Hi all,
sorry if I bother you with an old topic but so fare I haven't found
anything which really helped me with my problem in the mailing list.
I have an Dell Inspiron 510m with a Pentium M. The PC is fine apart for
the wireless. 10.1 detects my card but apparently I had to download and
install the firmware of the card as well and now firmware and card are
installed, it's detected but I can't use it.
Frist thing which is strange is the output for ifconfig:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] minos]# ifconfig
eth0 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:0D:56:E0:61:15

No wireless... but if I type ifconfig eth1 I get the wireless card:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] minos]# ifconfig eth1
eth1 Protokoll:UNSPEC Hardware Adresse
42-4F-C0-00-24-85-04-30-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenl�nge:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
In my opinion this is strange...
The card is installed since I get this output under dmesg:
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
ipw2100: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver, 0.54

e0f07000, irq: 7
eth1: Using hotplug firmware load.
I know I did something right but also something wrong, since I know
nothing about programing, IT or linux (apart using it) I am thankful for
any help and hint you might have
Alex
