Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG problem

Hi. I need help on configuring my intel pro/wireless 2200BG card under FC4.

The ifup-eth1 mis not generated in network-scripts

I've installed the firmware and now there are no errors when issuing "dmesg |grep 2200", this is the output:

Code:

============================================================================================
[root@vaiogpg ~]# dmesg |grep 2200 ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.0
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
============================================================================================

Network settings in gnome won't start and trying "system-config-network"  the configuration interface is not started and this is the output:

============================================================================================
[root@vaiogpg ~]# system-config-network

Message from syslogd@vaiogpg at Thu Dec 22 19:58:16 2005 ...
vaiogpg kernel: Disabling IRQ #10
============================================================================================

Can you help me solving this? Thanks in advance
Regards

ok. sorry for that

Initially I thought that the drivers for the 2200bg didn't work under FC4.

but it turns out that the firmware timeout was too short. After I increased it, it worked fine.

look in dmesg and see if the firmware detection times out. If that's the case, then increase the timeout period. Sorry I don't exactly remember how. I'll have to reboot my machine into linux to find out.

it´s solved by installing ipw2200-firmware from atrpms
