Hello All,

Can anyone tell me how to get my Intel Pro/Wireless card to work on
FC5? I checked the IPW2200 mailing list and they believe that I should
have everything I need for this to work already installed on my machine
yet I am not able to get this to work.

Version of IPW2200 = git-1.0.4
Version of Firmware = 2.4

At the current state of my machine here are the steps that I have done.
1. installed liva rpm source
2. ran yum update ipw2200-firmware (to try and update the firmware)
result: Could not find update match for ipw2200-firmware, No Packages
marked
for Update/Obsoletion
3. ran dmesg
result: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Drive , git-1.0.8
Copyright(c) 2003-2005 Intel Corporation
4. Ran iwconfig
Result: lo: No wireless extensions
eth0: No wireless extensions
sit0: No wireless extensions
5. Ran system-config-network
Under devices tab
1. Clicked new
2. Selected "Wireless Connection"
` 3. Click forward
Result: "Other Wireless Card" is the only selection in the device list.
4. Selected Ethernet Connection"
5. Click forward
Result: Intel Corporate PRO/Wireless 2915ABG MiniPCI Adapter(eth1),
Broadcom Corporate BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (eth0) and Other Ethernet Card are
listed in the device menu

Can anyone tell me what Im missing to be able to get this to work?

According to ipw2200.sourceforge.net this issue can be caused by a timeout
so I set my firmware time out to 100 as the specified and this problem still
exists. They state the only other reason for this is that the firmware can
be in the wrong location. If its not supposed to be in /lib/firmware and
the directory /usr/lib/hotplug/* is non existent, what other place can I put
these?



I looked into my /lib/firmware dir and here is what i got
ipw2200-bss.fw
ipw-2.4-boot.fw
ipw-2.4-ibss_ucode.fw
ipw2200-ibss.fw
ipw-2.4-bss.fw
ipw-2.4-sniffer.fw
ipw2200-LICENSE.txt
ipw-2.4-bss_ucode.fw
pw-2.4-sniffer_ucode.fw
ipw2200-sniffer.fw
ipw-2.4-ibss.fw
