Thank for giving me some pointers. The card still did not work after installing the firmware RPM however after doing some more searching I found a page that suggested I change some serrtings in the BIOS. After changing the BIOS setting for the wireless card from "Application / Fn-F2" to just "Application" every thing fell into place. Thank you for all your help with this.

You need firmware however, which is not able to be distributed with Fedora Core. See: <a href="http://atrpms.net/dist/common/ipw2200-firmware/">http://atrpms.net/dist/common/ipw2200-firmware/</a> Install the top RPM, the 2.2-5 one. <a href="http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php?fid=4"> http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php?fid=4</a> OR, download the file here and place it in /lib/firmware Dan </blockquote></div>
