Wireless Card - Intel Centrino does not work

[Dusty Matthews]

I have an ipw2200 and I actually have to explicitly set the A.P's address.

You can get this info by running 'iwlist scanning'. Next your AP will
show up as a "cell" and will have an Address. Copy that.

run 

iwconfig eth1 essid _insert_essid_here_
iwconfig eth1 ap _insert_ap_address_here_

I also set my wep key manually, I've never been able to get a
passphrase working, just the hex key.

iwconfig eth1 key open _insert_hex_key_here_

(change open to shared if you use shared key)

then I can run dhclient eth1

It's a nuisance, but I live. The drivers are coming  along pretty
quickly, they'll get there someday.
