But I have a problem with the wireless card when I run Fedora 8, actually the wireless card can work well under WinXP. When I boot my laptop under Fedora 8, it always show me in the log file: ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.2.2kmprq 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: ipw2200-bss.fw request_firmware failed: Reason -2 ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2 ipw2200: failed to register network device ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:02.0 disabled ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:02.0 failed with error -5 Does any idea to fix such problem? Thanks. Eason ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Eason, Did you try to boot the linux kernel without the acpi option ? If yes, does it change something ? I do have such Wireless adapter ( ipw2200 ) on a hp nc8000 running the same kernel and it doesn't generate any conflict messages like yours. Could you please also check the release for the ipw2200-firmware RPM package ( rpm - q ipw2200-firmware ) ? Thanks for your feedback. Philippe
