Wireless Card Trouble ipw220

[Paul Ward]

Thanks Jonathan,
That made perfect sense. I think I used the ipw2200 as I read an article
about another ipw driver install on a compaq.

I have removed the ipw2200 firmware and installed the ipw2100 firmware.
cat /var/log/dmesg |grep ipw
ipw2100: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver, git-1.2.2
ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
ipw2100: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection

I am now getting closer however I can not bring up the wireless interface,
everytime I use ifup eth1 I get FAILED
I am using KDE at present and have tried the control panel wireless added my
sid but it is not doing anything.
Does anyone know where I go from here?
