I want to help, since I also use this driver (with no problems, fortunately...), but you didn't post versions or your emerge info. That would be helpful. :) Please post the relevant part of the dmesg (the part including the failure) along with the output of `emerge --info`.

Please attach the part of the dmesg containing the firmware load errors... There are no errors in dmesg or the system log as stated in the original description. There are about two to three known bugs on here and elsewhere related to firmware not loading either due to timeout values or due to hotplug not finding the firmware. This is not one of those. In this case dmesg reports the card loaded with no errors. However it doesn't get associated with the access point without manual intervention. Not much I can do about that without an error message... Please try ipw2200-1.0.4 to see if that corrects the issue. If not, please file a bug report upstream at http://www.bughost.org/ and add brix@gentoo.org to CC: of that bug report. Sorry... Henrix, thanks for the help. I did some more checking and it appears that the problem is that the init scripts for network and ifplugd are getting the network interface name confused and it is trying to start a wired interface as wirless and vice versa. I will raise under a new bug Cheers Paul |
