ipw2200 on Dell M60



Hi,

I have just installed Debian Linux on a new Dell Precision M60 notebook with Intel IPW2200 wireless. I installed the ipw2200-source package from Debian, and followed the instructions for building the module and for installing the firmware, which all seemed to go okay.

However, it doesn't seem to be working. If I run iwconfig, I get:
charya:~# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

sit0      no wireless extensions.

Looking in /var/log/messages, I see:

Jan 17 12:24:40 charya kernel: ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 0.19 Jan 17 12:24:40 charya kernel: ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation Jan 17 12:24:40 charya kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:03.0[A] -> GSI 7 (level, low) -> IRQ 7 Jan 17 12:24:40 charya kernel: ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection Jan 17 12:24:40 charya kernel: ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:03.0 failed with error -16

I've no idea what error 16 is. And I don't see a wlan0 device there.

Also, the network I'm using requires WEP encryption.

Any ideas how I might debug this?

Thanks for any help.

Regards, Upayavira
