New to Fedora, struggling with wireless

[Cecilia Lunardini]

Hi,

thanks.. "dmesg | grep ipw2200" has no effect.. Here
is what I did:

[root at localhost ~]# dmesg | grep ipw2200
[root at localhost ~]# dmesg | grep ipw2100
[root at localhost ~]# 
[root at localhost ~]# 

So, I guess the wireless card is not even detected.  I
am sure the wireless card works, because I have dual
boot WindowsXP/Fedora6, and in Windows the wireless
works.

Any suggestion?

Thanks again, 

Cecilia
