Chris, thanks you. I was using exaclty your setting and the wireless networking worked. It stopped when I upgraded to 770. The problem was a a failure to load the firmware. With the latest rmp, ipw2200-firmware-2.2-5.at the firmware seems to load OK. The problem now is the format of the modules: Mar 11 10:04:48 antoy modprobe: WARNING: Error inserting ieee80211 (/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.770_FC3/updates/drivers/net/wireless/ipw/ieee80211.ko): Invalid module format Mar 11 10:04:48 antoy modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting ipw2200 (/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.770_FC3/updates/drivers/net/wireless/ipw/ipw2200.ko): Invalid module format These are the rmps I installed ipw2200-kmdl-2.6.10-1.770_FC3-1.0.0-23.rhfc3.at ipw2200-1.0.0-23.rhfc3.at There are many kmdl's.
