I see this before, after update hotplug I get the same error, and after udev update (overwrite hotplug) all works again. Regards, ./nelson -murilo >I didn't upgrade the kernel and i have hotplug 0.0.20040329-22 and udev >0.056-3. I think the firmware version is correct, i deleted the firmware > and got the same message in syslog (ipw-2.4-boot.fw load failed: Reason >-2).
