You can try to install the firmware files manually. Go to http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php . The right version for FC4 should be 'Versions v0.19-v1.0.3: v0.19-1.0.3 firmware'. Download it and do the following as root: mv ipw2200-fw-2.2.tgz /lib/firmware cd /lib/firmware tar -xzvf ipw2200-fw-2.2.tgz You could also try the 'Versions v1.0.4 and newer: v1.0.4-current firmware'. After rebooting wireless should work. Michael
