Mark,
On the Ndiswrapper Wiki site it says:

Driver: version 8.0.0
ftp://aiedownload.intel.com/df-support/7440/eng/intel%20wireless%20prose
t%20%20-%208.0.0.167%20generic%20.exe

ftp://aiedownload.intel.com/df-support/7819/eng/wireless%208.1.1.0%20-%2

Other: Tested on Debian with kernel 2.6.8, ndiswrapper 0.11, w22n51.inf
from version 8.1.1.0. w22n50.inf from version 8.0.0 does not appear to
work.

Mark,
Is it a 54g wireless card? If so you may need to use the Windows drivers
with http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/, as support for 54g on Linux is
poor.

Duncan, or anyone else with experience in this,
I've installed Scientific Linux 3 (which is a rebadged RHEL3) on my
new laptop (IBM ThinkPad), but it doesn't recognise the
wireless network card, an Intel Pro 2200BG. Looks like Intel's
driver requires kernel versions >=2.6.8. SL3 has 2.4 kernels.
Scientific Linux 4 apparently has a 2.6.9 kernel.
Questions:
1. does anyone have useful experience with getting IP2200BG
working under linux?
2. does anyone have experience with Scientific Linux 4 and/or
RHEL4 (which it's a copy of)? It claims to come with
backward compatibility libraries so I guess things that
work on RHEL3 (like building/running the USSC) ought to work,
but you never know...
I'm not deeply committed to Scientific Linux, but Rhys suggested it
was a good choice.
cheers
Mark
