Intel Centrino laptop Red Hat or Fedora Core Linux wireless configuration Howto

I have Red Hat Linux workstation 4.0 installed on my Intel Centrino laptop. The good thing is support is included and all you need to do is add additional softwares or RPM to configure the wireless:
ipw2100-firmware-1.3-1 and ipw2200-firmware-2.0-3

Use any one of the following command to install the RPMS:
OR
Otherwise you can download package here -> http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/ ==> Here you will get source code and Debian, Gentoo, Suse and other Linux distributions packages

Next type following command to configure card:
Just follow on screen instructions i.e.

Click the Devices tab > New > Wireless connection > Click forward > Select your wireless device > Assign IP using DHCP or Static > Save the changes > Select File > Save.

Don't forget to activate your wireless card. More info @ http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/l...-wireless.html

Enjoy!!!
