Good luck with your wireless card!



      

Thanks for your reply.  Am new to Debian and wasn't aware of the root 
terminal.  Once there, I could minipulate the files as needed.

    

For the benefit of others, where did you end up putting the files?
My ipw firmware files are in /lib/firmware, where I think you said
yours were, and I am not having any problems with them.

Inquiring mind would like to know.

Have you done a successful installation of the intel on an etch laptop?  I did a locate and it appears that wireless tools and the ieee files came with the install, so I've not bothered to download and install them.  My firmware files are in place yet when I try to do the make on the ipw2200_110 file nothing executes.  Am stumped at this point.  Maybe bad files in firmware or ipw downloads, so shall start by re-downloaded those and putting them in clean.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
