Hello everybody,

some days ago I've posted my problem in the notebook section of this forum - no answer or tip was given. So I tried and tried and tried - but nothing worked.

Is there any possibility to access wireless lan via IPW 2100 3B? I see, the driver is loaded, and I can scan the network for ESSID's but i am not able to set the ESSID id via "iwconfig eth0 "XYZ" - the encryption key can be set via "iwconfig eth0 enc ............." - I think my problem is the ESSID - it remains empty - no chance to get any value into it.

Has anybody an idea to solve this issue? Yesterday i checked out a netgear pcmcia wlan card - and it worked fine. But I want to use the onboard mini PCI wlan card.

Is ist possible that the driver for the card included in KNOPPIX 3.6 is not working correctly?

thx for answers and helping.
