I'm trying to setup a laptop with an IPW2200 to function as an AP...

I'm not even sure if the IPW2200 works atm. iwconfig shows this...

eth0 no wireless extensions.

bond0 no wireless extensions.

lo no wireless extensions.

shaper0 NWID:2 Frequency:2 kHz

dummy0 no wireless extensions.

eql no wireless extensions.

ipddp0 no wireless extensions.

eth1 no wireless extensions.

teql0 no wireless extensions.

tunl0 no wireless extensions.

gre0 no wireless extensions.

sit0 no wireless extensions.

ip6tnl0 no wireless extensions.

irlan0 no wireless extensions.

I've run through everything I can think of, but nothing words...

Modprobing causes no errors in dmesg

And nothing else appears to make sense as to why its not working... any ideas?

Since you have an E1000 ethernet driver, we can assume that this is 'eth0'.

Your focus would be eth1.

I'd try

Code: Select all

# ifconfig eth1 up
# ifconfig eth1

and see if that works...

At first nothing... now I get this after a recompile of the drivers (Ffs)

Code: Select all

dancer ~ # ifconfig eth1

heh. Stupid thing gave me "no device" or some crap before a recompile (updated to 2.6.13 kernel)
