This may not be the best place to ask, but Google hasn't given me any useful information.
I have an "older" laptop that is using the Intel 2200 wireless interface. I installed CentOS 5 on it some time ago and everything is fine. When I was reviewing my kickstart setups I found that the ipw2200 firmware package is no longer available in RPMForge. The CentOS site's how-to page for this interface still refers to RPMForge, so that now seems out of date.
What happened to the Intel firmware packages on RPMForge and where else should I be looking for them ? I tried ELRepo and didn't see them there.
They are not currently in elrepo because no one has ever requested them, they were in rpmforge, and they are now old/legacy and unmaintained. I didn't realise they were no longer available from rpmforge.
File an RFE and I'll get them added for you.
Suggestions and pointers are welcome, and thanks in advance.
I'm not sure why they're not showing up on rpmforge as the package is still showing in their git tree:

Maybe you should ask / file an issue with repoforge.
I don't see a way to file an issue on the repoforge Web site. I just filed an RFE with ELRepo to ask for this.
Thanks for the advice.
