#7938 closed bug (fixed)
[ipw2100] no wireless networks listed
Reported by: | taos | Owned by: | mmlr |

Description
Even after installing the firmware for ipw2100 (by simply extracting /boot/system/data/firmware/ipw2100/ipw2100-fw-1.3.tgz and rebooting because of #7898), my Acer TravelMate 800LCi can't see any wireless networks - in contrast to my netbook with atheroswifi and another laptop with iprowifi2200.
Another user on haiku-os.org (enzo) reports a similar problem in a forum post.

Don't bother investigating this. The native driver has the mentioned issues, but even if it didn't it doesn't use the FreeBSD compatibility layer. Since the current userland wireless interface uses the FreeBSD ioctls to communicate with the drivers, this would have to be "ported" into the native driver to make it work. Since there is also a, presumably better tested, FreeBSD driver for this device already, the native one can simply be dumped. I'll do that as soon as I get around to it.

jam iprowifi2100 compiles ok in both gcc2 and gcc4, so it seems that the only thing left is to replace ipw2100 with iprowifi2100 in HaikuImage.

Using hrev44055-dirty (gcc2hybrid compiled with iprowifi instead of ipw2100).
Even after copying ipw2100 firmware from a "clean" installation there is no /dev/net/iprowifi2100 for my Acer Travelmate 800. Attached are syslogs and outputs of listdev, listimage, and ifconfig with and without ipw2100 firmware installed.

[iprowifi2100] (ipw) could not load firmware image 'ipw_bss'
looks suspicious.
