Latitude D505 & D810 with ipw2200

Hi to everybody who reads this.

I have only tried this on Dell Latitude D505, but I asume that I get the same problems on my Dell Latitude D810.

Having trouble to get IPW2200 to work. This is what I have done so far:

Installed FC3 and updated everything. Now running linux kernel 2.6.11-1.14_FC3
Downloaded and installed;
- kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.14_FC3.i686.rpm (needed this to install ipw2200-kmdl.....)
- ipw2200-kmdl-2.6.11-1.14_FC3smp-1.0.0-23.rhfc3.at.i686.rpm
- ipw2200-1.0.0-23.rhfc3.at.i383.rpm
- ipw2200fw-2.3.tgz (files placed under /lib/firmware)

When i double click eth1 under
Applications--->System Settings--->Network
I now see the wireless option.

But eth1 is still inactive!

I have these error messages in the Boot log:

- ifup: Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20):
- ifup: SET failed on device eth1; Operation not supported.
- ifup:
- ifup: Determining IP information for eth1...
- ifup: failed; no link present. Check cable? (little bit funny...check cable)
- network: Bringing up interface eth1: failed

If anyone could help me with this I would be an extemely happy guy.

Please excuse my english...it's not my native language.

Under the EDIT tab, are you using dhcp setting? make sure you do.....

OK.

It was already set to use dhcp.

Problem still there.

No MAC adress on card. Trying to fix this with help from this tread:

Still having problems. Can't get MAC adress on card.

Are going to install FC3 on 60 Dell Latitude D505, and I need this to work. I also have 15 D810 with dual boot WinXP and FC3. It would be very nice if I got the wireless network to work on these to.

The link above didn't help me.
