Hi

Firstly sorry for being a hopeless newbie!

I'm trying get my intel 2200 wireless card working. Everything I read says to get the .gz from http://ipw2200.sf.net/firmware.php, which should contain 7 files:

ipw-2.3-sniffer_ucode.fw,

ipw-2.3-boot.fw, etc.

When I unzip it it only has 1 file:

ipw2200-fw-2.3

What am I missing here? do I have to do something to this file to get the others?

 

TIA.

Well I did say sorry for being hopeless...

 

but how on earth are you supposed to know its a compressed file inside a compressed file?

 

I got them by double clicking the extracted file in a konqueror window, copy & paste them to documents then moving them using a konsole window. Could I have used the tar command? Guess I've got a lot more reading to do yet....
