Summary : I see good signal strength in KWifiManager
but unable to browse intranet / internet.
I have a dell inspiron 700m. I downloaded the
firmware
and driver for my laptop and installed. I could see
the signal strength (noise/signal ratio) and all
other
networks when I access via KWifiManager.
The driver and firmware details are as follows :
ipw2200-1.0.0.tgz
ipw2200-fw-2.2.tgz
My wireless card (internal)details are as follows :
Network controller : Intel Corp. PRO/Wireless
But I am unable to browse my wireless network (even
though wifi manager says good strength)
When I try to do system-config-network I get the
following error / warning. What am I possibly doing
wrong ?
Warning: Device eth1 has been comiled with version
17
of wireless extension, while we are using version
16.
Some things may be broken...
I configured my wep key on the network configuration
manager by selecting the profile and editing it and
going into wireless settings (of wireless device
configuration)
Appreciate any help to resolve this issue.
I tried to update to 1.0.1 but still keep getting the
same warning
Warning: Device eth1 has been comiled with version

When i do the config.
I followed the direction provided in one suggestion
and tried setting it up as infra / adhoc. Both face
the same problem, I can see the network, signal
strength is excellent, but cannot see computers on
inter/intranet.
Any ideas will greatly help. I can give some
diagnostics if you tell what to run and provide.
regards,
