Hi,

I try to make Wi-Fi work.
I have ASUS S200N with Intel PRO/Wireless:

ipw0 at pci1 dev 5 function 0: Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini-PCI Adapter (rev. 0x04)
ipw0: interrupting at irq 7
ipw0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps

when I try ifconfig I get:

# ifconfig ipw0 inet 192.168.0.22 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid=gado_wifi
ifconfig: SIOCAIFADDR: Input/output error

What does it mean?  The card cannot find infrastructure or
something more serious?
