Hello All,

Can anyone tell me how to get my Intel Pro/Wireless card to work on 
FC5?  I checked the IPW2200 mailing list and they believe that I should 
have everything I need for this to work already installed on my machine 
yet I am not able to get this to work.

Version of IPW2200 = git-1.0.4
Version of Firmware = 2.4

At the current state of my machine here are the steps that I have done.
1. installed liva rpm source
2. ran yum update ipw2200-firmware (to try and update the firmware)
    result: Could not find update match for ipw2200-firmware, No Packages marked 
for Update/Obsoletion
3. ran dmesg
    result: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Drive , git-1.0.8
            Copyright(c) 2003-2005 Intel Corporation
4. Ran iwconfig
    Result: lo: No wireless extensions
            eth0: No wireless extensions
            sit0: No wireless extensions
5. Ran system-config-network
    Under devices tab
       1. Clicked new
       2. Selected "Wireless Connection"
    `  3. Click forward
          Result: "Other Wireless Card" is the only selection in the device list.
       4. Selected Ethernet Connection"
       5. Click forward
          Result: Intel Corporate PRO/Wireless 2915ABG MiniPCI Adapter(eth1), 
Broadcom Corporate BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (eth0) and Other Ethernet Card are 
listed in the device menu

Can anyone tell me what Im missing to be able to get this to work?
