[Bug 39611] ipw2200 - firmware error detected

[leonbottou]

Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
I just upgraded from breezy to dapper.
The current kernel is 2.6.15-20.
I had lots of problems with ipw2200.
Lots of spurious disassociations.
Lots of error messages:
  ipw2200: firmware error detected. Restarting.

This is simply *unusable*.

After a few hours of trials and errors, I installed 
ieee80211-1.1.13 and ipw2200-1.1.2 (m)
from the respective sourceforge sites.
These modules work for me.
No more disassociation.

- L.


P.S.
Fujitsu-Siemens P7010.
Wireless is Intel 2915abg
It was working fine with breezy (kernel 2.6.12).
