Suse 10.0 Desktop does not try to install firmware.

I am using Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, but on my suse linux, it does not
find the interface automatically. So, I downloaded ieee80211-1.1.9,
ipw2200-1.0.10, and the firmaware of ipw2200-fw-2.4. I installed ieee
802.11 and ipw 2200 driver well, and untar ipw2200-fw-2.4.tgz and copy all
contents in the directory to /lib/firmware/.

When I push EDIT button using YaST-Network Devices-Network Card of Intel
PRO/Wireless 2200BG, it keep saying that it needs ipw-firmware package.

I am sure all files to /lib/firmware/.

What do you think what I am doing wrong?

Hi,

Just guess that the firmware should be provided as rpm package, so that YaST
knows it is installed.
