I installed kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 in a Sony Vaio VGN S260.

Sergio
did you install the wireless via rpms?
do you have the kernel module for the .770 kernel?
try rpm -qa | grep ipw2200
to see what ya got

I had not. But now I do.
do you have the kernel module for the .770 kernel?
try rpm -qa | grep ipw2200
to see what ya got
ipw2200-firmware-2.2-2.1.fc3.fr
Now the message is slightly different.
Mar 10 10:59:50 antoy kernel: ipw2200: ipw2200_ucode.fw load failed

Mar 10 10:59:55 antoy kernel: ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:0b.0 failed with error -5
The command lsmod shows

I have the same rev card in a T-42 thinkpad running FC-3. I've never
used the rpms, ive always just used the packages from ipw2200.sf.net.
Here is what I do, it may be worth a shot to see if this still fails:
Download the module package from the ipw2200.sf.net site, and unpack the
package:
# zcat ipw2200-1.0.1.tgz | tar xvf -
Step into the ipw2200-1.0.1 directory and run:
# make
# make install
If this goes well you should be good to go, then:
Download the matching firmware package for this build, ipw2200-fw-2.2.tgz
Unpack the package into /lib/firmware
# zcat ipw2200-fw-2.2.tgz | tar xvf - -C /lib/firmware
Once you are done with that you should be able to modprobe ipw2200 into
the kernel:
# modprobe ipw2200
Once this is done the device should be registerd, check with 'dmesg'
You should be able to scan at this point as mentioned earlier...
If this works configure the device in /etc/modprobe.conf :
alias ethX ipw2200
Let me know how this goes...

Chris, thanks you.
I was using exaclty your setting and the wireless networking
worked. It stopped when I upgraded to 770. The problem was
a a failure to load the firmware. With the latest rmp,
ipw2200-firmware-2.2-5.at
the firmware seems to load OK. The problem now is the format of the
modules:
Mar 11 10:04:48 antoy modprobe: WARNING: Error inserting ieee80211
(/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.770_FC3/updates/drivers/net/wireless/ipw/ieee80211.ko): Invalid
module format
Mar 11 10:04:48 antoy modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting ipw2200
(/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.770_FC3/updates/drivers/net/wireless/ipw/ipw2200.ko): Invalid
module format
These are the rmps I installed
ipw2200-kmdl-2.6.10-1.770_FC3-1.0.0-23.rhfc3.at
ipw2200-1.0.0-23.rhfc3.at
There are many kmdl's. I do not know how to choose
ipw2200-kmdl-2.6.10-1.770_14.rhfc3.atsmp-1.0.0-23.rhfc3.at.x86_64.rpm
ipw2200-kmdl-2.6.10-1.770_14.rhfc3.at-1.0.0-23.rhfc3.at.x86_64.rpm
ipw2200-kmdl-2.6.10-1.770_FC3smp-1.0.0-23.rhfc3.at.x86_64.rpm

Thanks again,
