hi i have gotten ipw2200 to work without installing any other packages. This was successful in the Beta Array 4 install CD , and now the live Ubuntu 5.04 version.

I have a Compaq Presario 2200 series with 2200BG centrino wlan.
this is what u do, in sudo / root mode,

Step 1
# iwconfig
— u should see that u have IEEE802.11(B/G) under eth1 (or some other)

Step 2
# iwlist eth1 scan
— this will scan for all available networks.
— if there is something picked up, it means ubuntu is able to detect a network.
— if nothing is detected, pls check your router.

Step 2a: if your wlan network is protected
# iwconfig eth1 essid YOURSSID
— to define your SSID (access point name)
# iwconfig eth1 key xxxxxxxxxx
— to define your WEP key, if any.

Step 3
# dhclient eth1
— this will request a IP from your router, if successfull u will see some messages ending with ” bound to 192.168.x.x…”
— u are connected to the internet !

hope this helps some of the newbies.
