Enable intel BG2200 wireless using WPA-PSK TKIP on Fedora 6
I'm having trouble enabling my intel BG2200 wireless to work on my wireless network. I installed the latest firmware drivers and it connected to a non-secure network (wifi card name is eth1), but it will not connect to mine. Being a pretty noob setting up linux, can someone provide me a step by step dummies walkthrough to get this SOB workin.

Ok, going to go into further details Later. I upgraded to fedora 7 so I'm not sure if this will work on 6. But I got it to work flawlessly on 7.
Open terminal
Type NetworkManager
Apply your settings and reboot the system. It worked fine. I'll go into step by step details when I get some sleep and the linuxbox finishes its updating. Suprised no one knew how to answer this. Guess windows really does dominate the market.

Considering SWBF is only designed for Windows, I wouldn't expect much linux help here.

True. Well I'm feeling a little ill today, so the instructions are going to be delayed a little longer. My only thing is finding a way to get the wired and the wireless to either be connected at the same time, or auto switch when the wired is not connected.

Fedora 7 sets everything up normally with no probs or extra work. If any one wants to run Fedora 6 or later and have this wireless card, PM me and I'll post the instructions here. But my suggestion would be to upgrade to fedora 7 or later.
