[gobolinux-users] IPW2200 unable to load firmware; firmware package is installed

[Anshuman Aggarwal]

Forgot the basics...I am on kernel version 2.6.21.1 but this hasn't 
worked with any previous version yet on Gobolinux but I never spent much 
time on it to get it working so far...
Also, it works with Gentoo and Ubuntu and I compile my own kernel for 
Gentoo and it has worked for me so far....

I also created these symlinks:
ls -l /etc/firmware
lrwxrwxrwx 1 boss root 32 2007-08-18 12:38 /etc/firmware -> 
/System/Links/Libraries/firmware

ls -l /System/Links/Libraries/firmware
lrwxrwxrwx 1 boss root 43 2007-08-15 22:17 
/System/Links/Libraries/firmware -> 
/Programs/IPW2200-Firmware/3.0/lib/firmware
