Hey Greg, Please see bug #65059 concerning the problem with ipw2100/ipw2200, and i can confirm the same problem with my prism54 driven card. Downgrading to 026 indeed makes the card work again. I can get you my dmesg output if you'd like, but basically it's "prism54: triggering upload of firmware; prism54: firmware upload failed". What all changed?

Huh? Why was this marked as a duplicate of bug #65059?
Reopening since bug #65059 deals with a totally different issue.
Hi I am a 2200BG user, I too had problems loading the ipw2200 drivers and udev-0.38, checking dmesg and the logs of past emerges the only possible culprint was udev so I downgrade to my previous version (0.35) and the cards works again. In 0.38 the cards takes a while to try to load and fails, with an error: Oct 18 17:09:32 [kernel] ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 0.11 Oct 18 17:09:32 [kernel] ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation Oct 18 17:09:32 [kernel] ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:0b.0[A] -> GSI 9 (level, low) -> IRQ 9 Oct 18 17:09:32 [kernel] ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection Oct 18 17:09:42 [kernel] ipw2200: ipw2200_boot.fw load failed Oct 18 17:09:42 [kernel] ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: 0xFFFFFFFE Oct 18 17:09:42 [kernel] ipw2200: failed to register network device Oct 18 17:09:42 [kernel] ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:0b.0 failed with error -5 Oct 18 17:09:43 [wait_for_sysfs] either wait_for_sysfs (udev 038) needs an update to handle the device '/class/firmware/0000:02:0b.0' properly (4) or the sysfs-support of your device's driver needs to be fixed, please report to <linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> So I think it is conclusive that udev-0.38 is having problems with this card.
The ChangeLog claims that udev-040 fixes this issue. Please confirm.
Should be fixed now.
I can confirm that udev 40 solves this issue
