Fedora 5 - Intel Pro/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI adapter woes.


I've just installed Red Hat Fedora Core 5 onto my laptop and all seems
to be OK apart from the WiFi card being recognised / functioning
correctly.

If I go into applications > System Tools > network tools, my on-board
wired Ethernet device is there under devices listed as eth0. It has
been assigned an IP address from via the DHCP server on my Router and
appears to be functioning correctly.

The only other interface listed therein is the Loopback interface lo

If, however, I go into System > Administration and Network to pull up
the Network Configuration window (forgive me if I don't know the
correct terminology for these applications but I'm new to all this)
there is an entry for the Wired eth0 interface listed under devices
with a tick in the profile column and 'active' in the status column.
There is no wireless device listed here. If I then click on the
hardware tab I can see that my WiFi card is also there listed as an
Intel Corporation Pro/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI adapter which
indeed it is.

Now, since starting this post I've come across KwiFiManager and have
started it up and, although it admittedly does have a 'disabled' image
across it, I duly clicked the 'Scan for Networks' button just to see
what happens. This brings up a box entitled 'Scanning not possible -
KwiFIManager' wherein it states:

unable to perform the scan. Please make sure the executable
"iwlist" is in your $PATH.

Can someone please enlighten me as how I'd do this.

I also get another box with the title:

Sorry - KDE control module'

which says : unable to autodetect wireless interface.

If anyone could tell me what's gone wrong here I'd be most obliged.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kush.
