I want connect to the Wi-Fi provied by my campus and it requestes a authentication process.it works find under winxp,however i couldn't do it on FC4.Here is the info after i installed ipw2200 driver:

[root@localhost ipw2200-1.1.3]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

dev26878 no wireless extensions.

sit0 no wireless extensions.

Warning: Driver for device eth1 recommend version 18 of Wireless Extension, but has been compiled with version 17, therefore some driver features may not be available...

when i try to active the eth1 interface, it always shows:

Determine ip address for eth1.....failed

i couldn't connect to the internet because the driver wasn't installed properly or the configuration is set incorrectly? thanks for any help!

it uses windows drivers =)

I seriously doubt the mode should be Ad-Hoc. Change it to Managed.

I also hope you didn't post the actual encryption key for their system, they may not like you very much for that.

if you also post out the configuration u'r using, we may extend better help. and it looks like you're trying to use DHCP, is the same used in your college?
