Binary package hint: linux-firmware

I have a previously working jaunty install on an IBM/Lenovo X31 with
linux-firmware-1.11 and linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic. After boot the
wireless network card does not work and the kernel reports:

$ dmesg | grep 2100 | cut -f2 -d]

Press Fn-F5 twice to reset the wireless card causes the kernel to print the 
same message. Reloading the module causes a new error:
$ sudo rmmod ipw2100 && sudo modprobe -v ipw2100    
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat, it will be 
ignored in a future release.

(Since I can't reload the module, I haven't tried `echo 100 >
/sys/class/firmware/timeout` - if that's worth trying please tell me
which startup script I should add it to.)

Thank you!
