Hi,

To get the ipw2200 driver included with the 2.6.9-5.0.5.EL kernel to 
work on my Dell Latitude D800 laptop, I found that I needed to 
download and install into /lib/firmware the following files:

ipw2200_boot.fw
ipw2200_bss.fw
ipw2200_ibss.fw
ipw2200_ucode.fw

These files are located at 
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php.

Are these files not included in the SL 4.0 distribution for licensing 
reasons?  The wireless driver can't work without them so it would be 
much more convenient to have them included with the SL 4.0 
distribution.

Regards,
Raymond

PS:  SL 4.0 works very nicely on the Dell D800.  For setting up X on 
the 1920x1200 resolution WUXGA LCD display, I found the information at 
http://techsounds.orgdotorg.org/linux/d800/ very useful.  Since I am 
not particularly concerned with high performance 3D rendering, I have 
been using the X server included with SL 4.0 rather than the drivers 
at nVIDIA's web site.
