What happens if you unload and then reload the module? It does the same, i.e. fails in the same way with the same log message. The changes to firmware.agent between the two versions are very simple, can you also check what happens if you use -17 with the firmware.agent file from -16? OK, this makes no difference. Using the older firmware.agent with the newer hotplug fails in the same way. Are you using udev? Yes, using udev. Does this help to explain it? cheers, Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I commented out the following line from /etc/init.d/udev echo /sbin/udevsend /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug So, everything works again for me, and I'm happy. Thanks for your help. Is this then a bug in udev (for which I see you are also the Debian maintainer)? Is there anything else you need from me? cheers, Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#297481: hotplug: Fails to load firmware for ipw2200 after upgrade
Package: hotplug Version: 0.0.20040329-17 Severity: normal I've been using ipw2200 successfully with the previous hotplug version, 0.0.20040329-16. Following a dist-upgrade, my hotplug was upgraded to 0.0.20040329-17, and after the next reboot, my ipw2200 wireless driver could no longer get its firmware loaded (via hotplug). Reverting to hotplug version 0.0.20040329-16 (and making no other changes to my configuration) caused the problem to go away. Lines logged in /var/log/kern.log as follows (for the broken case): Feb 28 22:31:38 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.0 Feb 28 22:31:38 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation Feb 28 22:31:38 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt :02:06.0[A] - GSI 10 (level, low) - IRQ 10 Feb 28 22:31:38 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection Feb 28 22:31:48 localhost kernel: ipw2200: ipw-2.2-boot.fw load failed: Reason -2 Feb 28 22:31:48 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: 0xFFFE Feb 28 22:31:48 localhost kernel: ipw2200: failed to register network device Feb 28 22:31:48 localhost kernel: ipw2200: probe of :02:06.0 failed with error -5 Of course, it may be that the bug is in ipw2200 or somewhere else. I've built ipw2200 from the debian package ipw2200-source, version 1.0.0-1, running on standard Debian kernel image 2.6.8-1-686. For reference, when it works (using the previous hotplug), I get this logged: Feb 28 22:36:23 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.0 Feb 28 22:36:23 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation Feb 28 22:36:23 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt :02:06.0[A] - GSI 10 (level, low) - IRQ 10 Feb 28 22:36:23 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection Also, I certainly have the right firmware files is the right place: $ pwd /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware $ ls ipw-2.2-boot.fw ipw-2.2-bss_ucode.fw ipw-2.2-ibss_ucode.fw ipw-2.2-bss.fw ipw-2.2-ibss.fw Ah, is it possible that having these as symlinks could cause a problem for hotplug?
