I don't have an AMD64 sy= stem to check I'm afraid. Hi all again, I recompiled my kernel and now, the IPW2200BG card seems to be detected. This is the output of the ifconfig re0 command: iwi0: flags=3D8802 metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:0e:35:fd:aa:0f media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier ssid ApeWireless channel 1 (2412 Mhz 11b) authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:104-bit bmiss 10 scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi11b 7 roam:rate11b 1 bintval 0 However, neither I can connect to my wireless router, nor I can scan the frequency. My wireless AP, has a hidden SSID, wep key and DHCP. Scanning of frequencies shows no results (but there are many wireless networks around). Any ideas?
