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?

Hi HuzA08, can you share more detail on what did you do to get it working?

I am sure other people will appreciated it as well. I have an IBM T42 laptop with Intel 2200BG and I could NOT get the wireless to work since FC5 until now, I am running Fedora 9 but still have to use wired network for it ( Note that the wireless works fine under XP Pro SP2, but I'd like to use Fedora).
