I was getting the same errors in /var/log/messages and /var/log/dmesg: "ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:05.0 failed with error -5"
I looked for the firmware in the /lib/firmware/2.6.27-2-generic directory, but it wasn't there. I went back to the /lib/firmware/2.6.24-21-generic directory and found the ipw2200 firmware files. A quick "sudo cp ipw2200* /lib/firmware/2.6.27-2-generic" and a reboot fixed the issue for me and now my wireless works again. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch) Release: 8.10 uname -a Linux overlord-mobile 2.6.27-2-generic #1 SMP Thu Aug 28 17:20:02 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux -- ipw2200 driver for Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG fails to load firmware https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261886 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
