You need the firmware for you card. You can add atrpm repo to your yum configuration or grab it directly from the web[1]
Take care when adding atrpms to your list of repos, it may conflict with livna if you already has it.

You can also go to the ipw2200 project's page, grab the firmware and unpack it to /lib/firmware [2]

Hi all,

I use Fedora 8 under my laptop Thinkpad x40, kernel vesion: 2.6.24.4-64.fc8. But I have a problem with the wireless card when I run Fedora 8, actually the wireless card can work well under WinXP. When I boot my laptop under Fedora 8, it always show me in the log file:

ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.2.2kmprq
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:02.0[A] -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 22
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
ipw2200: ipw2200-bss.fw request_firmware failed: Reason -2
ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2
ipw2200: failed to register network device
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:02.0 disabled
ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:02.0 failed with error -5

Does any idea to fix such problem? Thanks.


Eason
