Trying to set up wireless networking with CentOS 4.4 on a (new Dell) laptop and have looked at http://www.ces.clemson.edu/linux/fc2- ipw2200.shtml and http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php? topic_id=2532&forum=30 regarding use of ipw2200, which is included in the kernel. The problem is that it doesn't appear to be actually installed/loaded because the Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG driver doesn't appear in the drop- down list under Devices > New > Wireless Connection in system-config- network. Also /sbin/lsmod | grep ipw doesn't produce anything - so I'm pretty baffled! Any suggestions please?
i've the same ipw2200 in my laptop (running previously CentOS 4.x , now 5). All i did was using the RPMForge repo (see http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories) , install the ipw2200-firmware package (through yum install) , rmmod ipw2200 ; modprobe ipw2200 and this was done ...
