Re: Intel 2100 wireless firmware (ipw2100-1.3.fw) for Lenny installation

[Mark <mamarcac@gmail.com>]

Well, I got the .fw file to load and the wireless device appears loaded but cannot connect to my WPA personal wireless network.  I am running another Lenny laptop that connects fine, almost identical hardware except it has a Broadcom wireless NIC.  All wireless networks are sniffed by the device, which means the driver and firmware are both functioning correctly, right?  Here is my iwconfig and lspci -nn output, any ideas why it won't connect?
