I did this, wrote it up and thought I would share if anyone can't get wireless going with ipw2200.

Just like rawhide, my instructions can flush your pc down the drain so if it breaks you can only blame your self since you hit <enter>.....


mkdir -p ~/downloads/ipw2200

cd ~/downloads/ipw2200

http://ieee80211.sourceforge.net/downloads.php

wget -c http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ieee80211/ieee80211-1.1.6.tgz


http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/downloads.php

wget -c http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ipw2200/ipw2200-1.0.8.tgz


http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php

grab the 2.4 firmware and drop it in your dir


su -

cd /lib/firmware/

tar xvf /home/justin/downloads/ipw2200/ipw2200-fw-2.4.tgz

exit



tar xvzf ieee80211-1.1.6.tgz

Not sure what the Unknow's are, but I'm typing right now, so I assume my network is running ;)

setup your wireless how ever you normally do it.
