Wireless ipw2200 activation
hello !

i am trying to activate my wireless network card on my laptop currently running :
2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 , but an error msg appears "ipw2200 device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization." the same msg also appears at the start up process, when trying to bring up eth1.

Everything seems to be in order for ipw2200 ,drivers modules , firmware, some ieee drivers required for ipw2200, all installed - prepared.

Thx in advance.

ipw2200: ipw2200-bss.fw request_firmware failed: Reason -2
ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2

dmesg ofc !
i just checked and finally figured out what the problem is!
as it seems something gone wrong at the firmware installation.
so firmware re-installation ! - and let's pray that will be all ! -
Thx alot !!
