FC2 2200BG Fujitsu!

[zneeks]

Hello!
I am areal beginner when it comes to Linux.
I have a Fujitsu-siemens Lifebook S7010 And running FC2 on it. I got everything to work but not the Intel 2200BG wirelless to start.
Yum Update, updated my machine with the kernel 2.6.8.1.521

I found the driver for the 2200BG card on http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/ But me who is a dumb fuc.ed newvi cant understand the things to do.

So my question is:

Can someone please do a HOWTO for this card ? I mean every step there is to do, every letter to put in the computer Bla Bla... You know...

Some1 ? Or another good tip for this card!

Hi,

I have Fujitsu S6210, with same wireless card. I pretty much a newb too but i was able to get mine to work.

Download the driver from ipw2200.sf.net (u might need to download the firmware too). Unpack it:

# tar -zxvf ipw2200-0.11.tgz

and you will prolly need to use the patch, also found at SF.

after that,

#cd ipw2200-0.11
#make
#./load

i get an error when i type ./load but somehow it still loads (you can check with command iwconfig and you should see your ipw2200 loaded at eth1)

U might also need to configure it a bit with iwlist, iwconfig.

theres some steps that can be found at this link:

hope that helps
