I am having an issue getting my onboard wireless card to get detected and enabled when running DSL.I read that DSL is built from Knoppix. When I try Knoppix 3.4 on my T40, my card gets detected and I can configure it and get on the network. When I try with the latest DSL, my wireless card does not get detected. Anybody know why this is the case ? ta! Posted by SaidinUnleashed on Sep. 25 2004,19:41
yeah, John forgot to put the firmware for the ipw2100.o module into DSL. you can get it yourself from the project's sourceforge page.ipw2100.sourceforge.net if i remember right (slow conn today or i'd check) hopefully, it will be in the next release. Posted by cbagger01 on Sep. 25 2004,21:54
Or if you already have a copy of a "working" version of knoppix 3.4 you can just copy that file over from the knoppix CD to your DSL system.If you are a livecd/poormans/frugal user it would not be too difficult to create a tiny ipw2100.dsl extension that contains this file and places it in the right spot. You would then probably need to either manually install the driver (sudo modprobe ipw2100 , or sudo insmod ipw2100) and then run one of the newtork config scripts, or you could try and re-run the knoppix autodetect script and see if it works correctly the second time around. Something like sudo /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig |
