It is recommended to use

yum install kernel-module-ipw2100-`uname -r` ipw2100

(or same cmd line with apt-get)

in order to make sure the right kernel module is pulled in, otherwise
yum may pull in a kernel module for another kernel version/flavour,
e.g. smp on non-smp systems or vice versa.

(same advice goes for any package involving kernel modules)

Thanks!
