You may be able to use Linuxant's driver. I had a no name wireless PCI
card, and their wrapper worked for mine.
You can try it out for 30 days for free before buying it. Cost is about
twenty bucks for the permanent license.
Only thing is, each time you upgrade your kernel, you have to get an
updated driver. It was a lot of hassle, so I just went back to a
regular lan card..

Hi all,
I cannot get my Intel Wireless 2200bg Network Connection to work under
Fedora Core for x86_64.
I have an AMD Athlon 64 3700 Laptop with an Intel Wireless 2200bg
Network Connection fitted. I have downloaded the kernel-2.6.10-1.741_FC3
update via yum.
When I boot up with the kernel for the first time, kudzu pops up,
informs me that it has just detected my Intel Wireless 2200bg Network
Connection, and ask me if I would like to configure it, which I do.
However, when the systems boots eth1, the wireless connection fails to
start with the message:
ipw2200 device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying
initialization.
I have tried with an identical laptop with exactly the same result.
Has anyone been able to get the Intel Wireless 2200bg Network Connection
to work under Fedora Core for x86_64?
According to the Intel Website, the Linux driver for this connection is
still under development.
Regards,
Chris
Yes I did, Have youdownloaded and installed the firware rpms from
http://ayo.freshrpms.net should have this as a entry in your apt yum or
up2date sources list. Search the repo for ipw2200 firmware then your
card will work.
Cheers
Chadley
I downloaded the firmware from freshrpms.net, it installed without a
hitch, but my network connection is still not being recognised as
present when the laptop boots.
What have I missed?
Chris
After installing the firmware you should reboot, then kudzu will detect
and configure the card for you.
Well you could also just rerun kudzu, but personally I would prefer a
reboot.
