Is there any way I can find a driver and/or get the above wireless card working in CentOS 5 on my Dell laptop (Inspiron 1501). I've installed ipw2200 from RPMForge, but it now appears that this won't work because the card is not an Intel PRO/Wireless card. Dell seem to support only MS Windows Vista now so I don't think there's much chance of getting a driver from them - so am I on

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

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

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

Has anyone else had any problems with getting wifi to work after upgrade ?

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, 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

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.

-----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,

Can anyone recommend compatible wireless cards for desktops? Also what software/packages/etcwould I need to get the devices working? I have the centrino ipw2200 pkg running nicely on my laptop, I suspect that none of the desktop wireless cards will be this easy...

Has anyone seen a supported hardware list on CentOS 6? I've been looking around for the last few days; even looked at RedHat's site but didn't find one. I've got a Dell Inspiron 1501 with a Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN mini-card in it and I'm trying to find out if it's going to have native driver support for the WIFI. thanks, -- Mark Weaver Computer Information Systems

Hi all! I tried to use CentOS5 on an IBM Thinkpad R52 which has an Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Mini-PCI Adapter installed. I downloaded the firmware from the DAG-Repo (afaik 3.0.0) and added a "alias eth1 ipw2200" to modules.conf. After the module was loaded successfully (including the firmware) I was able to configure the card. For simplicity I didn't use any encryption. My

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

Hello This might not be a 'pure' * question, but it is relevant to general VOIP technology. I tried x-lite on my notebook with wireless connection(802.11). The software has been tested with the fixed line connection. It worked fine to call through *. When using wireless connection, it is clear on my side using notebook; however, there is loud noise on the other side of the call which uses
