Just another wlan ipw2200 problem again.

I use FC3 and have an Acer Travelmate 4000 with centrino.
To use the wlan i downloaded all needed files and followed every step 
(by step) in the INSTALL file.

First, i have to load the driver manually with ./load witch outputs this 
error ....
( if i dont  load them, eth1 is not displayed )

[root at xr-mobile ipw2200-0.13]# ./load
No modules unloaded.
FATAL: Module firmware_class not found.
Loaded: ieee80211_crypt ieee80211 ieee80211_crypt_wep ipw2200

I´m a linux beginner, so i was very happy that the wireless tools are 
already available via yum - dont even think about kernel configuration ;-)

Any ideas ?
Hope i dont spam around with this problem.
