Not anymore. 2.6.15_2054 was a 2.6.16rc something kernel which needed
lots of special handling (it lies about being a 2.6.15 kernel and many
kernel version based tests fail).

Moreover there have been several security related kernel updates
issued by Red Hat. Due to security considerations, but mainly due to
storage and build system performance capacities, ATrpms only supports
the latest 1-2 kernels by Red Hat (and Red Hat does the same :)

Please upgrade to the latest kernel first (2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 as of
now) and then install ipw2200 and ipw2200-kmdl-<uname -r>, where
<uname -r> is probably simply 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5, but can be
2.6.16-1.2122_FC5xen0 or 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5smp dependeing on what
kernel you chose to run.

Remember to "reinstall" ipw2200-kmdl-<uname -r> whenever your <uname
-r> changes, e.g. on every kernel update.
