 |
|
OK so i've no wireless on debian 6.0 on a IBM Thinkpad T42.
I love debian but for some reason I cannot get wireless to work on a thinkpad!!!
I can upload a hardinfo output if that would help!
Basically I've loaded up all the drivers I think I'm suppose to but could someone help me here go through it.
I've added the Intel IPW2100 chip module/driver I think.
Thank a million,
Derry Manley |

This posting is in the wrong forum section, it should really be in the "Help" section.
See here:
http://wiki.debian.org/ipw2200
and tell us how far you are getting, or which part you are having problems with.
Have you added the "non-free" component to /etc/apt/sources.list and installed firmware-ipw2x00 and wireless-tools ?
What is the output from:
and
| Code: | | sudo lshw -C network |
and

Have you followed the NetworkManager instructions for your specific desktop environment here:
http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse
?
Have you got networkmanager installed ?
Is your wireless network displayed when you click the networkmanager icon (by clock) ?
Have you tried entering the wireless network settings manually in networkmanager ?
What is the output from:
| Code: | | iwlist eth1 scanning |

Oh my god you are a legend!!!
I was totally going down the wrong track trying to install drivers, injecting modules etc...
I thought I had network-manager installed but obviously not.
Something called "Network monitor".
Totally put me off trying to install network manager
SO simple, I love the simple solutions!!!
Thanks,
Derry |
