Hi,
I'm using X, hard wired to ethernet to post this note.
iwconfig:
root@ploplinux ~# iwconfig
sit0 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
root@ploplinux ~#
dongle's in USB port.
thx

*going on HOLIDAY
The firmware has not been loaded. It's a non-free firmware, so its in an own directory with special license information.
You have to unsquashfs the ploplinux/lib.sqfs
change to squashfs-root/firmware/ipw2x00 and move all files one level up.
remove the old lib.sqfs
create a new lib.sqfs: mksquashfs squashfs-root lib.sqfs
Now 'iwconfig' should show a wlan0 and 'iwlist scan' should show the WLANs around you.

Elmar

Hi,
I interpret ipw2x00 directory files moved into intelwimax directory (attached).
Therefore, ipw2x00 must be empty.
Please clarify.

the files ipw2200-bss.fw and so on, must come to 'lib/firmware' or in squashfs level 'squashfs-root/firmware'
