well if you use an non arch standard kernel you are on your own
my package should only work flawlessly with the standard kernels.

It works indeed, with an error...
But it's prolly ipw2200's fault

wlan0: NETDEV_TX_BUSY returned; driver should report queue full via ieee_device->is_queue_full.

Good moring.
I have Problems to get ipw2200 working on my computer.
I'm using the packets from ArchLinux:

/etc/conf.d/wireless

This messages comes at startup and every time I try to iwconfig eth1:

root [/home/jo]
iwconfig eth1 mode auto essid HOME__jo channel 6 key xxxxx
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.

This is a part of dmesg.
I think that the firmware isn't loaded.

What's wrong? And yes, the card is on.

I have this in my #dmesg ...

ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection

I didn't see this in yours.

hehejo_ · 2005-10-12 10:27:02

You are definitely right.
I'm gonna grep after it this afternoon.

What's wrong if my dmesg is missing this line?

hehejo_ · 2005-10-12 14:48:48

Hi, here's my grepresult.
The line is definitely not there!

What now?

Michiel · 2005-10-12 21:00:59

I think it can't find your ipw2200 network card..

hehejo_ · 2005-10-13 05:23:02

But why? Even hwd finds the card!

that says 2100 not 2200
try pacman -S ipw2100
thanks

hehejo_ · 2005-10-13 06:21:55

Thank you. :oops:
IT'S WORKING!
*dancing*

hehejo_ · 2005-10-13 14:26:45

How can I give my wlanadapter a fixed IP like 192.168.1.11 and not an IP by dhcp in the startup?
I know
ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.11 up

Goophy · 2005-10-24 14:22:38

I'm having the exact same problems.
Full cpu use when in monitor and lots of
'ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting
ipw2200: Sysfs 'error' log already exists'

Do we need a new firmware or something?

prokrypt · 2006-04-06 03:32:31

I recently upgraded my kernel + ipw2200 firmware (pacman -Syu) and I noticed that monitor mode works without firmware errors/100% cpu usage anymore! w00t =]

I just started to read the whole thread on this topic until I realised that it was 6 month old.. Nice to see it (also) work for you!
