I am going to be setting up an Intel 2200bg card this evening. I was wondering if anyone is using this (successfully) with CentOS 4. The directions look straightforward, but please let me know if you had to do anything interesting/undocumented to make it work. I am also wondering if people are using the driver provided with the current CentOS 4 kernel or if people are using the most recent version, and if so are you using the one from ipw2200.sourceforge.net or from intel.com
Thanks, Barry
You might need to install this firmware first before loading the ipw2200 module: ipw2200-firmware-2.2-5.at.noarch.rpm

The module for making the card work is already in centos, you should simply need the firmware package from ipw2200.sourceforge.net. Some cards will cause issues and require the newer module though. My dell inspiron 9300 required me to rebuild the ieee80211 and ipw2200 drivers from the latest source. For most other things, the stock package package works fine. While you can use the atrpms packages, I would not recommend it. That repository has caused issues and breakage in the past. Handle with care.

My notebook has one of those.
Worked out of the box. Support is compiled as a module on the standard kernel.
