That bug sounds more like a kernel problem, reassigning to the proper component. Read ya, Phil
does the wireless driver in 1833 work any better? (Building your own driver is unsupported, any issues you have with that you should take to the driver maintainers)

I'm seeing the ipw-2.4-boot.fw load fail on FC5 as well.
I found /lib/firmware empty. After I went to the Intel website, downloaded the driver kit, and populated /lib/firmware, the card now loads and works fine. (Is this due to RH/FC rejecting binary driver modules from inclusion?)
ipw2200 version 1.1.3m and ieee80211 version 1.1.14 works very well for me. It's clearly the best version of the ipw2200 driver i've tried so far. NetworkManager works great with WPA-Personal encrypted networks with hidden SSID as well as unencrypted wireless networks. That's all i've tried. It seems like my frequent dropouts are gone or at least minimized in some way.
Note: With the latest 2.6.17 update, you must have the 3.0 firmware installed from http://ipw2200.sf.net The original problem in this bug should be fixed, so I'm closing this out. If there are still any problems with this driver, please file a separate bug. Thanks.
