With WPA2? I have to confirm if things are still broken with ipw2200 1.1.4. I wish this was sorted out. Really, the developers seem to have vanished afaik.

I'm writing this email on a VPN link over a WPA-enabled
connection on my ipw2200 wifi card, FC6-uptodate
with 2.6.19-rc5-git2:

[asuardi@sandman ~]$ dmesg | grep -i ipw

What combo isn't working for you ?
