CentOS - Sep 2006 - wifi (ipw2200) stoped working after upgrade to 4.4

Has anyone else had any problems with getting wifi to work after upgrade ?

I am using ipw2200 on an HP laptop - was working under 4.3

It's continued working in my inspiron laptop just fine. You may want
to check and make sure that you still have the firmware in place.
Depending on how you installed the firmware, it could have been
removed.

The latest kernel requires you have the Intel ipw 2.4 firmware installed
in '/lib/firmware/'. Have you done this?

I stopped using the ipw2200 driver that comes with the kernel a long
time ago. These days, I use the stock one, directly from the developers.
ipw2200.sf.net, if I recall. So I really had no problems with this one.

Is this a Atheros card (I have an HP NC4010 with the Atheros card).  You 
need to grap new MadWiFi files.  Plus they finally have the WPA_GUI 
available for us.

You will find the Madwifi rpms (there are 3 of them) in the RPMS.stable 
directory.  The WPA supplicant rpms are in the RPMS.testing directory.

There seemes to be on change of moving the wpa_supplicant.conf file from 
/etc to /etc/wpa_supplicant

I probably should have realized that 'ipw' ment Intel, and I know they 
favor the Broadcom chipset (hey, I attend IEEE 802 meetings and I know 
who talks to who at the evening bar meetings :) ).

Are any of you using WPA Supplicant?  Are you getting it from someplace 
other than http://dl.atrpms.net/sl4-i386/atrpms/ ?
