Update   
i have the driver installed...it is listed as one of my devices eth1  
shows intel 2200bg    when i go to activate it, says can't acquire an
ip  and to check the to see if the "Cable is unplugged"  umm hello
it's wireless !!!
so where do i go from here?  firmware is installed, as mentioned
before, where do i install the wireless tools? whats this about
turnning on the radio in my kernel?

the instructions  to build this driver read like sterio
instructions... they're all over the place so i don't know which end
is up.
link for instructions   http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/INSTALL

i'm close (I think) to getting this to work 
thanks
