Last had to get the Intel Centrino wireless going. The chipset I have is the Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG. So I just had to get the intel firmware for it and drop it in the /lib/firmware. It's where the 2.6 kernels looks for firmware. The firmware was from the ipw2200 sourceforgeprojects page. After downloading it you should have a file called "ipw2200-fw-2.4.tgz". Untar it into the dir /lib/firmware
"tar xzvf ipw2200-fw-2.4.tgz -C /lib/firmware
Then remove the module if it's running
rmmod ipw2200
Theninsert it back in with
modprobe ipw2200
Before doing this you might need to install the ieee80211 package with the command
apt-get install ieee80211-source
Then
module-assistant -t build ieee80211-source".
