loading ipw2200 driver FC3 & above

if you have a X running

try to run neat and change the specify eth for WLAN

i have this in my /etc/modprobe.conf

alias eth0 e100
alias wlan0 ndiswrapper


in your case was

alias wlan0 ipw2200

Thanks.

That has made it detect OK and comes up as wlan0 - now when I try to activate it says that ipw2200 is not present. I had it working fine under another build (FC3) - this is a fresh build.

I am running FC4 Test 1 - 1221.

After you add
alias wlan0 ipw2200
into /etc/modules.conf, you can do
mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img  `uname -r`
 where `uname -r` give your the kernel version.
This will rebuild bootup ramdisk so it load the ipw2200 when boot up.

Thanks for the comments - I still couldn't get the built-in driver to work. I have downloaded and installed the latest driver & firmware from SF - it will load manually and works fine.

This is the output:

[root@localhost ipw2200-1.0.3]# ./load
Unloaded: ieee80211 ieee80211_crypt
Loaded: ieee80211_crypt ieee80211_crypt_wep ieee80211_crypt_tkip ieee80211_crypt_ccmp ieee80211 ipw2200

How can I get the system to do this automatically on startup? Lodaing the driver manually has to be done as root.

Thanks.
