Dell Latitude D610, FC5, happens at least since 2.6.18-rc2 and
it's fully reproducable. Sorry for not reporting earlier but I've been
recently either on vacation or very busy...
Booting with AC always makes interface eth1 appear:

Booting without AC always fails to load firmware:

A post-boot modprobe -r ipw2200; modprobe ipw2200 makes eth1
appear even on battery power:

The above log snippets are from 2.6.18-rc4 kernels; full boot logs
from both cases attached.
