Even when I configure it manually, I don't get any connectivity. So it
doesn't seem to be related to DHCP here.

But it could be related to the DHCP issue I'm seeing on FC8 and OpenSuSE10.2
Thanks for the hint.

So you have an ipw2200 running in CentOS5 without any issues? How did you do
this? ;)

Looking forward to hearing from you.
