No working internet yet on my Thinkpad T60Forum: Networking Topic: No working internet yet on my Thinkpad T60 started by: blip Posted by blip on Dec. 15 2007,08:05
Hi everyone...long time no speakSorry to ask another boring wireless question! I've bought a Leveno Thinkpad T60 with dual core..good little machine... For the life of me I can't get on the net...either with wireless using ndiswrapper or with the wired ethernet connection ( I do have lights on the network port ). Is there a reason wired internet wouldn't work out the box with DSL 4.1? I have DSL to DHPC client....and rebooted e.t.c I tried setting up the wireless using ndiswrapper...pointed it to my 5211.inf but it's still saying Connection failed. The sid is correct and the encryption ( I've typed a wep key with : in between each hex pair). I will try taking off encryption but I don't think this is the issue...I downloaded the XP drivers from Leveno's site ( I have to assume I've got the correct ones ). Just to let you know my wireless is working under Vista.........( also to let you know I downloaded the XP drivers for wireless not the vista ones!) I just wondered what other things I could check/what tools I could use to try to solve this problem. Sorry I know wireless is the bain of all our lives in Linux lol! PS Im really getting into DSL 4.1...it will be exciting when firefox 2 is released with Flash 9..... Thanks for any advice Posted by Juanito on Dec. 15 2007,09:30
Can you give any more details on the wired and wireless hardware you have (output from lspci, lsusb, etc)?

Is it possible to run DSL 4.1 embedded to give you this info you needed above or does that not work? (if I could it would make life easier!) Thanks

Yes DSL embedded 4.1 does work on my laptop...I'll post it up the info now thanks.Just hit a snag...is it possible to cut n paste from DSL embedded into Windows Notepad? I can't save the output as a text file to my USB stick in Beaver as the USB stick isn't showing up in as a mount device..... Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on Dec. 15 2007,19:49
Using qemu will not help... it's a virtual machine emulator of sorts.Even though the best results would be from copy and pasting the output from those utilities, you could've just looked up which network chipset you have. Posted by blip on Dec. 21 2007,09:13
Hi everyoneSorry for the wait in getting back to you here... I did an LSPCI and LSMOD and this was my output......would this help in trying to track down my wireless issues with the Thinkpad? Incidentally I also have a Netgear USB wireless donlge but have unable to get this going either........anyway here's my output - thanks: dsl@box:/ramdisk/home/dsl$ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 03) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 02) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 02) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 3 (rev 02) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 4 (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02) 00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev e2) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 02) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) IDE Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) SATA AHCI Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 02) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) 15:00.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1510 PC card Cardbus Controller dsl@box:/ramdisk/home/dsl$ lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted nls_iso8859-1 2844 1 (autoclean) nls_cp437 4348 1 (autoclean) soundcore 3428 0 (autoclean) unionfs 67168 7 hw_random 2700 0 (unused) serial 52228 0 (autoclean) ieee1394 183300 0 mousedev 3832 1 hid 22788 0 (unused) input 3168 0 [mousedev hid] yenta_socket 9700 0 pcmcia_core 39840 0 [yenta_socket] thermal 6724 0 (unused) processor 9008 0 [thermal] fan 1600 0 (unused) button 2700 0 (unused) battery 5952 3 ac 1824 0 (unused) ide-cd 28768 0 rtc 7036 0 (autoclean) cloop 39204 2 usb-storage 61952 2 usb-uhci 21516 0 (unused) ehci-hcd 16456 0 (unused) usbcore 58016 1 [hid usb-storage usb-uhci ehci-hcd] ide-scsi 9040 1 dsl@box:/ramdisk/home/dsl$ Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on Dec. 21 2007,09:32
