Comment 5 for bug 82444

I just got the ipw2200 working on an Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG. I'm running the Ubuntu 7.10 (Oct.2007) Live-CD on a Dell Inspiron 6000. At first, the device did not work at all. There are two BIOS settings for the wireless device. For me they were set to disable the wireless device on start-up, and enable the FN+F2 hot key. This wasn't working for me, although it didn't help that the LED never lit, so I didn't know the on/off state. Anyway, I changed the BIOS settings (F2 on start-up), to enable wireless device on start up, and to enable application control which also disables the Fn+F2 hardware hotkey. The wireless worked automatically upon booting Linux. I just had to click the network icon in the upper right and connect.
