[Fixed]No network


Recommended Posts

* Installation of the ipw2200 module for the Wifi card :

o Install ipw2200-source package

o If necessary, compile it and install the associate binary package (from kernel 2.6.12 (?) up, the driver is included in the stock kernel image, no need of the following steps, then) :

# module-assistant prepare

# module-assistant a-i ipw2200

Note : since the time when I?ve succeeded doing that, the module has been updated in testing, and now, I get problems with it (compiled with GCC 4 whereas kernel was compiled with GCC 3, but all that can be overcome).

*

o Install the firmware : follow instructions in /usr/share/doc/ipw2200-modules-2.6.11-1-686/README.firmware

o Install of wireless-tools

* Install powernowd to handle the Centrino/Pentium M processor speed control :

o Add to /etc/modules :

speedstep_centrino

cpufreq_userspace

*

o Install powernowd

* Setup the order of the ethX interfaces :

o Installation of ifrename

o Configuration of /etc/iftab and /etc/network/interfaces for ifrename. On my setup : eth0 is not used, eth1 for the wired ethernet adapter, eth2 for the wifi one

o blacklist eth1394 in hotplug for it not to use eth0

Thanks for the heads up, every little problem means a possible solution!

I have a similar problem on my computer. The network card is "Intel? 82562V 10/100 Platform LAN Connect" and its not found in RC1 or RC2.

Rather than every individual doing CrimsonRedMk's method I request that shift increases the number of network card drivers it has/changes to a newer kernel in later releases (hopefully soon =]) as not having internet access in this day and age is a massive drawback for any computer.

(please note that i don't use "Dell Latitude D505" and my network card IS an ethernet card, not wifi.)

I appreciate the feedback. We will strive to add all of the drivers we can to support all sorts of ethernet or wi-fi cards. We know that half of computing fun is related to the internet.

    • I don't find them "bitchy" or "whiny". I think the term you should use it, uhm, "passionate."
    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
