Hi, I have CentOS4.1 up to date and I get on boot: ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection divert: allocating divert_blk for eth1 ipw2200: ipw-2.2-boot.fw load failed: Reason -2 ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: 0xFFFFFFFE divert: freeing divert_blk for eth1 ipw2200: failed to register network device ipw2200: probe of 0000:03:03.0 failed with error -5 My understanding from RedHat is that the current update includes ipw2200 v1.0.4. I have googled around, and cannot find a decent howto. Any suggestion? -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com
