|   someone just handed me an inspiron 6000 running FC4 which, according
| to "lspci -v", has the onboard Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG (Rev 05).

|   i'm just about to wander off to ipw2200.sourceforge.net to get what
| i need.  are there any pitfalls previous travellers might warn me
| about before i start the process?  thanks.

Summary: FC4 (with updates) supports this already, but you need to
install an RPM with firmware, available from Livna.
