ipw2200 recognized as wired connection

["Ma Begaj" <derliebegott gmail com>]

Hi,

I am trying to use network-manager on my Slackware. Everything looks
ok, but my Intel ipw2200 is being recognized as a cable connection.

Right click on network-manager shows three options (my translation from german):
- Activate network
- Connection information
- Info

Left click on the icon shows only one option:
- Wired network

No VPNC (vpnc installed in $prefix=/usr), no Wireless Access Points ... :(

When I start NetworkManager --no-daemon, this is what I get:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NetworkManager: <information>   starting...
NetworkManager: <information>   eth0: Device is fully-supported using
driver '(null)'.

NetworkManager: <information>   Activation (eth0) Finish handler scheduled.
NetworkManager: <information>   Activation (eth0) Stage 5 of 5 (IP

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NetworkManager connects to my home and & work Access Points (dhcp)
because the configurations for these connections are already set in
wpa_supplicant.conf, but I am not able to see access points or
anything else.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.
