Okay, marking this as WONTFIX, any specifics of the ipw2100 driver like this should definitely go to either the ipw2100-devel mailinglist (very helpful) or to the ipw2100 bug tracker. 0.40pre2 might fix this, i'm not putting those versions into portage though, as they have major WEP mucking that's being ironned out. |
Hi, when i use the ipw2100 module version 0.39 i dont get a link and linkquality. The Mac of my Accesspoint is correct and i automatically got it. With my Netgearcard there is no problem. eth1 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"net4you" Nickname:"ipw2100" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.427GHz Access Point: 00:C0:02:98:12:22 Bit Rate=11Mb/s Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry:on RTS thr=2304 B Fragment thr:2332 B Encryption key:off Link Quality:0/100 Signal level:-61 dBm Noise level:-98 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 I know this module is still buggy and under develope. I just will give a little feedback.
