using net-wireless/ipw2200-1.0.0 and net-wireless/ipw2200-firmware-2.2 emerged both fine, then tried to 'modprobe ipw2200' and receive the following errors: WARNING: Error inserting firmware_class (/lib/modules/2.6.10/kernel/drivers/base/firmware_class.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) FATAL: Error inserting ipw2200 (/lib/modules/2.6.10/net/ipw2200.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) dmesg returns this: firmware_class: Unknown symbol module_refcount ipw2200: Unknown symbol release_firmware ipw2200: Unknown symbol request_firmware I *think* that the ipw2200 driver is being prevented from being loaded since the firmware is not loading properly. No clue how to fix this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. modprobe ipw2200 2. 3. Actual Results: The module is prevented from being loaded because of problems with firmware. Expected Results: Load nicely and allow me to get on to my wireless network.
