I am using a Samsung P30 Notebook and emerged ipw2100 version 0.44 successfully.
after doing ipw2100 and hostap are loaded.
dmesg gives me the following: | Code: | | eth1: RF Kill state changed to radio OFF. |
I tried to change the settings for my wlan card but | Code: | | iwconfig eth1 channel 10 commit |
returns with | Code: | Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) :
SET failed on device eth1; Operation not supported. |
I have no idea how to fix this. Maybe i just have to wait for a new driver/firmware release. |

I'm having exacly the same problem with on my lapshit, it can't establish a connection to the access point (the wireless led blinks). However, it can detect my accesspoint:
"iwlist eth1 scan" is working and reports the accesspoint and blah, blah.
Well, it seems that for some laptops it should be necessary a soft-driver to enable the use of the wireless card by pressing the appropiate function-key located most of the times asside the keyboard.
Check at: http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~tauber/acerhk/ and try if acerhotkeys driver suits for your laptop funtion-key's pad. Many acer models appear to be covered.
It doesn't seem to work for my aopen 1555 lapshit-box. Anyway i'll keep on trying other brand-dependant keypads drivers and see if I can avoid the bloody "RF kill state" message.
kernel 2.6.5 and ipw2100 ver. 0.44.
Good luck (it's gonna be needed!!).
Pao.

It is working now. here is what I did:
enable ACPI support in your kernel (I use 2.6.6 at the time of writing) and emerge acpid. Notebook Hotkeys are producing ACPI Messages now (compare dmesg).
My wlan Hotkey is hardwired and successfully turning ON the RF Switch if i press it. |

Uh! I'm sourprised. I so use acpi/acpid too. At the moment i'm watching my acpid events from /var/log/acpid file and my key pad is not reporting anything (kernel 2.6.5). It can be a matter of my lapshit instead of a kernel version? I don't see messages in dmesg for those events beacuse I don't have activated the acpi debug festure in my kernel.
Well , I'll check 2.6.6 to see what it happens...
Just to know..which kernel where you using before?
Good to know!

i used 2.6.6 from the beginning. so I cant say if it is a kernel problem.
Make sure acpid is running. | Code: | | # /etc/init.d/acpid start |
And make it starting at boot time
| Code: | | # rc-update add /etc/init.d/acpid boot |

Ive had that problem too. Make sure the new firmwares are in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
there are three, i think one of the firmware is for monitor mode  |

Ouh ..I do have three files there from the last time I emerged the driver.
Aaargh, no solution yet for my shit top.. if we look at the laptop matrix shown a the
http://rfswitch.sourceforge.net/?page=laptop_matrix (from the project's sourceforge page).
It seems that for some models we'll have to wait for a new driver....
Unless someone find's the appropriate way to switch on the RF-Swith (software ...).

Has anyone know how to use the driver in conjuction with wpa?
I tried once before but I could not figure it out. There was some daemon but I could not figure anything out.
Anyone had success at this?

i am posting to see, whether i am the only with problems using the 0.46r1 ebuild. i can scan, see my ap but i cannot associate with it.
downgrading to 0.45 solves the problem and works like a charm.
i didn't find something to this in bugzilla, anybody got an idea? |

You need to enable CONFIG_CRYPTO, CONFIG_CRYPTO_ARC4 and CONFIG_CRC32 in your kernel.
They now use the encryption and decryption algorimths provided by the kernel instead of the hostap.

|

Hi,
I am a new user in gentoo, i bought T41 ThinkPad and i try to play with my wireless card. i emerge ipw2100 and done what was writen in one of the forums. I hadnt created net.eth1 or something eles (i dont realy know how its works). I must say i only saw the led blinking, but i hadnt realy been connected with it to a wireless network (I was too lazy to go add my MAC address to the internet provider).
My problem is that this, ipw2100 module always pop up at startup and i dont want it to run at startup and i dont know how to disable it. The module ipw2100 isnt listeted in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
P.S
I am using kernel 2.6.7-r6 |

|
|
I've got a dell Latitude D800. In XP, device manager lists the Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3A Mini PCI adapter. But in Gentoo, when I run lspci, it only lists my DECchip 21140 (which only runs with the tulip driver and not the tg3 driver, but thats another issue). I've emerged ipw2100 but when I do modprobe it says:
FATAL: Error inserting ipw2100 (lib/modules/2.6.7/net/ipw2100.ko): Unknown symbol in modules, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
Any idea why lspci won't see my wireless chip, and does this have anything to do with the fatal error? By the way, I have updated the pciids.
Thanks for any help! |

| Nevermind, I figured it out. I was trying to install Gentoo in Microsoft Virtual PC, and for some reason it will not detect all the hardware. I booted the actuall pc (instead of just the virtual machine) from the gentoo boot cd and it saw everything, including the gigabit ethernet and the wireless card. Lesson learned: Microsoft blows. |

There is a bug in version 0.52 that prevents the driver from being unloaded correctly (this will result in a kernel panic). The solution is either not to try to unload it, or to use 0.51.
Here's the bugreport:  http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=174
Just in case someone is wondering why unloading the module doesn't work.

This is so starting to annoy me.
I also have a Aopen 1555 and cannot get the wireless to work! #"¤E"# It works partially. Heres the output of iwlist eth1:
adriele root # iwlist eth1 scanning
eth1 Scan completed :
Cell 01 - Address: 00:0D:54:9B:A7:62
ESSID:"gentoo"
Mode:Master
Channel:11
Bit Rate:1 Mb/s
Bit Rate:2 Mb/s
Bit Rate:5.5 Mb/s
Bit Rate:11 Mb/s
Quality=29/100 Signal level=-227 dBm Noise level=-98 dBm
Encryption key:off
And here is the dmesg:
ipw2100: eth1: Restarting adapter.
eth1: Using hotplug firmware load.
eth1: Radio is disabled by RF switch
eth1: Associated with 'gentoo' at unknown rate, channel 11
eth1: Association lost.
eth1: RF Kill state changed to radio OFF.
So it seems it gets a connection, but drops it after a second. And it irritates quite a lot. I saw there was one other hasseling with the aopen 1555. Did you get it to work at all?
Any help would be appriciated!! Deeply!
Kind Regards
Edmund Johansen

Install acerhk and run these commands:
modprobe --ignore-install acerhk && echo "on" > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled
modprobe ipw2100 |

Ok loaded version 1.0.5 today And check kernel and other things listed in thread DMESG shows if found card lsmod list module.
But I have not found a way to configure WEP/CKIP with CISCO authorizations.
anybody know if this is supported sourceforge did not list 802.1x and LEAP anywere?
The windozes versions of the 2100 driver support CISCO/LEAP..

Wait I don't have the /etc/conf.d/wireless examples listed hmm.
Baselayout is at -1.9.4-r6 hmmmm .
Ok masked got me here is my /etc/portage entries
| Code: |
hp6000 portage # cat package.unmask
=sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.10-r7
hp6000 portage # cat package.keyword
=sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.10-r7 ~x86
But still get
hp6000 portage # emerge -av =sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.10-r7
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.10-r7" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.10-r7 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.
|
Found out by using the gimme and umask scripts found on WIKI I got it working.
The only changes I see from my edited ones are UNMASk has -sys-apps/baselayout1.10.11* and the beta =sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_alpha* and sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_beta*
Also gimme added just package name in package.keywords.
Also the baselayout requires readline,bash,sysvinit at certian levels that needed unmask also. |

Hello,
I just installed the package "ipw2100" on Kernel 2.6.8 but I have not wireless extension device available.
Dmesg indicates errors:
| Code: |
ipw2100: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection
ipw2100: eth1: Firmware 'ipw2100-1.3.fw' not available or load failed.
ipw2100: eth1: ipw2100_get_firmware failed: -2
ipw2100: eth1: Failed to power on the adapter.
ipw2100: eth1: Failed to start the firmware.
ipw2100Error calling register_netdev.
ipw2100: probe of 0000:02:0a.0 failed with error -5
|
Can anybody help me?
Thx,
Ben

I just found this information:
| Quote: |
Firmware files fail to load even if installed
In some kernel configurations (users have most frequently reported the problem only with 2.6.9), the default timeout value for the hotplug subsystem is too low. You may have this problem if you see the following in your kernel log (via dmesg or /var/log/messages):
ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation
ipw2100: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection
ipw2100: eth1: Firmware 'ipw2100-1.3.fw' not available or load failed.
ipw2100: eth1: ipw2100_get_firmware failed: -2
ipw2100: eth1: Failed to power on the adapter.
ipw2100: eth1: Failed to start the firmware.
ipw2100Error calling regiser_netdev.
ipw2100: probe of 0000:02:02.0 failed with error -5
To work around this, you can increase the default timeout value:
echo 100 > /sys/class/firmware/timeout
and then reload the ipw2100 module. If this corrects your problem, you may wish to add the above line to your system startup scripts prior to the point at which the driver module would be loaded.
The other most common reason for getting the above error is that the firmware files are not installed in the correct location. Please see the INSTALL document for information on installing the firmware files.
|
But it doesn't help ...the firmware still not load. What does you think, kernel issue with version 2.6.8?
Thx,
Ben

I found a solution. The problem occurs because the package ipw2100-firmware extract the firmware file to /lib/firmware instead to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware. After copy manually the need file to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware I can load the modul correct. Fine 
Thx,
Benjamin
