*** Bug 80956 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 80958 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Do you have CONFIG_MODULE and CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD set in your /usr/src/linux/.config? Please post the output of 'grep MODULE /usr/src/linux/.config' to this bug report. Yes, they are both set. I can load/unload modules. Now, sometimes the firmware will load fine and others I'll get the same error as before (have not pinpointed what is causing the failure). However, when the firmware does load correctly, I cannot use WEP encryption. Wireless works fine when I do not need a WEP key. When I try to use a WEP key, all network-related commands lock up and I get zombie processes. Commands like 'iwconfig' and 'ifconfig' lockup. Even a ctrl+c will not get the prompt back. As I said, though, this is about a 50% occurring event. Sometimes I still cannot load the ipw2200 driver. 1# grep MODULE /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_MODULES=y CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y # CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD is not set # CONFIG_MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL is not set 2# Reporter, please see if net-wireless/ipw2200-1.0.3 fixes this issue. Sorry about the delay, but yes, I have emerged ipw2200-1.0.3 and the problem I mentioned before is now non-existent.
