Has anyone else had any problems with getting wifi to work after upgrade ?
I am using ipw2200 on an HP laptop - was working under 4.3

It's continued working in my inspiron laptop just fine. You may want to check and make sure that you still have the firmware in place. Depending on how you installed the firmware, it could have been removed.

The latest kernel requires you have the Intel ipw 2.4 firmware installed in '/lib/firmware/'. Have you done this?

I has version 3 rather than 2.4 - thats sorted it - thanks

On a Dell latitude D810 with an ipw2200, yep problems with the new 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL kernel and the new 2.6.9-42.0.2.plus.c4 centosplus kernel and the new 2.4 ipw firmware installed.
An old 2.6.9-34.107.plus centosplus kernel works fine but this uses the earlier 2.2 ipw firmware.
I'm using the centosplus kernels to get firewire working but that's another matter ;-) .

I've installed the new 2.4 firmware. Left the old stuff there, for the old kernel, maybe that's the problem. Anyway when I boot with the new kernels the network takes a long time, 10's of seconds, to start. Then it generally works for a time, 5 to 10 minutes, then stops dead!!!
Using "dmesg | grep ipw" the wireless card is detected Ok but then there is an error
Unknown notification: subtype=40,flags=0xa0,size=40
Any ideas.
I'm going to have a look at this when I get home tonight.

I do not get the error message you get via dmesg on my Sony laptop.
With regard wireless with the latest kernel over and above no signal level stats due to the bump to WE 18. I have the same connection and drop out issues. For me the connection is fine for anything web related that is not passing constant data, but if I vnc to another machine on my wireless connection, it will die after about 10 mins and require me to close and restart vnc.

Strange but that's more or less what happens to me. If I'm doing browsing then all seems OK. But if I do anything that requires a lot of throughput then the connection dies after 5 to 10 minutes. Last night for instance I booted the laptop and just ran a ping to a remote machine. Sure enough after 1983 pings the connection died!!
Funny thing is a reboot, several in fact would not bring the network back up. I had to reboot with the old 2.6.9-34.107.plus kernel to get the network back then when I rebooted with the new 2.6.9-42.0.2.plus.c4 the network was back, well for 10 minutes anyway.

I probably should have realized that 'ipw' ment Intel, and I know they favor the Broadcom chipset (hey, I attend IEEE 802 meetings and I know who talks to who at the evening bar meetings :) ).
Are any of you using WPA Supplicant? Are you getting it from someplace other than http://dl.atrpms.net/sl4-i386/atrpms/ ?

I stopped using the ipw2200 driver that comes with the kernel a long time ago. These days, I use the stock one, directly from the developers. ipw2200.sf.net, if I recall. So I really had no problems with this one.

Is this a Atheros card (I have an HP NC4010 with the Atheros card). You need to grap new MadWiFi files. Plus they finally have the WPA_GUI available for us.
http://dl.atrpms.net/sl4-i386/atrpms/
You will find the Madwifi rpms (there are 3 of them) in the RPMS.stable directory. The WPA supplicant rpms are in the RPMS.testing directory.
There seemes to be on change of moving the wpa_supplicant.conf file from /etc to /etc/wpa_supplicant
