Intel Wireless 2200bg Network Card under FC3 for x86_64

[Chris Morrison]

Hi all,

I cannot get my Intel Wireless 2200bg Network Connection to work under
Fedora Core for x86_64.

I have an AMD Athlon 64 3700 Laptop with an Intel Wireless 2200bg
Network Connection fitted. I have downloaded the kernel-2.6.10-1.741_FC3
update via yum.

When I boot up with the kernel for the first time, kudzu pops up,
informs me that it has just detected my Intel Wireless 2200bg Network
Connection, and ask me if I would like to configure it, which I do.

However, when the systems boots eth1, the wireless connection fails to
start with the message: 

ipw2200 device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying
initialization.

I have tried with an identical laptop with exactly the same result.

Has anyone been able to get the Intel Wireless 2200bg Network Connection
to work under Fedora Core for x86_64?

According to the Intel Website, the Linux driver for this connection is
still under development.


Regards,


Chris
