mandriva and wifi

hi,

i installed mandriva 07 on a laptop and it works fine. my only problem is to get the wifi to work. i understand that in the commercial releases the drivers are prepackaged with an easy installer.

my internal wifi chipset is the intel 2200bg. i found the drivers at http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net

the weird thing about mandriva is that it has a lot of built-in wifi utilities and connectivity software like windows except even the ifconfig command is not found...wierd.

anyone else had any luck with mandriva and wifi?
