Hello,
I am trying to install the firmware for an Intel ipw2100 wifi card on
a Dell Latitude D800 laptop (the driver is supported in the Lenny
kernel, just not the firmware). According to this page
http://wiki.debian.org/ipw2200 (note bold text by Steve McIntyre) the
Debian installer should be able to read the tarball file during the
installation; I tried last night but the installer needs the .fw file
not the tar.gz file. Every link I've tried, including this one
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/firmware-ipw2x00 is either a tar.gz
or .deb file. I can't seem to find a download for .fw...any ideas or
help out there? I suppose I can install the firmware after getting
Lenny installed by adding "contrib non-free" to /apt/sources.list, but
since the installer prompts for "ipw2100-1.3.fw" file during
installation, I'd like to get it installed at that time.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Mark
do you have try to unpack the tar ball? you download?
if you don't have any machine whit Linux you can use 7zip on windows
for unpack the package *.tar.gz if not finish the Lenny installation
giust "apt-get install firmware-ipw2x00" and load the appropiate modules.
good by
