Revision as of 18:35, 15 January 2006
The ipw2000 drivers loads clean on my t42 and the interface eth1 is accessible. However, the wireless-lan LED does not light and i cant connect. Havent figured out what this is.
Radio Switch utility needed
I have the same problem. WiFi adapter must be turned on before using. In Windows software utility is executed by Fn+F5 keys. This utility turns WiFi and/or Bluetooth adpters on/off. In Linux Fn+F5 controls only Bluetooth adapter. Unfortunately I can not find switch utility yet (10 Sep 2005).
Try using the usual hotkey hooks to activate the power management features described in the article. --Thinker 04:37, 18 Nov 2005 (CET)
Reliability problems
On a T43p ipw2200 v1.0.6 works well 95% of the time with WPA using wpa_supplicant. However it seemingly randomly causes trouble and refuses to connect (it is not the router, as non-linux devices work.) It always recovers with a killall wpa_supplicant, unloading the ipw2200 and ieee80211 modules, and reloading everything (you can even write a "netreset" script to do this for you automatically, as I have done.)
