2200BG wireless card in PCLinuxOS TR4, can't get to work for more than 10 seconds!

**Joefireline** · 05-01-2007, 03:07 PM

Ok, I posted this on the PCLinuxOS forum, but I noone replied

I'm not sure if I'll get a great load of replies here etheir though, I know not many people use it here, but if anyone can help, please do!
Anyway, I can't seem to configure my wireless card, Intel 2200BG, to work for more than 10 seconds... I can load one page, then it will disconnect me, then to get connected again I have to restart.
The funny thing is, it was working flawlessly on the Live CD, just not the installation.
I tried using that Windows driver thing, with ndiswrapper , but every time I tried using it, it tried locating the driver, and froze, couldn't do anything, even the mouse curser wasn't working, so I had to press the power button.
Anyone have any ideas on getting this working?
Thanks.

That guy had the exact same problem just about, and solved it.

Well, that is about the Open or resticted, I had a look at that thread before, and I am using Open. Though, I don't think I tested restricted, so I'll take a look.
Thanks.

Hey K-B, I kinda gave up, it was so annoying me! So I stole my brothers Linksys PCMCIA wireless adapter, and used the windows drivers for it, and it works flawlessly.
