11/16/05 new info...error is :
ipw-2.2-boot.fw load failed:re -2
unable to load firmware:0XFFFFFFFE
1)net config does not list intell pro 2200
2)kwifi does not auto detect and i am unable to configure.
3)I put the two drivers, ipw2200.ko and ieee8021.ko (apparently up to date) into lib/firmware without help.
apparently i need to manually set this up somehow...

fedora doesnt have the same type of hardware detection as knoppix...do a little research on what type of wireless chipset your card has, then simply load up the correct driver for it...should work fine...

you can configure the ndis wrapper and use the actual windows drivers for your wireless adap pters. You will need to identify the chipset of your wireless card, which should not be difficult. Linuxant.com will direct you to the links for this.
Sourceforge.net has an excellent ndis wrapper project.
Also, visit linuxant's website for configuring your wirless adapter using their software.They have easy step by step
instructions, and you will use your window's drivers also.
Still, Fedora 1-4 have the airo_cs driver built in to the kernel so using a cisco aironet pcm352 card will work on many laptop models without any configuration
