Trouble with wireless network card...


Hi. I'm not extremely new to Slackware. I've had a Slack 10 machine setup before. I decided to try installing Slack 11 on my laptop.

Everything loaded fine. I used the huge26.s kernel, and remembered to install the kernel module package in the /extras folder on the second disk. Everything is working fine now, except for my wireless network card.

lspci:

Code:
06:05.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05)
Did some searching, and it required the ipw2200 driver. So I check and see if it's included in my kernel somewhere.

lsmod turns up this relevent information.

Code:
ipw2200 101312 0
ieee80211 29896 1 ipw2200
ieee80211_crypt 4352 1 ieee80211
However, when I try iwconfig, this is what I get:

Code:
lo    no wireless extensions.

eth0    no wireless extensions.

sit0    no wireless extensions.
What else could I be missing?
