Do you mean scanning with tools like kismet ? This is not supported because the device must enter promiscious mode which isn't yet implemented !!! |

no i mean in the way of
| Code: |
iwlist wlan0 scanning
|
to find access points to connect to, when i try this i get
| Code: |
wlan0 No scan results
|
and since im using the internet through the wireless connection to the access point in my house im gonna say there is one there! |

Ok !!! Sure it works !!!
But don't forget to "initialize" the firmware first. You must type
for example, to "start" the driver. It tooks me a while before notice this 
Hope this was your problem... |

it is up, im using the interface as my network connection at the moment, yet it still reports that there are no access points present - while I was using ndiswrapper it would let me scan for access points even when i was associated and using one (same situation as now), scanning must be implemented for iwlist to report back that its successfully scanned as it were, its just not finding anything, and i know there is one there transmitting its essid |

When I reboot, eth1 isn't picked up.
That's one problem. Here's another:
When I don't have eth0(wired) connected, it does a long timeout. In my /etc/conf.d/net I added the following:
iface_eth0="dhcp"
iface_eth0="t -10"
Now it just flys by eth0. I was thinking maybe it wasn't 10 seconds, so I put 100,000,000 and it was still flew by.
Thanks for all your help. |
I'd like answer this if anyone else has?

Hi, i've been very interested with the support of the Intel 2100 PRO on my Thinkpad R40 and I emerged the driver and everything works fine and flawlessly.
The scan works fine tough  |

The ipw2100 driver has worked perfect for some weeks now, but when I started my computer yesterday the ipw2100 module hasen't load.
When I try modprobe ipw2100 I get:
| Code: | modprobe ipw2100
FATAL: Error Inserting ipw2100 (/lib/modules/2.6.3/net/ipw2100): Invalid module format |
I tried to remerge it, but it didn't help!?!?
What's wrong? |

I don't seem to have (lasting) control over the card with my laptop's wireless on/off button. When eth1 is up and I press the button, it goes down for a blink and then comes right up again. I'm pretty shure my button is hardware-matic (wired to the mini-PCi card or through the BIOS). The software seems to overrule it however. Maybe this is just a flaw in my settings? Am I forcing it too much? 
My laptop is an Acer TravelMate 803LCiB.
I would also like to press I can't wait till it can handle promisquous mode (monitor mode). I think they should make some haste on that (and on the global project as well). And while they're at it, why not throw in Ethereal, libpcap, Airsnort, ... support? 
Thanx,
Ciao |

| Using a Dell D600 and the Fn-wireless on/off works perfectly with .40pre. Gonna test the stability of WEP at work tommorrow and report back results. To the developers of this driver... if you read this THANK YOU!!! |

Hello
I have a centrino laptop. I am trying to get the .40pre2 running,
I have had .38 or 39 or whatever working. There is no emerge for .40pre at all so I am trying to do it my self and when I try to emerge hostap I get the following error

Any ideas? I have tried older versions with the same error. |

ipw2100 driver version 0.40 is "now" available here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ipw2100/ipw2100-0.40.tgz?download
Addendum:
Got it to compile, but only the "av5100" module would load. The "ipw2100" module wouldn't. So it's back to the 0.39 driver for now. (Running gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.5) |

| The ipw2100-0.40 ebuild works great but doesn't seem to work with 0.41 when I change the name of the ebuild. There seems to be a change in the way it looks for hostap. Either way Thanks, works great, I no longer need to use ndiswrapper! |

It seems that hostapdriver has to be emerged with:
| Code: | | ARCH=i386 emerge hostap-driver |
Otherwise a nonfatal error will occur (system.map will not be updated). Nonfatal in the sense that emerge will not complain, but ipw2100 module may not load due to undefined symbols.
Also, hostap-driver has to be re-emerged after a new kernel has been installed.

As for any other module that has been emerged (ipw2100, cisco-vpnclient-3des, shfs, ati-drivers, ...).
I had no problem using :
| Code: | | FEATURES="-sandox" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge ipw2100 |
Maybe because ipw2100 ebuild performs a "depmod" at the end of the emerge !? |

Indeed, but somehow it failed to register with my brain that hostap-driver created/installed kernelmodules.
For now... sitting on the balcony, in the sun (they say it's 20 Gr. C, and I tend to believe them) with my laptop, wirelessly connected to the internet.
Life is sweet.
Tnx for the ebuild |

For me 0.41 either gives a kernel panic, or an oops that kills my keyboard, except ctrl-alt-delete...
But I see a lot of this on ipw2100's bug database, so I don't think that it's your ebuild being screwed...

I emerged ipw2100 (version 0.39). Then I added ipw2100 to my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. I copied /etc/init.d/net.eth0 to /etc/init.d/net.eth1. I entered my /etc/conf.d/net and added iface_eth1="dhcp" and dhcpcd_eth1="-t 5". Then I did an 'rc-update add net.eth1 default' and then did a '/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start' and I get the following:
| Code: |
deadaim root # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
* Bringing eth1 up via DHCP... [ !! ]
|
When I reboot, it tries to load eth1 and says 'netmount was not started'.
I am totally out of ideas here. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks. |

In your kernel, do you have support for firmware loading? If not, you can see how when you emerge the driver.
Maybe try to start with a fixed ip, just to see if the card is able to go up at all...
What does "dmesg" say?
What does "iwconfig eth1" say?

dmesg doesn't return anything relevant to my wireless card or eth1.
