Intel 2200BG with FC4

[halpern]

FC4 comes with intel 2200bg drivesr and I installed the firmware for it by downloading the rpm. It seems as though it does not work. I do not see any wireless settings anywhere. I am using a Toshiba Satellite M35X-S1492. Can anyone help? Do you need more info? Thanks.

halpern, have a look at http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/...ghlight=2200bg
this should cover your problem. Have a go and let us know how you get on.

Did you install the firmware in the /lib/firmware directory?

Click on applications -->system tools -->internet connection wizard

and create a wireless connection and see if it displays your hardware.

I have my wireless set to manual activation. You have to set it to managed with a named SSID. This is probably my only aggravation with the wireless in Linux, even with NetworkManager, it is still a pain to roam and use an assorted set of networks without a bunch of configuration.
