Description Palm Pre 2012-08-05 17:42:01 CEST 
Description of problem: It stopped working a while ago (mageia2a2 maybe) and still doesn't work. Workaround described in bug 3344 (comment #30) doesn't help here. 

It isn't clear what is going on there since the last posting was a while ago and subject changed significantly.

Just in case

Comment 1 Manuel Hiebel 2012-08-06 20:28:49 CEST 
can you try modprobe -r ipw2200 then modprobe ipw2200 ? (found on an arch forums topic)

Source RPM: (none) => udev

/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
has a lane
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel

To connect to existing wi-fi I had to run
# modprobe -r ipw2200
# modprobe ipw2200
reboot a computer
configure network through # drakconnect
and now it's working
