It does not indicate it is limited to only Centrino products, however. My question: Will this card work with his Inspiron 2200 that has a Celeron processor? Ed

The card will work in the Inspiron 2200. Unfortunately, Intel's cards are not a good choice due to driver problems which Intel won't fix. Suggest you recommend some other card (any other card).

I personally have had excellent experience with the Intel card (including the one in the machine on which I am typing this). Tom

The only time I've had trouble with my 2200BG was in Gentoo Linux (although it works well in Fedora). In Windows the card works fine, and the range is very reasonable surpasses my older 5V Orinoco card.
