Bug#356387: ipw2100 does not work anylonger



Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686
Version: 2.6.15-8
Severity: important
Hi,
I used ipw2100 wlan driver module in the past with vanilla 
kernels. Lately i switched to debian kernels. Ipw2100 is 
included in this kernel vision, same for ieee80211 stuff.
the ipw2100 module is loaded correctly, but if I try to set 
some things I get the following:

iwconfig eth1 essid any
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
    SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.

Same thing for other iwconfig options. The firmware is 
installed:
ls /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
ipw2100-1.3.fw  ipw2100-1.3-i.fw  ipw2100-1.3-p.fw  LICENSE

I dont know what happens here, it worked with 
non-debian-kernels but I want to use them. If you need 
further information or something like this, let me know.
Kind regards
Nico
