Dell 600m and Intel Pro Wireless 2200


I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing about problems with the ipw2200, but I can't find an answer at all. I couldn't get it working in FC2, and I just upgraded to FC3. When I try to load the drivers it gives me a bunch of errors about invalid module formats. It also tells me that module firmware_class is not found. This seems odd since firmware_class is supposed to be installed by default in Fedora.

After spending countless hours on this I tried to get ndiswrapper to work. I got the driver installed, and ndiswrapper says the driver and hardware are present, but when I try to load the module it says it's an invalid module format. I'm relatively new to linux, so I'm completely stumped.

Use the Intel ipw2200 drivers, and just recompile them for your kernel; I use Debian with kernel 2.6.9, and they work beautifully (and even did with linux 2.6.8)
