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 The CentOS site's how-to page for this interface still refers to RPMForge, so that now seems out of date.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.
Suggestions and pointers are welcome, and thanks in advance.

ipw2200-firmware is part of base system now, at least I have that package installed by anaconda.

I see it in my local mirrors for CentOS 6, but I'm still running CentOS 5 on this laptop and other boxes. I would like to be able to re-install the same version if something bad happens, and right now it looks like I can't do it.

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:
https://github.com/repoforge/rpms/tree/master/specs/ipw2200-firmware
Maybe you should ask / file an issue with repoforge.

I am not sure if I got it right, but I understood it, their transition to git broke their pattern of work, so there are snags until people do not acclimatize, and all packages are checked. Reporting a problem will help.

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.

Note in Repoforge's spec says: "EL6 ships with ipw2200-firmware-3.1-4.el6"
so there is no need to update it, it should work out of the box. Even aTrpms has only 3.0.9.
