I just built the ipw2100 module under etch according to http://blogs.cocoondev.org/michaelm/archives/002084.html everything seemed to go fine, and when I tweak /etc/network/interfaces I can
# modprobe ipw2100 # ifup eth2 and dhcp etc works fine (eth0 = built in ethernet, eth1 = ip-over-firewire) I'm trying to figure out how to load the module automatically at boot time. I added 'ipw2100' to /etc/modules and rebooted, and I get this error: hypnotoad:/home/rasputnik# dmesg|grep ipw ipw2100: no version for "ieee80211_get_crypto_ops" found: kernel tainted. ipw2100: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver, 1.1.2 ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2005 Intel Corporation ipw2100: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection ipw2100: eth0: Firmware 'ipw2100-1.3.fw' not available or load failed. ipw2100: eth0: ipw2100_get_firmware failed: -2 ipw2100: eth0: Failed to power on the adapter. ipw2100: eth0: Failed to start the firmware. ipw2100Error calling register_netdev. ipw2100: probe of 0000:01:05.0 failed with error -5 (After i login a 'modprobe ipw2100; ifup eth2' outputs this to dmesg : ipw2100: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver, 1.1.2 ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2005 Intel Corporation ipw2100: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection ) Couple of reasons this could happen spring to mind 1. eth0 isn't a wireless interface (though not sure why that works in multi-user) 2. /usr isn't mounted when modprobe runs 3. I have something back-asswards ... What's the 'Debian Way' to load ipw2100 modules? Thanks.
