I have made a system based on the lfs-book. Then I added net-tools, wireless_tools.
Now I try to install the ipw2200 driver for my wireless card, but it fail. My current configuration is: kernel 2.6.12.4 ieee80211 1.0.2 ipw2200 1.0.6 My second linux distribution is Debian testing, and with this configuration it works fine. Before compiling the ipw2200 driver i looked in the /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent file and get the FIRMWARE directory: /lib/firmware. So I copied the files in this location. When I reboot the dmesg says: ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.6 ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:03.0[A] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 5 (level, low) -> IRQ 5 ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection ipw2200: ipw-2.3-boot.fw load failed: Reason -2 ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: 0xFFFFFFFE ipw2200: failed to register network device ipw2200: probe of 0000:01:03.0 failed with error -5 I don't understand why it works on my Debian System and with the same configuration (kernel config file, and programm versions) on my new build lfs system it fails. _Guenther
