Ok, after the reboot, the driver failed to load because of missing firmware...

At this point the card started up fine and I was able to connect to my WPA2 authenticated access point with out any problems. I'm not sure if I should be using that version of the firmware, but as long as this bug goes away, I really don't care. I will keep an eye out for the "Fatal Interrupt" error and report whether or not the problem persists. -Rick -- ipw2100 - "Fatal interrupt.
