My Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG required the latest firmware drivers to be

Just follow the instructions, reboot and it will be working...
Note: You may not see the wireless indicator lit, but as soon as you
connect through Network Manager, it will light-up...
Note that the initscripts update referred to on that page is still in
updates-testing, not yet in updates. Hopefully that will change soon.
Is it safe to update the firmware package to ipw2200-firmware 3.0-2 even if
not yet using the latest kernel? Or should both be updated at the same time?
Here:
ipw2200-firmware-3.0-1.lvn5
kernel-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 (customized)
You already have the latest firmware. ipw2200-firmware-3.0-1.lvn5
includes both firmware versions 2.4 and 3.0, which are all that are needed
for FC5. The latest (still updates-testing) initscripts update is
appropriate (indeed necessary) for kernels since 2.6.16 was first released
for FC5.
