Package: hotplug Version: 0.0.20040329-17 Severity: normal I've been using ipw2200 successfully with the previous hotplug version, 0.0.20040329-16. Following a dist-upgrade, my hotplug was upgraded to 0.0.20040329-17, and after the next reboot, my ipw2200 wireless driver could no longer get its firmware loaded (via hotplug). Reverting to hotplug version 0.0.20040329-16 (and making no other changes to my configuration) caused the problem to go away.
Lines logged in /var/log/kern.log as follows (for the broken case): Feb 28 22:31:38 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.0 Feb 28 22:31:38 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation Feb 28 22:31:38 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:06.0[A] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10 Feb 28 22:31:38 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection Feb 28 22:31:48 localhost kernel: ipw2200: ipw-2.2-boot.fw load failed: Reason -2 Feb 28 22:31:48 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: 0xFFFFFFFE Feb 28 22:31:48 localhost kernel: ipw2200: failed to register network device Feb 28 22:31:48 localhost kernel: ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:06.0 failed with error -5 Of course, it may be that the bug is in ipw2200 or somewhere else. I've built ipw2200 from the debian package ipw2200-source, version 1.0.0-1, running on standard Debian kernel image 2.6.8-1-686. For reference, when it works (using the previous hotplug), I get this logged: Feb 28 22:36:23 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.0 Feb 28 22:36:23 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation Feb 28 22:36:23 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:06.0[A] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10 Feb 28 22:36:23 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection Also, I certainly have the right firmware files is the right place: $ pwd /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware $ ls ipw-2.2-boot.fw ipw-2.2-bss_ucode.fw ipw-2.2-ibss_ucode.fw ipw-2.2-bss.fw ipw-2.2-ibss.fw Ah, is it possible that having these as symlinks could cause a problem for hotplug? As you can see below, I have them all symlink'd into /usr/local.
