Centrino / IPW 2200 Wireless for Mandriva 2007

Posted 02-23-2007 at 11:52 AM by taupist

It's absolutely critical that you get the right firmware for your driver . . .

http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php

For Mandriva 2007 that would be the 3.0 version of the firmware.

You then have to create a soft link to "/lib/firmware" (which is where your firmware should be); As Root, issue this command in the terminal ln -s /lib/firmware /etc/firmware Next, open "Configure Your Computer", go to "Set up a new network interface"...

In the time since I started out, I've bought copies of Mandrake 6.0, Suse 8.2 Pro, Mdk 9.1 Personal,
 RH 6.0 & 6.2 and Mdk 10.0 Powerpack. I've upgraded to an Inspiron 6000 and Mdv 2006 Free, gave all the others away except the first (Mdk 6.0). I'm still kind of attached to that one, hope to get it running again sometime. I was really put off by the password issues with...

The first experience I had with Linux was in about 1999, when I found a copy fo Mandrake 6.0 in a
