Those are the standard lines for removing and inserting a module, but it still doesn't explain why your connection is dropping. Some modules have debugging options that can be turned on when the module is inserted. You can list them with: modinfo ipw2200 and apply them with: modprobe ipw2200 debug=1 [thats just an example, i don't know if that particular module has such an option, and I don't have an example card to test it on] dmesg or your kernel syslog should then have some more info.

I set this up a while ago, but it's working and solid. I'm using ipw-firmware version 2.3, software version ipw2200-1.0.4, and wireless tools version 28. Config in /etc/network/interfaces: # Wireless netork auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp pre-up iwconfig eth1 essid * pre-up iwconfig eth1 mode managed pre-up iwconfig eth1 channel 6 pre-up iwconfig eth1 key open ** And that's about it! Installed on debian, so the config files shouldn't be too different. Sounds like your hardware might be suspect?

RE: Intel 2200bg dropping connection ( was Re: wireless laptop card advice)
What encryption are you using? If WPA (which you should be) then how do you start wpa_supplicant ? I've had issues with wpa_supplicant where it doesn't hand off from one access point to another for minutes, or doesn't change from work to home or back reliably. And the stupid MS DHCP server at work that only allows one lease value for all reservations :-\ -Original Message- From: Steve Holdoway [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 15 September 2005 10:09 a.m. To: linux-users@it.canterbury.ac.nz Subject: Re: Intel 2200bg dropping connection ( was Re: wireless laptop card advice) I set this up a while ago, but it's working and solid.

Ah. None. Hangs head in shame Haven't got encryption to work yet. Although I do restrict connections by MAC address (better than nothing, I guess). Cheers, Carl.
