Hi Huza08.

ipw2200 should be fully supported in Fedora Core 8 (all required drivers etc installed with OS). Can you describe your problem a bit better? Why do you say that it's 'not working'?

To install software, just open the Applications menu and choose Add/Remove Programs. For more information, look here:

OK. How is your network set up? Are you using WPA?

When you go to 'Applications' -> 'Add/Remove Programs' there should be a list of software etc that is available for you to install. Is there something specific that you want to install?
