Wireless on Thinkpad X31

["Antonio Rafael C. Paiva" <arpaiva@cnel.ufl.edu>]

Hi all.

I acquired recently a IBM Thinkpad X31 (802.11b only), but although
the ipw2100 driver loads I cannot get it to work.

Output at /var/log/messages after re-loading the module:
---------------------------------------

I'm running Debian Etch 2.6.15 "out of the box".

Thanks,
