Intel PRO/Wireless 2100, 2200 and 2915 devices
This page describes how to enable support for WiFi devices based on Intel 2100, 2200 and 2915 chipsets on Debian systems.
Contents
Drivers
ipw2100 (supported devices)
- Supports the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 802.11b chipset.
- Introduced in Linux 2.6.14.
ipw2200 (supported devices)
- Supports Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 802.11bg and 2915 802.11a/bg chipsets.
- Introduced in Linux 2.6.15.
Non-free firmware is required for both drivers, which can be provided by installing the firmware-ipw2x00 package.
Installation via Debian Installer
Both drivers are included for use by the Debian installation program (Debian Installer) and are also within the installed kernel image.
Debian Installer may prompt for the required firmware (ipw2100-1.3.fw or ipw2200-bss.fw). You will have to download, extract and provide the firmware, as explained in section 6.4 of the Installation Guide.
This is also available in the nonfree-firmware tarball which is built regularly on cdimage.debian.org. Supply this blob on a CD/floppy/USB drive etc. and Debian Installer will do the right thing. -- SteveMcIntyre
Installation on Established Systems
The ipw2100 and ipw2200 drivers are included in the Linux kernel since version 2.6.14 and 2.6.15 respectively. They are included as modules in Debian kernel images.
Firmware is required for device operation.
Add a "non-free" component to /etc/apt/sources.list for your Debian version, for example:
# Debian 8 "Jessie" deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
Update the list of available packages and install the firmware-ipw2x00 and wireless-tools packages:
# apt-get update # apt-get install firmware-ipw2x00 wireless-tools
You are required to accept the license agreement before the firmware is installed to your system.As the driver may already be loaded, reinsert the relevant driver module to access installed firmware:
# modprobe -r ipw2100 ; modprobe ipw2100
or
# modprobe -r ipw2200 ; modprobe ipw2200
Configure your wireless interface as appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Examine the kernel ring buffer (dmesg(1)) to verify required firmware files are being loaded by the driver. If requested firmware is not available, no wireless interface will be created.
Ensure the firmware-ipw2x00 package is installed, then reinsert the relevant driver module as described above.
ipw2200: If you receive a "Failed to send TX_POWER: Command timed out." message, add irqpoll to your kernel command line.
- LED control (ipw2200): If the LED does not switch on automatically:
echo options ipw2200 led=1 >> /etc/modprobe.d/ipw2200.conf && modprobe -r ipw2200 ; modprobe ipw2200
Supported Devices
