It's been about 3 weeks now that I have been trying to configure my Intel Pro Wireless 2200bg card to connect to a local WPA encrypted network. I was able to connect using SuSE 9.3 with very little effort. However I recently switched because I could not get used to SuSE....I had too many problems installing software. I am running kernel 2.6.14.4, I installed the following packages from sourceforge with no errors:
ipw2200
ieee80211
ipw2200-firmware
wireless-tools
I get the following when entering
dmesg | grep ipw2200 in my terminal.
ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.8
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2005 Intel Corporation
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
when I type
iwconfig, I get the following:
lo no wireless extensions.

I get no signal, I turned the radio on with Fn+F2, still no luck. I know the network is up because I can connect to it with Windows. It seems as though I'm just not picking up a signal. Any ideas?
