ipw2100 + Acer TM 291 firmware not found

[Dismember]

Hi,

ich habe in meinem Kernel (2.6.15.3) die Module ipw2100 und fw_loader einkompiliert. Beim Starten des Systems kommt jedoch folgende Fehlermeldung:



ipw2100: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver, 1.1.3
ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2005 Intel Corporation
ipw2100: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection
ipw2100: eth1: Firmware 'ipw2100-1.3.fw' not available or load failed.
ipw2100: eth1: ipw2100_get_firmware failed: -2
ipw2100: eth1: Failed to power on the adapter.
ipw2100: eth1: Failed to start the firmware.
ipw2100Error calling register_netdev.
ipw2100: probe of 0000:01:02.0 failed with error -5


Die Firmware hab ich mir von der Seite http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/firmware.php (firmware v.1.3) geholt und nach /etc/firmware und /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware und /lib/firmware kopiert.
Warum wird die Firmware trotzdem nicht gefunden. Bzw. was mache ich falsch?

Thx

Hallo

Habe folgendes gefunden: http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/


In some kernel configurations (users have most frequently reported the problem only with 2.6.9), the default timeout value for the hotplug subsystem is too low. You may have this problem if you see the following in your kernel log (via dmesg or /var/log/messages):


ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation
ipw2100: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection
ipw2100: eth1: Firmware 'ipw2100-1.3.fw' not available or load failed.
ipw2100: eth1: ipw2100_get_firmware failed: -2
ipw2100: eth1: Failed to power on the adapter.
ipw2100: eth1: Failed to start the firmware.
ipw2100Error calling regiser_netdev.
ipw2100: probe of 0000:02:02.0 failed with error -5

To work around this, you can increase the default timeout value:


echo 100 > /sys/class/firmware/timeout

and then reload the ipw2100 module. If this corrects your problem, you may wish to add the above line to your system startup scripts prior to the point at which the driver module would be loaded.

The other most common reason for getting the above error is that the firmware files are not installed in the correct location. Please see the INSTALL document for information on installing the firmware files.

Vielleicht hilft es Dir weiter, auch wenn das Problem dort von einen 2.6.9-er redet.

Grüsse
S.
