strings \
/lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2080_FC5/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.ko \
| grep version=

  The stock FC5 update kernel comes with 1.0.8.  The full set of 
installation instructions for the latest driver is at the top of 
http://www.ces.clemson.edu/linux/fc2-ipw2200.shtml (although I think you 
need the 3.0 firmware for the 1.1.2 driver).
