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:
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!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
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.
