Re: Wireless networking in CentOS 4.4



Is there any reason that you need to use Cent OS 4.4 for this? Cent OS 5
would surely have better support for newer hardware such as you are running.
Fedora or Ubuntu would probably work even better on your laptop.

Trying to set up wireless networking with CentOS 4.4 on a (new Dell)

ipw2200.shtml
and http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?
topic_id=2532&forum=30
regarding use of ipw2200, which is included in the kernel. The problem
is that it doesn't appear to be actually installed/loaded because the
Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG driver doesn't appear in the drop-
down list under Devices > New > Wireless Connection in system-config-
network.
Also /sbin/lsmod | grep ipw doesn't produce anything - so I'm pretty
baffled!
Any suggestions please?
