Ipw2200 problem in Fedora 8

[Miguel Ángel Pérez]

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]
