Hi can anyone help me resolve this problem. I'm running kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.16-gentoo-r9. I've built in support for the ipw2200 driver and installed fimrware image ipw2200-firmware-2.4 as the forums say the latest firmware image is not supported with my kernel version. I've got problems ... when I try and install. wireless-tools installs OK but no interface is present when running iwconfig. I get the following error on dmesg.
# dmesg | grep ipw
ipw2200: no version for "ieee80211_wx_get_encodeext" found: kernel tainted.
ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.1.3mprq
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
ipw2200: ipw2200-bss.fw request_firmware failed: Reason -2
ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2
ipw2200: failed to register network device
ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:04.0 failed with error -5
How do I check that ieee80211 is installed correctly in my kernel (not as a module I assume since ipw2200 is installed). any other tips would be really appreciated as I've been trying to figure this out for ages.
Thanks, Richard
