Hello Pedro,

thank you for your advice.
everything didnt help. i use already use/d linux 2.6.7. got latest patch for
ACPI routing. 

i have a dell inspiron 510m.


[root@localhost root]# lspci |grep -i "PRO/Wireless LAN 2100"
01:03.0 Network controller: Intel Corp. PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI
Adapter (rev 04)

the ethernet interface is working ok, as you can see in the output of dmesg:

bound device '0000:01:01.1' to driver 'ohci1394'
ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
ieee80211: loading with WEP enabled.
ipw2100: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver, 0.51
ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation
bus pci: add driver ipw2100
ipw2100: Error allocating IRQ 7.
ipw2100: probe of 0000:01:03.0 failed with error -16
e100: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Driver, 3.0.18
e100: Copyright(c) 1999-2004 Intel Corporation
bus pci: add driver e100
divert: allocating divert_blk for eth0

as next i will try to upgrade my BIOS. i wonder how that works under linux. i'll
see.

maybe you have some other input or wishes what logs you want to see.
kind regards,

ud
