Comment 1 Henrik Brix Andersen 2005-11-18 08:50:45 UTC

Please try `emerge ieee80211 ipw2200` and retry the modprobe.

Comment 2 Andrew McConaghy 2005-11-18 08:52:27 UTC

ieee80211 and ipw2200 are both freshly installed.

Comment 3 Henrik Brix Andersen 2005-11-18 09:26:26 UTC

Please do as asked if you want any help.

process. same error.

Comment 5 Andrew McConaghy 2005-11-18 09:28:20 UTC

I did.  Same error.  I tried reinstalling the kernel and repeating the entire
process. same error.

Comment 6 Andre Hinrichs 2005-11-18 09:32:23 UTC

Same here with vanilla-sources-2.6.14
Nevertheless, the network is working on my system.

Comment 7 Andrew McConaghy 2005-11-18 09:36:06 UTC

what is the result on your system of grep `escape_essid /proc/kallsysms`?

Comment 8 Henrik Brix Andersen 2005-11-18 09:38:18 UTC

Please try unloading all the ipw2x00 and ieee80211 modules (or reboot), then
reload ipw2200.

If that doesn't work, please attach the full output of `emerge -v ieee80211
ipw2200` along with your kernel .config file.
