This may not be the best place to ask, but Google hasn't given me any useful information. I have an "older" laptop that is using the Intel 2200 wireless interface. I installed CentOS 5 on it some time ago and everything is fine. When I was reviewing my kickstart setups I found that the ipw2200 firmware package is no longer available in RPMForge. The CentOS site's how-to page for this interface still refers to RPMForge, so that now seems out of date. What happened to the Intel firmware packages on RPMForge and where else should I be looking for them ? I tried ELRepo and didn't see them there. Suggestions and pointers are welcome, and thanks in advance. -- Ron Loftin reloftin at twcny.rr.com "God, root, what is difference ?" Piter from UserFriendly

I didn't realise they were no longer available from rpmforge. File an RFE and I'll get them added for you.> Suggestions and pointers are welcome, and thanks in advance. >
