Can you load the firmware_class module? The ipw2100 module seems to depend on it now to load the firmware: $ lsmod | grep ipw2100 ipw2100 117988 0 ieee80211 31432 1 ipw2100 firmware_class 9728 2 pcmcia,ipw2100 I am using Debian Sid, i386, kernel 2.6.22 compiled from Debian sources. I have the exact same lspci output for my Intel wireless card and it works without problems for me. I do use udev, though.
