Yes. There's a problem with redistribution rights.
Ok, but a note at 'Release Notes' about it should be nice but not
just `Support for wireless cards Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 and
2200 has been added.'.
Another thing, I think 'ipw2200' module should not be loaded if firmware
is not present...
I just put FC5 on an HP laptop with an IntelPRO 2200BG and can not get
it to work either. Does the firmware have to be obtained from Intel?
Is there a way to make the wireless network active?
Install ipw2200-firmware-3.0-1.lvn5 from rpm.livna.org.
