[driverloader] problem with Dell/BCM TrueMobile 1450

[Norris Dan - IL]

I have a relatively new Dell Latitude D600 with the TrueMobile 1450 PCI
wireless card.  It worked fine under Windows, so I know that the hardware
isn't faulty, but now that I'm running Linux, I can't make it hook up. 

 

Has anyone gotten this card to work with the driverloader?  

 

Here's what I know (or think I know):

--driverloader 1.72 loaded okay into my RHEL ES 3.0 2.4.21-15.EL kernel

--device drivers loaded and the driverloader config page appears to be happy

[root at dnorris-lap dann]# dldrconfig --info

Linuxant DriverLoader for Wireless LAN devices, version 1.72

 

Web configurator: listening on 127.0.0.1:18020

 

Current parameters: ("dldrconfig --info")

 

Wireless interface name: eth1

        MAC address    : 00:90:96:A6:15:64

        Device instance: PCI-0000:02:03.0-14e4:4324-1028:0003

        Device driver  : bcm43xxa

[root at dnorris-lap dann]# iwlist eth1 scan

eth1      Failed to read scan data : No data available

 

[root at dnorris-lap dann]# iwconfig eth1

          Mode:Managed  Bit Rate=54Mb/s   Tx-Power=25 dBm

          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off

          Encryption key:off

          Power Management:off

          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0

          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0

          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

 

I did monkey around once with the settings, but it was several weeks ago and
I'm afraid I may have left something partially configured.  Is there a good
way to set everything back to the defaults.  Particularly, I'm thinking I
had tried to set up the WEP encryption or something along those lines, but I
can't find the config files I modified any more (forgot where they are).

 

Any pointers would be appreciated.  I tried to follow the documentation and
the FAQ, but those steps didn't seem to make any difference for me.

 

Thanks,

Dan
