ipw2200 wont work, some please help me out :-)

Hey ppl,

my ipw2200 wont work on my laptop (newst archbuild)
on gentoo works ipw2200 perfectly.

I do pacman -Sy ipw2200
after i edit the configs

 pacman -S ipw2200(ipw2100)
4. Edited /etc/rc.conf:
Code:

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth1)

5. Edited /etc/conf.d/wireless:
Code:

wlan_eth1="eth1 mode managed essid default" (habe bei mir stehen "eth1 mode auto essid ArcorWirelessLAN channel 6 key s:B1Qd9R8nWUKMn")
WLAN_INTERFACES=(eth1)

6. Edited /etc/modprobe.conf:
Code:
alias eth1 ipw2200(ipw2100)

iwlist scan

lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.

sit0      Interface doesn't support scanning.

eth0      Interface doesn't support scanning.

eth1      Interface doesn't support scanning.

On booting screen comes a error like this

Nov 25 14:42:47 cleaopatra modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting hw_random (/lib/modules/2.6.14-ARCH/kernel/drivers/char/hw_random.ko): Input/output error

Nov 25 14:42:56 cleaopatra dhcpcd[5542]: dhcpStart: interface eth1 is not Ethernet or 802.2 Token Ring
Nov 25 14:43:05 cleaopatra eth0: no IPv6 routers present
Nov 25 14:43:16 cleaopatra dhcpcd[5731]: dhcpStart: interface eth1 is not Ethernet or 802.2 Token Ring
Nov 25 14:43:22 cleaopatra dhcpcd[4971]: dhcpConfig: ioctl SIOCADDRT: File exists

eth1 is my wireless ipw2200.

I feel very luck if someone help me out.

Thank you very much

Do you have ieee80211 installed ("pacman -Q ieee80211", to check)? Which kernel are you using? The one from current or the one from community?
