Re: Intel ipw2200 firmware strangeness

[Mickael Royer <mickael.royer@gmail.com>]

Hi,

The kernel 2.6.14.2 contains ipw2200 1.0.0. This version works with ipw-2.2 firmware and ubuntu provides only ipw-2.3.
The solution :

• download ipw-2.2 at http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php
• copy the firmware in the good directory (/lib/hotplug/firmware or /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/, I do not remember)

Hey.

I just bought a new laptop and I'm running Ubuntu 5.10 on it with the
latest kernel 2.6.14.2. The laptop is a MSI megabook s260 with the
centrino plattform and a Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG (rev 05) wlan card.
My computer detects the card just fine, but it loads the wrong firmware.
I get this when i boot the computer up:

/ipw2200: ipw-2.2-boot.fw load failed: Reason -2
ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: 0xFFFFFFFE
/
So, I thought that it would work fine if I just installed a new firmware
(ipw-2.3) and placed it in /lib/hotplug/firmware/ but the 2.3-firmware
obiously doesn't load.

So my question is; where should i put the firmware so that hotplug can
load it properly?

Thanks in advance.
