Hi Arch
On my laptop my network has worked just fine until suddenly. The wireless network isn't starting anymore? from one day to the other - and I don't know the reason. My friend build a time ago the packages that we have been using.
The laptop is a IBM R51. I've got dual boot on it and in windows that netwotk works just fine without any problems.
Today I've totally reinstall the laptop - Cause i really need that to work on my school. But still I can't get it started. After modprobe and installing the packages as I normally have done - nothing happens ???
I there some big changes in the kernel or anywhere else that could make that happend ?
I would like to post lsmod and all those files - but they are normal and also as I can see from others post.
Have anybody got a clue ?

on my fresh; sidenote: first; install of Arch (about 2 weeks ago, just before gimick ><) i had to update the firmware before the module would load properly.
# pacman -S ipw2200-fw
if you can't get on the internet from arch, here is a link to the package you can download it from windows then.
hope that helps you.

But when I boot up in windows it works well - but I can't figure why it doesent do it in Arch. And I'm sure that the netcard is working???
But else - can't figure it out ?
