/**** ATTENTION ****
I believe this issue is specific to the error that a chipset that is not
802.11G capable will return when it picks up an a beacon from a router that is
not mixed-mode, but 802.11G specific. Please verify. Remove mixed-mode from
your G routers, and see if you can get this repeated. Then add back mix mode
and see if it goes away and if you're connected with 802.11B.

[ Current Status ]
The ipw2100 driver was last updated on 2007-01-31. That tarball release
contained an issues file that described this particular bug:
Firmware restart is detected randomly
----------------------------------
After running one or two days, Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection
driver will only occasionally restart the firmware.
"ipw2100: Fatal interrupt. Scheduling firmware restart"
To resolve this problem, the system must be rebooted.
Defect #329
[ Original Description ]
Since I've upgrade to Breezy, ipw2100 driver no longer works and in dmesg I've
got plenty
"Fatal interrupt. Scheduling firmware restart."
I'm always able to do an iwlist :
% sudo iwlist eth1 scanning
eth1 Scan completed :
...
Cell 02 - Address: 00:07:CB:51:65:E0
ESSID:"gaspard"
Protocol:IEEE 802.11b
Mode:Master
Channel:11
Encryption key:on
Bit Rate:11 Mb/s
Extra: Rates (Mb/s): 1 2 5.5 11
Quality=92/100 Signal level=-36 dBm
Extra: Last beacon: 31ms ago
But the card no longer register. It stays "unassociated" whatever I've
tried :
% sudo iwconfig eth1 essid gaspard key open XXXXXXXXXX mode auto
% sudo iwconfig eth1
eth1 unassociated ESSID:"gaspard" Nickname:"ipw2100"
Mode:Managed Channel=0 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Bit Rate=0 kb/s Tx-Power:off
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:4D7E-7ED3-1D Security mode:open
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Sometimes, it works for a short time and after half an hour or an hour, it crash
again.
I've tried to upgrade ipw2100 and the firmware. No way.
