With CONFIG_IPW2200=y I get:

ipw2200: ipw-2.2-boot.fw load failed: Reason -2
ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: 0xFFFFFFFE

but with CONFIG_IPW2200=m it works fine. If it doesn't work when built into the kernel, why even give people the option?

BTW, a better error message than "Reason -2" would be nice. =)
