Wireless Laptop Card ?

[GravityFX3]

I have "Intel Corp. PRO/Wireless 2200" card, in my Sony VGN-FS740/W laptop. I have followed this how-to: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=87454&highlight=ipw2200 carefully and installation went without any problems, but when I type: dmesg | grep I get this:

ipwipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.8
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2005 Intel Corporation
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
ipw2200: ipw-2.4-boot.fw load failed: Reason -2
ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2
ipw2200: failed to register network device
ipw2200: probe of 0000:06:04.0 failed with error -5

and yes I have installed, ieee80211-1.1.6.tgz and ipw2200-1.0.8.tgz packages, I've searched on google and figured out that udev is broken, or something, any clue ?

I am using Fedora Core 5 test 2 =)

Please help!

My USB wireless adapter requires a firmware file on the disk that is downloaded to the dongle when it is inserted. I don't know anything about your specific card, but those are pretty close to the same messages I was getting before I had the firmware file installed correctly. Is one of the tarfiles you mention supposed to be this firmware? Is it in the correct location and named correctly?

Just FYI, in Fedora the hotplug system looks for firmware files in /lib/firmware.

fedora-test list is a better place really. Almost no developer reads this forum
