So, I add some ideas for the clean and fast instalation of ipw2200 / ipw2100 in Fedora! #IPW fast-do #First login as root su - (put the root password on prompt) #Make clean space: mkdir -p /tmp/ipw cd /tmp/ipw #Get the files sources in /tmp/ipw # <a href="http://ieee80211.sourceforge.net/downloads.php">http://ieee80211.sourceforge.net/downloads.php </a> <<a href="http://ieee80211.sourceforge.net/downloads.php">http://ieee80211.sourceforge.net/downloads.php</a>> wget -c <a href="http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ieee80211/ieee80211-1.1.6.tgz"> http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ieee80211/ieee80211-1.1.6.tgz</a> # <a href="http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/downloads.php">http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/downloads.php</a> <<a href="http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/downloads.php"> http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/downloads.php</a>> wget -c <a href="http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ipw2200/ipw2200-1.0.8.tgz">http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ipw2200/ipw2200-1.0.8.tgz </a> # <a href="http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php">http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php</a> <<a href="http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php">http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php</a>> grab the 2.4 firmware #Expand the file in /tmp/ipw tar xvfz ipw2200-1.0.8.tgz tar xvfz ieee80211-1.1.6.tgz tar xvfz /home/justin/downloads/ipw2200/ipw2200-fw-2.4.tgz /lib/firmware #Clean the old staff (files from the fedora kernel modules) rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw* rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/net/ieee80211 #Make the binary in /tmp/ipw cd ieee80211-1.1.6 make # On question reponse "y" to all Above files found.

You will want to keep the sources around, you know what I mean.
