>From a website google has cached, (the online version forbids access (403): *Wireless Network Adapter Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG MiniPCI Adapter* I chose to use the ipw2200 drivers for this *card*. At this time it is said that adhoc mode does not work which is not a problem for a majority of people since they usually use access points anyways. My *card* works perfectly with these drivers though. You need to make sure that you enable the following in the kernel to use these drivers though: CONFIG_CRYPTO_ARC4=y CONFIG_CRYPTO_MICHAEL_MIC=y After that, just emerge net-*wireless*/ipw2200 and then follow the directions that it gives after installing if you want to automatically load the modules. I’ve tried this with B and G networks with different configurations, but haven’t tested it with an A *network*, but don’t see any problems when I do eventually come across one. http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:ZKuCKQO2cHYJ:james.jamesandkristin.net/%3Fp%3D19+Dell+Inspiron+6000+wireless+network+card+linux+driver&cd=5&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=firefox-a Now, this was written for Gentoo, but for which ever distribution, the kernel and driver stuff should be the same, so if you start hunting around for ipw2200 debian, you should be well on your way :)
