Intel Pro Wireless 2100 Mini PCI for WLAN on FC4

Step 2.1: Using Intel Pro Wireless 2100 Mini PCI for WLAN top

The usage of the Intel Pro Wireless 2100 Mini PCI for WLAN is quite easy. All new kernels include the ipw2100 module to
call the device. The only thing you have to do is to download the firmware for the card.
It can be found at [http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net].

1. Extract the firmware.
   
2. Logged in as root copy it to /lib/firmware and then load the ipw2100 module.
   [root@tigga ~]# cp *.fw /lib/firmware/
   [root@tigga ~]# modprobe ipw2100
   
3. /sbin/iwconfig should now list a new device named eth1 with wireless capabilities.
   
4. Use Desktop -> System settings to add a new wireless connection with all values set to auto.
   Then you can easily switch between hotspots using bash-scripts.
   Here are some sample scripts for either an AdHoc or a managed connection.
