Is it possible: Built-in Intel Wireless iwp2200 on Sarge 2.4 (Thinkpad R50e)



I got my R50e working by falling back to Sarge 2.4/XFree86: I could not get this TrackPoint-only (no trackpad) unit to work with Etch/X.org. But is it possible to get the built-in Intel wireless working? All the kernal instructions with special wireless package (iwp2200-source) are pretty intimidating to me.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated, and especially if someone has gotten this combo to work. I have no reason not to go to a higher level if necessary, I just want to get the box working, and I am a little afraid of clobbering what I have already got working.

I have been lucky up until now: never had to do any special compiles for non-open stuff, so I have not experience with kernal headers and such.

Thanks,
