http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, I have an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG card which ubuntu fully supports. The problem is it doenst play nice with my older Netgear router when attempting to run at 802.11g. It also has this problem in windows, but works fine when you configure it for B only. I believe what I need to do is this command: sudo iwconfig eth1 modu 11b but what that yields is: Error for wireless request "Set Modulation (8B2F) : SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported Does anyone know if this card can be configured to run as 802.11b only? Thanks, Vit (Hardware)

Hi,

I just install Ubuntu 10.04 on a new laptop. there was no driver for the wireless interface. I then install the proprietary driver. the wireless adapter name is now eth1. My problem is that networkmanager0.7 does not realize that a wireless adapter was configured. and I cannot find where to configure eth1 as its wireless adapter.

I'm having a strange problem with my netbook (Dell Mini 9 with Fedora 11). I can connect to my wireless access point, but once I disconnect (restart netbook, etc), my netbook finds the access point, yet the passphrase doesn't get authenticated. It just tries and tries, with no connection. I can see all of the wireless networks in the area, so I know that the wireless card is working.

Hello everyone! I was trying to set wireless rate on my sony vaio fz21m to 60 megabit (card supports 144 mbit in windows vista) but the command failed.

sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 60m

This is the output of command: Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.

I'm trying to make work my wireless network card Intel 2200BG in my laptop Acer Travelmate 4002WLMI.

I tried so far:

$ sudo lshw -C network *-network:1 description: Wireless interface product: PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 4 bus info: pci@0000:02:04.0 logical name: eth1 version: 05

After much research, I have found the solution to my intermittent wireless problem!

i have a dedicated server, with "Virtuozzo" on it running VPS's.

I have: eth0 - which is configured to the internal network, that one is fine.

Now I have: eth1 - which has two ranges routed through this device.

x.x.134.x (which has 12 IP's sequentially) x.x.132.x (which has 5)

eth1:

DEVICE="eth1" HWADDR="00:25:90:37:65:67" NM_CONTROLLED="yes" ONBOOT="yes" IPADDR="x.x.134.x" NETMASK="255.255.

Hi All,

I cannot connect my Sony Viao laptop to wireless. It just will not seem to connect. I am a bit of a n00b i am afraid so go easy on me ;) I have been through /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200 does exist.
