Hi Everyone,

I am running knoppix on a Dell latitude D800 and I can't for the life of me get the Intell 2200BG to load.

I have tried downloading the source tar ball. Copiled against kernel-headers-2.6.7-1-686-smp. When I went modprobe the module it said that it was an invalid format. I couldn't get it to copile against kernel-headers-2.6.7-1.

I installed the deb package ipw2200-source and used the command "module-assistant a-i ipw2200". It would compile but the firmware wouldn't load. I have both 2.1 and 2.2 versions of the firmware in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware

Is there something I am missing??

This shouldn't be this hard. Am I going to have to recompile the 2.6 kernel that comes with Knoppix 3.7?


FYI - My running kernel
# uname -a
Linux josbox 2.6.7 #2 SMP Wed Jul 28 04:25:36 CEST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
