i have a intel pro/wireless 2200bg wireless card

debian doesn\'t seem to recognize it, as i can\'t get google.com to come up or my gateway, and kwifimanager doesn\'t find any networks when it scans. it also shows 0 signal strength

i tried downloading the ipw2200 source from debian.org and i installed it using module-assistant but its still not working

when using module-assistant i got an error about missing firmware. it told me to read some file for instructions on getting the firmware. i followed them and then tried using module-assistant again but it said ipw2200 was already installed.
