I have been out for a bit on vacation.... so this may be a bit old. Your issue is likely that you have the wrong Firmware driver for the specific chipset you have. http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php Try using a different version.... that was my issue.

Hi, I just installed Fedora 7 and I can't get my ipw2200 wireless nic card to work. It looks like the firmware, module, etc... is getting loaded. One thing that is troubling is that the little wlan light does not come on when I add the ipw2200 module. The laptop is an IBM Thinkpad x40. I don't think that there is anything wrong with the hardware because this laptop was working fine with Ubuntu Feisty. Firmware is ipw2200-firmware-3.0-9. Here is output from dmesg, and iwconfig: dmesg: ==== ieee80211_crypt: unregistered algorithm 'NULL' ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL' ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, git-1.1.13 ieee80211: Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Intel Corporation <jketreno@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.2.0kmprq ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:02.0[A] -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 22 ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection ipw2200: Detected geography ZZM (11 802.11bg channels, 0 802.11a channels) iwconfig: ===== lo no wireless extensions. irda0 no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. eth1 unassociated ESSID:"berrynet" Nickname:"bbk.lanl.gov" Mode:Managed Frequency=2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Sensitivity=8/0 Retry limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 sit0 no wireless extensions. -- Dr.-Ing.
