OK, I've downloaded and unzipped the firmware files in
ipw2200-fw-3.0.tgz - so I have 4 files: ipw2200-bss.fw, ipw2200-ibss.fw,
ipw2200-sniffer.fw and LICENSE.ipw2200-fw, all of which I've placed in
the /lib/firmware directory. Unfortunately, the instructions in
README.ipw2200 and INSTALL are not clear as to what to do next. I'm
using CentOS 5 on my (Dell) laptop so setting-up wireless networking should
be
reasonably straightforward - shouldn't it? Any help much appreciated -
I'm a real linux fan, but it grieves me to say that, in this case,
"wireless works much
better in Windows XP!"
