ipw2200-firmware-2.2-2.1.fc3.fr

Now the message is slightly different.

Mar 10 10:59:50 antoy kernel: ipw2200: ipw2200_ucode.fw load failed
Mar 10 10:59:54 antoy kernel: ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: 0xFFFFFFFE
Mar 10 10:59:55 antoy kernel: ipw2200: failed to register network device
Mar 10 10:59:55 antoy kernel: ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:0b.0 failed with error -5

The command lsmod shows

ipw2200                62029  0
ieee80211              19525  1 ipw2200
ieee80211_crypt         6725  1 ieee80211
