2.6.17-1.2141_FC4
2.6.17-1.2139_FC4

ipw2200 versions tested:
  ipw2200-1.1.3-43.rhfc4.at.i386.rpm
  ipw2200-firmware-3.0-8.at.noarch.rpm
  ipw2200-kmdl-2.6.17-1.2139_FC4-1.1.3-43.rhfc4.at.i686.rpm

  ipw2200-1.1.0-40.rhfc4.at.i386.rpm

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.2.2-0.FC4.1.i386

How reproducible:
Install module-init-tools-3.2.2-0.FC4.1.i386.rpm. Loading of ipw2200 fails.

Comment 2 Christian Iseli 2007-01-20 00:39:17 UTC 
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd.

Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and
either update the target product or close it ?

Thanks.
Comment 3 Peter van Hooft 2007-01-20 09:57:24 UTC 
I've installed fc6 know, on which ipw2200 works quite well.
Since fc4 is eol-d, I close this bug.
