Enable intel BG2200 wireless using WPA-PSK TKIP on Fedora 6

Post by ShadowHawk »

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.
