I had similar problems with ipw2100 and FC2 (I'm running FC3 now, but haven't had chance to try the ipw2100 drivers yet).
Anyway, first check to see if you have the module installed for your wireless card:
Code:
#lsmod |grep -i ipw2200
If you get no result, then you need to load your module by hand:
If you didn't get any errors, then check again to see if the module is loaded. If all went well, then just use the network settings tool to bring up the settings for your wireless card.
To have the ipw2200 module load at boot up, edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit. Locate the lines in that file that look like this:
Code:
echo -n $"Initializing hardware... "
ide=""
scsi=""
network=""
audio=""
other=""
and add your wireless module like this:
Code:
echo -n $"Initializing hardware... "
ide=""
scsi=""
network="ipw2200"
audio=""
other=""
Hope this works for you.
