After running "dmesg |grep 2200" I got the following output: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dmesg |grep 2200 ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.1.2kmq ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection ipw2200: ipw2200-bss.fw request_firmware failed: Reason -2 ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2 ipw2200: failed to register network device ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:0b.0 failed with error -5 so, the problem seems to be with the "firmware". I will go after it and try again... regards Marcelo -- Marcelo Chiapparini [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
