I'm wondering about certain hardware support such as the following: - - Broadcom Wireless Adapter - 1390 Wlan (bcm43xx) - - USB (Pny Memory Stick - everytime on previous version CentOS has eaten the damned things) - - pptp vpn client(s) Any comments? thanks,

I am going to be setting up an Intel 2200bg card this evening. I was wondering if anyone is using this (successfully) with CentOS 4. The directions look straightforward, but please let me know if you had to do anything interesting/undocumented to make it work. I am also wondering if people are using the driver provided with the current CentOS 4 kernel or if people are using the most recent

This is a new Centos 5.1 install on a HP nc2400 (that use to run XP). Completely clean install; blew away the XP partitions... After applying all the updates, and configuring for the rpmforge repo, I used yumex to install dkms and the dkms-ipw3945, ipw3945-firmware, and ipw3945d rpms. lsmod|grep ipw shows: ipw3945 180391 1 ieeee80211 33417 1 ipw3945 and dmesg)grep

Greetings: I'm just installed Centos-4 on an IBM T-21 laptop. So far so good. Now I'd like to pop in a wireless lan adapter. I'm looking at a buying a Linksys WPC54G adapter (although I haven't done so yet). After doing some searching, it looks like the best way to get this card working is via ndiswrapper [http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net] and then to use Windoze

I've installed ipw2200-firmware-3.0-3.nodist.rf from RPMForge using yum OK. I've loaded the ipw modules with /sbin/modprobe ipw2200 and then /sbin/lsmod | grep ipw which gives: ipw2200 136873 0 ieee80211 33417 1 ipw2200 However, when I run system-config-network I don't see Intel Coporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG (eth1) in the list of adapters. Also, when I

I ordered and just received today a new Dell Inspiron 640m laptop (it also goes by the name E1405). Anyone tried installing CentOS on this laptop? It's the wireless drivers I'm most concerned about; it's got the Dell 1390 internal wireless card (not the Intel wireless). Anyone have some feedback, on the wireless or any other issues, on running CentOS on this laptop? Thanks Paul

Hi, after some time without FreeBSD I installed 7.1 on an IBM Thinkpad T30 (with ZFS root on encrypted geli, works great).

Hi there I am just writing to find out if anyone else had an issue installing CentOS 5 on an inspiron notebook. If I choose Desktop - Gnome in the distribution selection, after the "transferring image to hard disk" message it waits a very long time than dies with an error about not being able to run the transaction due to the following error: Press enter to reboot. I am able

OK, I've downloaded and unzipped the firmware files in ipw2200-fw-3.0.tgz - so I have 4 files: ipw2200-bss.fw, ipw2200-ibss.fw, ipw2200-sniffer.fw and LICENSE.ipw2200-fw, all of which I've placed in the /lib/firmware directory. Unfortunately, the instructions in README.ipw2200 and INSTALL are not clear as to what to do next. I'm using CentOS 5 on my (Dell) laptop so setting-up wireless

Trying to set up wireless networking with CentOS 4.4 on a (new Dell) laptop and have looked at http://www.ces.clemson.edu/linux/fc2- ipw2200.shtml and http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php? topic_id=2532&forum=30 regarding use of ipw2200, which is included in the kernel. The problem is that it doesn't appear to be actually installed/loaded because the Intel Corporation

Hi ALL, Short description of my problem: I am not able to make wireless network working on the IBM ThinkPad T43p. System: T43p OS: CentOS 4.4 kernel: 2.6.9-34.EL firmware: ipw2200-firmware-3.0-3.nodist.rf.noarch.rpm What did I do ? - installed firmware from RPM package - removed kernel driver (/sbin/rmmod ipw2200) - installed kernel module (/sbin/modprobe ipw2200) dmesg output:

This may not be the best place to ask, but Google hasn't given me any useful information. I have an "older" laptop that is using the Intel 2200 wireless interface. I installed CentOS 5 on it some time ago and everything is fine. When I was reviewing my kickstart setups I found that the ipw2200 firmware package is no longer available in RPMForge.

Has anyone had any luck with getting the Dell TrueMobile 1400 A/B/G wireless card working under Linux? I have experimented with ndiswrapper, i have had nothing but problems trying to get it to work. I was wondering if anyone has found a native Linux driver for the card. It uses a Broadcom 4309 chipset. Regards, Peter

WPA-2 (WPA Enterprise) fails with the new kernel(s) using ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant. I haven't tried other authentication modes because that entails changes in the wireless setup which I am loathe to make right now. (It's a Broadcom mini pci card, so I have to use ndiswrapper with this Dell laptop. Bummer!). Rebuilding the newest wpa_supplicant rpm from the FC5 source rpm's

I've got CentOS 5 installed on my hp pavilion ze 5300 laptop and the network configuration UI says my wireless NIC has been correctly identified and assigned what appears to be the right Broadcom device driver on eth1. However, the inteface doesn't come up. Google doesn't find anything recent about using Linux with Broadcom except for someone's passing remark that Ubuntu 7 beta

In 5100 and 1100 series Inspirons Intel 2915abg cards work MUCH cooler than the original Broadcoms, don't choke up in hot weather like the original Dell cards and don't require ndiswrapper. (All of 2 Notebooks were tested outdoors at 98 deg F ambient. Dropouts occured in both Centos 4.4 & XP on these dual boot notebooks with the Dell Mini-PCI's, none with 2915's). The only
