Next: Intel 2100 wireless firmware (ipw2100-1.3.fw) for Lenny installation
From: Mark on 19 Jan 2010 14:10
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
