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".
