Install "Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG (rev 05)" di kernel 2.6.15.1

Assalamu'alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh


Setelah berhasil compile kernel 2.6.15.1, seperti biasa ... wi-fi jadi tidak berfungsi lagi. Tapi agak ribet & susah kali ini. Sebelum install & upgrade driver ipw2200, harus re-configure, rebuild & install lagi kernel 2.6.15.1.

1. :/usr/src/linux-2.6.15.1# make clean

2. Copy file kernel sebelumnya (config-2.6.15.1) ke /usr/src/linux-2.6.15.1 :
:/boot# cp config-2.6.15.1Y /usr/src/linux-2.6.15.1/.config

3. :/usr/src/linux-2.6.15.1# make menuconfig

4. Load an Alternate Configuration File >> .config >> Ok

ENABLE (Y):

a. Device Drivers ->
Networking support ->
Network device support ->
Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) ->
Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & WE

b. Device Drivers ->
Generic Driver Options ->
Hotplug firmware loading support

c. Cryptographic options ->
ARC4 cipher algorithm

d. Library routines ->
CRC32 functions

e. Cryptographic options ->
Michael MIC keyed digest algorithm
AES cipher algorithms (i586)


NOT ENABLED/DISABLED (N):

a.Device Drivers ->
Network device support ->
Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) ->
Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) ->
Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG...

b. Networking ->
Networking support (NET [=y]) ->
Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack

5. Exit
Do you wish to save your new kernel configuration? Yes

6. :/usr/src/linux-2.6.15.1# make

7. :/usr/src/linux-2.6.15.1# make install

8. :/usr/src/linux-2.6.15.1# make modules_install

9. Update Grub (manual)
:/# vim /boot/grub/menu.lst

Tambahkan (misal):
title GNU/Linux Debian Sid, kernel 2.6.15.1
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 nomce psmouse.proto=imps quiet
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd.
savedefault
boot

10. Reboot with the new kernel.

11. :/usr/src# tar -xvvzf ieee80211-1.1.9.tgz

12. :/usr/src/ieee80211-1.1.9# . remove-old

13. :/usr/src/ieee80211-1.1.9# make

14. :/usr/src/ieee80211-1.1.9# make IEEE80211_INC=/usr/include

15. :/usr/src# tar -xvvzf ipw2200-1.0.10.tgz

16. :/usr/src/ipw2200-1.0.10# . remove-old

17. :/usr/src/ipw2200-1.0.10# make

18. :/usr/src/ipw2200-1.0.10# make install

19. :/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware# tar -xvvzf ipw2200-fw-2.4.tgz

20. :/usr/src/ipw2200-1.0.10# modprobe ipw2200

21. :/usr/src/ipw2200-1.0.10# . load

22. :/usr/src/ipw2200-1.0.10# iwconfig

23. Edit file interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

wireless-essid diisi essid hot spot atau access point
wireless-key s:diisi WEP key nya

24. Restart networking
:~# /etc/init.d/networking stop
:~# /etc/init.d/networking start

25. Terhubung ke Access Point.
