The key to getting it set up initially was to get the firmware RPM from
Livna, then delete all network devices in system-config-network, then
reboot. Then you can recreate the wireless interface as wireless. (If
you run the 1.1.2 driver, you need firmware version 3.0. I have an RPM
that contains it that I can send on request.)
Help me out with a bit of brainlock here: how do I determine the driver
version? And where is the source for ipw2200?
strings \
/lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2080_FC5/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.ko \
| grep version=
The stock FC5 update kernel comes with 1.0.8. The full set of
installation instructions for the latest driver is at the top of
http://www.ces.clemson.edu/linux/fc2-ipw2200.shtml (although I think you
need the 3.0 firmware for the 1.1.2 driver).
