Unhappy Error loading ieee80211 drivers for ipw2200

Yeah, another Intel Pro Wireless 2200 thread. Sorry. (Using FC5, on a HP Pavilion dv1000)

Basically, I was going through the instructions listed here:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showth...1&page=2&pp=15
and I ran into a problem:

[root@localhost adam]# /sbin/modprobe ipw2200
WARNING: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.17-1.2187_FC5smp/kernel/net/ieee80211/ieee80211_crypt.ko': No such file or directory
WARNING: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.17-1.2187_FC5smp/kernel/net/ieee80211/ieee80211.ko': No such file or directory
FATAL: Error inserting ipw2200 (/lib/modules/2.6.17-1.2187_FC5smp/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

I also tried the instructions here: http://www.ces.clemson.edu/linux/fc2-ipw2200.shtml and came up with this error:
[root@localhost ieee80211-1.2.15]# make
Checking in /lib/modules/2.6.17-1.2187_FC5smp for ieee80211 components...
find: /lib/modules/2.6.17-1.2187_FC5smp/build/: No such file or directory
egrep: /lib/modules/2.6.17-1.2187_FC5smp/build//.config: No such file or directory
egrep: /lib/modules/2.6.17-1.2187_FC5smp/build//include/linux/autoconf.h: No such file or directory

make: *** [modules] Error 2
[root@localhost ieee80211-1.2.15]#

So what did I do wrong? It looks like the module isn't anywhere to be found. Any ideas on how to get this to work? It seems like this is the last step to getting wireless to work so it'd be really, really nice.... any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You need to install the kernel-devel package:

#yum install kernel-devel

(Sorry it took so long, school got me tied up)

Okay, I did that.
Now following the instructions I get to this:

[root@localhost tmp]# /sbin/modprobe ipw2200
FATAL: Error inserting ipw2200 (/lib/modules/2.6.17-1.2187_FC5smp/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Also following the instructions in the original post, I STILL get the same error while attempting to "make" in the ieee80211 folder.

I have no idea what to do or what this means...

FC5 comes with ieee80211 support included, there is really not need to try to install a new version unless you are are having some issues with the cirrent version. All you need to install is the firmware to be able to use your ipw2200
