Same here, this appears to be an initscript problem but its too early in the bootprocess to be able to log to a file. The only way to debug appears to be serial console. Incidentally, since the request_firmware () function in the driver is returning -ENOENT, that means that the firmware hotplug script cannot find the firmware file. However, on my machine the firmware file is in the correct place (/lib/firmware). Bill Nottingham (initscript maintainer) is aware of the issue, not sure how much progress he's been making on debugging it though. A bunch of us here at the office are experiencing this problem though on both ipw2100 and ipw2200.
