Public bug reported: I think I've hit a different issue in the ipw2200 driver that comes with intrepid. All of the other bugs I've read here seem to document various firmware issues. I am not receiving any firmware related errors in dmesg. Recently, my ipw2200 box takes almost exactly 100 seconds to bring up link. Once the link comes up, the connection performs fine and is reasonably reliable. The machine has a wired eth0 and a wireless eth1.
The machine in question is a media PC that has eth1 statically configured for my home wireless network and eth0 set to manual configuration (and unused). Note the very long delay at the end: r...@khadgar:~# dmesg | egrep 'ipw|eth' [ 3.792162] forcedeth: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.61.
