Hello all!

This is my first post, anyway.
Im having problem getting my wireless connection to work.
My notebook is a Acer TravelMate 382TCi with an built-in Intel Wireless/PRO 2200bg mini pci-card. The Accesspoint is a Netgear WG102 and im using WPA2-PSK with AES encryption.
My kernel version is 2.6.14-1.1656_FC4.

I have used yum to install the ipw2200-firmware and I´ve also set up my Accesspoint and password information in the "system-config-network".

I have also installed the wpa_supplicant and my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file looks like this:

ctrl_interface=var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
opensc_engine_path=/usr/lib/opensc/engine_opensc.so
pkcs11_engine_path=/usr/lib/opensc/engine_pkcs11.so
pkcs11_engine_path=/usr/lib/pkcs11/engine_pkcs11.so

network={
ssid="Nostromo516"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
psk=myverysillypassword
priority=1
}

Anyway, when I try activating the wireless card in the "system-config-network" I get the following error message:

Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20):
SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.

Setting IP-information for eth1... failed; there is no link. Check the cabel?
(The last row was translated by me, if it looks a little weird?).

I would really need some help with this, I have allready searched the forum and tried some of the HOWTO´s but nothing have worked yet.

Thanks!
