[CLUG] intel 2200 wireless on mandrake 10.1 official

[justin flavin]

i havent grabbed the latest ipw2200 drivers just yet , as i decided to
go down the ndiswrapper route after i came across some folks saying
that the ndis stuff works just fine on Debian.

i'm almost there - when i do a iwconfig, i can see the specs of wlan0
- so it's definitely "up".

next thing i need to do is figure out how to connect to my wireless
access point - it's not connecting (and no doubt , its down to
something really minor on my part)
