Details

An updated ipw2200-firmware package that matches the ipw2200 driver in the
latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernels is now available.

Newer versions of the ipw2200 driver require newer firmware. This package
contains the firmware for the latest version of the driver.

It is recommended that all users of ipw2200 wireless drivers upgrade to this
new package.


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.
