Thread: 32-bit Server 10.04 on IBM T43: No wireless, Fn+F5 not working


hi,

installed 32-bit server (no gui), version 10.04 on ibm t43. wireless radio doesn't work - tested trying ping other machines on network (via lan cable connection, ok. via wireless, failed ping). also, fn+f5 doesn't seem able switch off radio led. below excerpt lshw, showing wireless interface:

code:
  *-network disabled (but strangely, wireless led keeps blinking!)        description: wireless interface        product: pro/wireless 2200bg [calexico2] network connection        vendor: intel corporation        logical name: eth1        version: 05        width: 32 bits        clock: 33mhz        capabilities:              pm              bus_master              cap_list              ethernet              physical              wireless        configuration:              broadcast=yes              driver=ipw2200              driverversion=1.2.2kmprq              firmware=abg:9.0.5.27 (dec 12 2007)              latency=64              link=no              maxlatency=24              mingnt=3              multicast=yes              wireless=unassociated        resources: irq:21 memory:a8401000-a8401fff
i new linux, , don't know how go fixing via command line. have experience making wireless radio , associated fn+f5 key work t43, without going through gui? thanks!

which steps have made setup wireless network? it's bit more complicated inserting ethernet cable. have @ commands iwconfig, ifconfig , dhclient. if use wpa encryption need wpa_supplicant.

connect unsecured network called test:

ifconfig eth1 up
iwconfig eth1 essid test
dhclient eth1

*-network disabled message because networ isn't setup. supply info network setup if need more help.
