Hi,
I have an HP zt3000 with Intel PRO Wireless 2200BG wireless cards built in.
It has been awful to get it working in spite of instructions I found on
the Internet.
I followed the instructions from http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/ but
couldn't get it working.
At the moment I'm using Kubuntu on my laptop because of this wireless
problem.
Cheers,
Dustin Johnson

Morning,
1. What is the contents of your '/lib/firmware/' directory and what
does 'dmesg | grep ipw2200' give you?
2. Are you using the kernel module from apt, or did you build from source?

Drivers for ipw2200 are in Kernel since 2.6.14, so this step should not
be needed. For me all I had to dowas copy the firmware to /lib/firmware.

Drivers for ipw2200 are in Kernel since 2.6.14, so this step should not
be needed. For me all I had to dowas copy the firmware to /lib/firmware.
as mentioned below, the linux kernel now includes support for ipw2200
without having to compile anything, all you need, in both cases, is the
firmware.
oh, and also, please don't top post, makes things messy.

hence the default etch kernel 2.6.18 already works with ipw2200, it is as
simple as copying some .fw files into /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
(apparently some put it into /lib/firmware, but maybe the are not really
using debian ?).

The paths where udev hotplug looks for firmware are defined in
/lib/udev/hotplug.functions with the variable FIRMWARE_DIRS.

yes, probably, i wouldn't know, lenny is not stable is not debian yet :]
