Package: ipw2100-modules-2.6-686 Version: 2.6.18-4+etch1 All the ipw2100-modules-* package descriptions in Etch don't say that the Intel Firmware is required to get these chipsets to work. I suggest they instead say:
'The Debian 4.0/Etch 2.6.18 kernel includes version 1.1.0(?) of these modules. This is version 1.2.1. you only need Install this if you want this newer version of the driver than the version included in the kernel. Once installed it will be automatically used instead. To see what the difference is between versions see http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/#news. To use either version you need to download and install the Intel firmware from http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/firmware.php.'
