configuring wire less on fc6

[mummaneni]

Hi All,

While trying to activate my wireless on my box, I am getting the follwoing error message.

ipw2200 device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.
can not activate network device eth1!


I am getting the following from lspci command
#lspci -vv

The following is there in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf file
device: eth1
driver: ipw2200
desc: "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection"
vendorId: 8086

This shows ipw2200 driver is installed on the system..

Please suggest me what is the problem and how to enable the wire-less.

Thanks Inadvance,
Mummaneni.

The IPW2200 driver is part of the Linux kernel, so therefor it is installed by default.

You simply need to install the firmware in /lib/firmware/: download the latest one (v3.0) from here and extract it in /lib/firmware/
