Hi, I had to reinstall win and linux on my D600.

1- i installed winXP
2- i installed fedora core 4
3- i did >yum update

An then I tried to re install the ipw2100 ib my laptop....I did:

tar xfz ipw2100-fw-1.3.tgz
ln -s /lib/firmware /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
cp ./*.fw /lib/firmware/
cp ./LICENSE /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/

to copy the FW files and reboot.

Then i did on Desktop>System Settings>Network Configuration>New
Mode = Auto
SSDI = Auto
Channel = 1
Transmit Rate = Auto

but the wifi is not working. I can bring up the eth1 interface and ping the ip address of the adapter, but I can not ping my linksys 802.11g/b router.

[root@localhost ~]# ifconfig eth1
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:F1:1E:B0:37
