Inteal (R) Pro/Wireless 2200BG not working on Fedora 3

Expand Post »
Hi All,

I got Sony Vaio VGN-B88GP It has Intel (R) Pro/Wireless 2200BG onboard, Even though I followed instructions to install its firlware and drivers, It shows up in Hardware Browser but when I want to create a new connection It shows this device as a ethernet card instead of wireless card and it has no properties to make it on wireless network. All sort of help will be appriciated.

Thanks
Rajan

Re: Inteal (R) Pro/Wireless 2200BG not working on Fedora 3

Assuming you have your modules installed correctly .. Try doing a this ..
[ilaiy@ilaiy]$ /sbin/lsmod | grep ipw
ipw2100 85241 0
ieee80211 22341 1 ipw2100
[ilaiy@ilaiy]$


/sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid <nameofnetwork> key=<wepkey>

See if you get an IP address .. If you donot .. use

/sbin/dhclient -r
/sbin/dhclient eth1

All the best

./thanks
