Note in Repoforge's spec says: "EL6 ships with ipw2200-firmware-3.1-4.el6" so there is no need to update it, it should work out of the box.

I see it in my local mirrors for CentOS 6, but I'm still running CentOS 5 on this laptop and other boxes. I would like to be able to re-install the same version if something bad happens, and right now it looks like I can't do it. > -- Ron Loftin relof...@twcny.rr.com "God, root, what is difference ?"

[CentOS] Intel wireless firmware
This may not be the best place to ask, but Google hasn't given me any useful information. I have an "older" laptop that is using the Intel 2200 wireless interface. I installed CentOS 5 on it some time ago and everything is fine. When I was reviewing my kickstart setups I found that the ipw2200 firmware package is no longer available in RPMForge. The CentOS site's how-to page for this interface still refers to RPMForge, so that now seems out of date. What happened to the Intel firmware packages on RPMForge and where else should I be looking for them ? I tried ELRepo and didn't see them there. Suggestions and pointers are welcome, and thanks in advance. -- Ron Loftin relof...@twcny.rr.com "God, root, what is difference ?"
