It seems like I keep coming up with obscure things that I need help
with. I must commend you jim, as you are one of the few who at least
offer guesses (and call them such) when you don't know something.
Often, your guesses at least give me something to check out (which
helps me learn more) whether they pan out or not.

*Problems with the firmware and kernel 2.6.14 to 2.6.16'*
You need to install ipw2200-firmware version 2.4 (3.0 won't work).
Mask the newer version with {{{1}}} and downgrade the firmware with
emerge --oneshot ipw2200-firmware
Knoppix is 2.6.24.4 and 2.6.25.14-108 is Fedora 9. But I wonder if they
said "to 2.6.16" because they knew it isn't a problem after 2.6.16 or
because 2.6.16 was the latest kernel available at the time they wrote it.
