Has anyone managed to get the IPW2200BG driver from ATRPMS to
work with wpa_supplicant? Also should we even be trying to load
a different kernel module for ipw2200 since it is already
in the 1.1398 kernel? I notice that the kernel installs...
/lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1398_FC4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200/ipw2200.ko
while the ipw2200-kmdl-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4-1.0.0-24.rhfc4.at installs...
/lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1398_FC4/updates/drivers/net/wireless/ipw/ipw2200.ko
I am assuming the atrpm one is loaded since the ieee80211 modules have
been loaded as well. However I don't see an ieee80211_crypt_wpa but
only an ieee80211_crypt_wep. Does this imply that the atrpm driver is too
old itself and I need a newer one? It reports itself as 1.0.0 and I notice
the ipw2200 driver site speaks of a 1.0.6 driver as being the current
release. Lastly would it be better to try to disable the ipw2200 driver
from loading (not sure how to do that either) and install ndiswrapper
and the windows ipw2200 drivers instead.

ps I assumed I needed to install the ipw2200 firmware rpm as well. It
is beyond me why there isn't an install dependency on that rpm in the
ipw2200-kmdl rpm. Wireless on Linux certainly is pure hell at the moment.
