Details

An updated ipw2200-firmware package that matches the version of the ipw2200
driver shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 1 is now available.

The ipw2200-firmware package contains firmware files for Intel PRO/Wireless
2200 network adapters.

The ipw2200 driver that shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 1
requires newer firmware. This updated package includes the new firmware,
while still retaining the old firmware for older kernels and driver versions.

which resolves this issue.


Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
