Thanks Fabian,
There seem to be a number of different ways of installing the ipw2200
firmware and as I've said already I've tried puttting the .fw files into
the firmware directory - why doesn't this work? What is actually the
best/recommended way of installing the firmware in CentOS 5 please? - not
too complicated please as I'm a linux enthusiast but not a great expert!
Andy

Use the ipw2200-firmware rpm from the RPMForge repo (see
http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories) .... Then you'll be able to
use/configure the ipw2200 device . You can use for example
NetworkManager to automatically configure your network if you have a
laptop ...
