Dear List

I am trying to get my Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG wirless card working
with Fedora core 6.  I have installed the upto drives as the I was advised
but I have some error messages coming up in my /var/log/messages these
are:


Nov 18 18:10:03 bilbo kernel: ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915
Network Driver, 1.1.2kmprq

Nov 18 18:10:03 bilbo kernel: ipw2200: probe of 0000:01:05.0 failed with
error -5

It looks from the logs above that it has detected the card ok but failed
to load the firmware.  How can I fix this?

Where do i configure the card to connect to my network?

Thankyou for your help

Regards

Gordon Stewart
