New to Fedora, struggling with wireless

[Ed Landaveri]

Cecilia,
su - at the command prompt, then run:
dmesg | grep ipw2200
if you get an answer:
ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.1.2kmprq
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
ipw2200: Detected geography ZZM (11 802.11bg channels, 0 802.11a channels)
It means that your wireless card got detected. Then if you have the ipw2100 or ipw2200 download the firmware from :
http://zod.freshrpms.net/
then still as root run:
rpm -ivh ipw2100-firmware.rpm or rpm -ivh ipw2200-firmware.rpm
replace iwpw2x00-firmware.rpm for the right name of the file you downloaded.
Reboot your machine and  you'll see that now will work
regards.
