Hi, I'm having a problem with the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 card's driver on Debian Lenny..
An "lspci | grep -i wireless" or "lscpi | grep -i 2200" does not uotput anything devices though Arch and Ubuntu display my wireless device.. I installed the firmware-ipw2x00 package and did a "modprobe ipw2200".. I Rebooted and then found that the .fw files were present in the /lib/firmware directory.. But a "dmesg | grep -i ipw2200" gave me nothing.. Then, i read http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/80014-intel-wireless-problems.html, i removed all ipw files from /lib/firmware, downloaded the latest files (ipw2200 v3.1) from http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net and manually copied all the files in the tarball to /lib/firmware and again did a "modprobe ipw2200". Another reboot and still, my wireless isn't working.. "ifconfig" outputs only two interfacces.. lo and eth0. No sign of anything even remotely like wlan0. "iwconfig" says there are no wireless extensions for both lo and eth0. A ls -l /lib/firmware gives the following output: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 191154 2009-05-02 17:40 ipw2200-bss.fw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 185428 2009-05-02 17:40 ipw2200-ibss.fw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 187836 2009-05-02 17:40 ipw2200-sniffer.fw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12007 2009-05-02 17:40 LICENSE.ipw2200-fw The gnome network manager also doesn't show any wireless networks. in ubuntu, I used to see two checkboxes "Enable Wired" and "Enable Wireless Networks".. But here, i don't see any reference to wireless networks at all.. Anything I can do to solve this and make Debian detect my wireless card? May the source be with you.
