[Bug 55532] Re: ipw2200 not working: "Failed to send TX_POWER"

[Greg Taylor]

It seems that running without encryption does help the problem, although
doesn't eliminate it.

Notice the "Firmware error detected." It doesn't look like the TX_POWER
thing is still there without WEP/WAP, but there is still intermittent
connection dropping

This log output is with lapic and irqpoll.
