Wireless problems with FC7

[help!!_newbie]

I've recently installed FC7 on my inspiron 6000. Everything works fine with the exception of my wireless NIC ( which is an Intel Pro 2200). On boot up I get the following error messages from dmesg:

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready

And the output from iwlist eth1 scanning

[root@localhost firmware]# iwlist eth1 scanning
eth1 No scan results

I've installed the latest firmware and device driver for ipw2200. but all to no avail. Please help

contents of /lib/firmware.

[root@localhost firmware]# ls
ipw2100-1.3.fw ipw-2.4-boot.fw ipw-2.4-sniffer_ucode.fw
