I've managed to capture the full firmware error message at boot time (many device driver error messages, such as this one, are still only printed to console not logged, which can be awkward at times like this).
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection ipw2200: ipw2200-bss.fw request_firmware failed: Reason -2 ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2 ipw2200: failed to register network device ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:03:03.0 disabled ipw2200: probe of 0000:03:03.0 failed with error -5 firmware_helper[2429]: main: error loading '/lib/firmware/ipw2200-bss.fw' for device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e/0/0000:03:03.0/firmware/0000:03:03.0' with driver '(unknown)' As you see firmware_helper is trying to load the firmware from /lib/firmware/ipw2200-bss.fw rather than its actual location of /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/ipw2200-bss.fw Hope this info helps, Nick -- ipw2200 driver fails to load firmware https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180544 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
