I have been attempting to install the ipw2100.1.2.0 driver onto my laptop, but
have run into some troubles. It requires IEEE 802.11, which I have downloaded
the rpm for from sourceforge. The make produces the following error for me.
------------

I found through google a post on the CentOS forum by someone who had the same
problem ( http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=5347 ). He
seems to have found his way through this bit of difficulties thanks to a post on
the forum, but I have been unable to find this post. He mentions that he found
a way to install it via yum, but that may mean that he installed the package
through yum, but didn't download it.
If someone could suggest a CentOS friendly repository which contains this
package, or some other method of installation, I would appriciate it. Currently
I use dag.
Thank you all for your time and consideration,
Eric
