I had the same problem today. Downloaded the firmware for ipw2200 which seems to be missing from: http://ipw2200.sf.net/firmware.php And copied the files into /lib/firmware. Then I restarted the computer (a windows habit, but I am sure there is another way, I read "rmmod ipw2200; modprobe ipw2200" but it didn't seem to work). Just switched to FC4 2 days ago. After that I had my wireless connection working. The error message I had was nearly identical to the one you are showing us. Hope this will work for you to, Otto --- Ed Landaveri <ed7tux@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I can't make the wireless connection in my laptop > eventhough it seems to be detected here is the dmesg > for the wireless adapter: > Unkown parameter `irq` > ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network > Driver, 0.13 > ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation > ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network > Connection > ipw2200: ipw2200_boot.fw load failed > ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: 0xFFFFFFFE > ipw2200: failed to register network device > ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:04.0 failed with error -5 > > The device is listed under > system-config-network->hardware tab as eth1 but no on > the devices. > > If I try to edit the device on the hardware tab > assigning the right irq 5 and mem fafef000-fafeffff > range this is what I get: > > ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:04.0[A] -> GSI 7 (level, > low) -> IRQ 7 > ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network > Connection > ipw2200: ipw2200_boot.fw load failed > ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: 0xFFFFFFFE > ipw2200: failed to register network device > ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:04.0 failed with error -5 > > Any help with this will be appreciatte it.
