[Ipw2100-devel] Re: updated FC2 rpms (was: IPW2200 0.3 available for download)

[Robert B. <rbi...@sw...>]

hi all,

I had a go at ATrpms FC2 ipw2200 packages this morning. Added at-stable
and at-testing to yum.conf and installed the firmware, kernel module and
driver.
There was one dependency [deps: atrpms 56-1.rhfc2.at.i386].

Running modprobe ipw2200 inserted the modules fine.

I brought the card up fine. So far seems very good. :)

Any further information needed let me no.

[root@localhost firmware]# uname -r
2.6.7-1.494.2.2
Dell Inspiron 8600
