OfflineMy computer comes standard with a Intel 2200BG Wireless card. I have installed ipw2200, no luck and have installed the drivers, no luck. I have installed lots of tools and tried many things but it says I have no card. In my BIOS is says MiniPCI not installed under Wireless (dunno if that is important) and it says Wireless On.
Is there anything I can do ?
Thanks 
Hmm, what can you see with the command
dmesg.Look through it for something that might say something relative to your card.
Does it show up with the command
iwconfig?Have you
modprobe´d it?Login or register to post comments 0 points
Does "lsmod | grep ipw" look like this?
Are you sure you have the firmware and not only the kernel module? The firmware package is probably named "ipw2200-fw" or something like that, and it probably is in the restricted repository.
CAN I HAS FIXD CAPSLOK KEE PLZ?

tylerking@hell:/tmp$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
ppp0 no wireless extensions.
tylerking@hell:/tmp$ lsmod | grep ipw
ipw2200 115652 0
ieee80211 35272 1 ipw2200
To install the firmware I did "sudo tar -xvf ipw2200-fw-3.0.tgz -C /lib/firmware" which I found on a Debian tutorial site. I also did modprobe ipw2200 with no errors.
So what is the problem do you think ?

Post the output of dmesg to http://rafb.net/paste/ or as an attachment.

Hmmm, dmesg isn't showing anything having to do with wireless.
Is this a PCI or PCMCIA card? If it's a PCI card, post the output of lspci; if it's a PCMCIA card, post the output of lspcmcia.

No detection indicated there either. Is the card detected in any other OS? If not, open up the computer and be sure the card is in all the way.
