I reinstalled Ubuntu and afterward the adapter would work at start-up, then eventually fail:
$ dmesg | grep 2100 [ 13.434479] ipw2100 0000:02:02.0: firmware: requesting ipw2100-1.3.fw [ 8306.362158] ipw2100: IRQ INTA == 0xFFFFFFFF ...

[ 8307.176470] ipw2100: eth1: Failed to start the firmware. After using the new install for two weeks, the adapter now fails on boot the same way described previously.
