Fish Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 OK, so I only had time for a quick mess, but first thing I noticed was that I didn't have any network access at all. The only device listed in Network Tools was Loopback. Dell Latitude D505. Shift 0.5 RC1 Gnome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonRedMk Member Posted August 25, 2007 Member Share Posted August 25, 2007 * 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 http://www-public.int-evry.fr/~berger_o/we...lllatituded505/ Thanks for the heads up, every little problem means a possible solution!

shhac Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
