Dear Barry:
This happens to me all the time if there is a little glitch in the
configuration. Example. your WEP key is incorrect.
When you scan the environment for networks, do you find them
$ /sbin/iwlist scan
Does it find the wireless routers?
If it does, that means we have to work on the configuration of your
network. The FC5 system-config-network program is usually OK, but not
always. If you control the router, turn off encryption to simplify
the testing.
Why not do some diagnostics and report back. First, is the card's
kernel module being enabled. If you do
$ /sbin/lsmod
do you see the ipw2200 module listed?
Look in /var/log/messages and scan for the lines about the 2200
module. Any info?
If system-config-network doesn't get it right, sometimes I find the
program wifi-radar does.
good luck
pj
