Short description of my problem:
I am not able to make wireless network working on the IBM ThinkPad T43p.
System: T43p
OS: CentOS 4.4
kernel: 2.6.9-34.EL
firmware: ipw2200-firmware-3.0-3.nodist.rf.noarch.rpm
Can some merciful soul give me a hint or/and solution or/and RTFM
pointer for my problem ?
I've solved the problem by installing Ubuntu 7.10 on the Laptop. Wireless
worked 'out of the box'.
I have a Thinkpad T43 and am using these:
ipw2200-firmware-3.0-3.nodist.rf
kernel-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5
NetworkManager-0.6.4-6.el5
Then make sure NetworkManager is running by doing:
chkconfig NetworkManager on
service NetworkManager start
as root.
Remember that CentOS is both a Server as a Desktop OS and therefor not all
services you expect to run are enabled for a Desktop. (like NetworkManager)
If you are running CentOS as a Desktop, you are often much better off
using the most recent CentOS release (like CentOS 5.1).
