You also need to make sure you have the firmware loaded on your system. I believe there is an RPM available or you can go to the sourceforge site and get the firmware from there as well as the latest driver. I finally gave up trying to get the 2200BG working on a Toshiba Tecra M2. Went out and bought a Netgear WG511 version 2 adapter. Loaded driverloader and selected the drivers from the CD. Was up and running in just a few minutes. This after wasting many many hours trying to get the 2200BG to work reliably. I did get the 2200BG to work for awhile using Networkmanager, however that did not seem run consistently and it finally just stopped working entirely. I never did like the fact that I could not get the wireless working on the 2200BG through the normal network options. The WG511 version 2 is running using the normal network options without Networkmanager. At some point I may try Networkmanager again but for now it ain't broke.... Now I just need to allocate time to find out if it was an Xorg package update that messed up the font display on that laptop.... -- Scot L.
