Bug#383629: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686: ipw2200 module cannot load its firmware

Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686
Version: 2.6.17-6
Severity: normal


When I run 'modprobe ipw2200' I have this output in /var/log/messages:

ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, git-1.1.1
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation

The ipw2200 firmware 3.0  is installed in /lib/firmware and it was
working with linux-image-2.6.17-1-686.

Bug#383629: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686: ipw2200 module cannot load its firmware

 The ipw2200 firmware 3.0  is installed in /lib/firmware and it was
 working with linux-image-2.6.17-1-686.

More clues:
I'm using udev 0.097-1 and firmware is loaded if you follow these two steps:
apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.17-2-686
apt-get install --reinstall udev

It may be an udev bug more than a linux-image bug.
