similar to: Wireless networking with CentOS 4.4 on Dell laptop

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

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'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

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

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

I've just installed CentOS 5.3 on my Dell laptop and it seems to have detected and set-up my wireless card (BCM 4311) correctly as eth1. However, so far I haven't been able to activate it and have read the wiki http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless#head-320d6fcf09b7e16e0b15d19ef76adcb023a95938 which indicates that this card isn't actually supported in CentOS - but there has

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

Hi; I'm new to the CentOS list and I only have experience with CentOS 4.3/4.4 on desktops. I just installed CentOS 4.4 on a very old Dell Inspiron 3500 laptop. I choose the desktop option and then deleted the kde and gnome packages because I have only 192mb RAM and 4gb disk (total). I'd like suggestions on how to maximize the effective usage of the laptop with CentOS 4.4...as a

Hello Philip, In my test cases on Centos 6 or 7 I always run an elrepo kernel or build my own one from rewritten spec file. That helps me out to get Centos work as good it can be. Personal playground, those packages are unsigned!!! http://centos.cms4all.org/centos/7/ <http://centos.cms4all.org/centos/7/> <kernel> noarch git firmware kernel ml aufs - oh I was lazy <gstreamer>

Please note, I reinstalled, because a virus named windows 8 spontaneously "repaired" the drive eliminating the dual-boot. This time I configured wireless in the initial stage of installation from DVD, it did connect. But after install, after reboot, it appears not to be available. Have not yet installed any extra packages. $ rfkill list 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no

Hi, I have a IBM ThinkPat T30 a Cisco Aironet wireless internal in the laptop 802.11b only. It works great with open Acess points, but when i try to connect to encripted ones. I got the dialog box asking for the passphrase 128 bit, I enter it and after that i receive the dialog box again! Maybe my card do not support WEP or I am doing something wrong? Here is part of what i can see on

Hello Friends, This is my first post on CentOS mailing list. I am using CentOS since last 3 years and using Linux since 2003. I am Java Based ERP(http://ofbiz.apache.org/) developer and I truly appreciate the stability of CentOS as the Desktop machine for the developers. In the early 2003 I was using CentOS 4 then I moved to CentOS 5 stable release then before 1.5 month I installed CentOS 5.2

Good morning Philip, - To install a most vanilla kernel elrepo is a quick step look forward about kernel solution - Yes build own kernel by a special kernel specification for your machine. Why not? - Frozen a kernel in fact ?it works? with the right firmware for your wifi is a good solution. I got a mixed network with Windows 3.11 up to Windows 10 and Linux with OpenSuse, Ubuntu and a HPC Centos

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

Hi, I have a laptop DELL M90 with an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card. After installed new rpm drivers (see below), my card is recognized and I can see my wireless acces point with (iwlist - iwconfig) but it's impossible to connect to it. It seem that I can't obtain an IP address. In the log message I have "dhclient : DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval ) The
