Hey, John --
Type *uname -r* it will tell you which kernel you are actually running, both the Linux version and the Redhat release.
i586 or i686 are kernel versions. if you are running the i386 kernel, _EVEN IF YOU HAVE AN i686 CPU_, you must use the i386 RPMs.

I am trying to install the ipw2100 wireless on my Insprion 8600 notebook.
I originally installed FC2 2.6.5-1.358, and have since then upgraded to 2.6.6.1-435.2.3 using up2date. When I run the make file (builds external) I get an error saying that ieee802_11.h is not found. The file exists under the /usr/src directory for the original kernel. My guess is that I need to download the source for the kernel I updated to. I have found the packages for both kernel-source and the modules, but they are listed as i586 and i686 (there are 64-bit as well, but I don’t have that system type). Can anyone tell me which of these I should get? I am somewhat new at this, so any input is appreciated.
Regards,
John

If you're installing on the 2.6.6.1-435.2.3 you need the following rpms:
ipw2100-firmware-1.1-2.at.noarch.rpm atrpms (trying yumming for this one) kernel-module-hostap-2.6.6-1.435.2.3-0.1.3-4.rhfc2.at.i686.rpm hostap-driver-0.1.3-4.rhfc2.at.i386.rpm kernel-module-ipw2100-2.6.6-1.435.2.3-0.47-8.rhfc2.at.i686.rpm ipw2100-0.47-8.rhfc2.at.i386.rpm
and in that order. :)
You can get those from www.atrpms.net... http://www.atrpms.net/dist/fc2/ipw2100/
I have an Inspiron 600M with the IPW2100... and that's what I had to do to get it all running on the 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 FC2 install. :)
