No. I'm aware of the iwi man page, but after I did that I got a
message in /var/log/messages complaining about the
legal.intel_ipw.license_ack variable, not the one specified in the iwi
man page.

I set the last one to 1 but I got the firmware loading problem. If
this has changed, I suppose it should be fixed in the documentation
IMHO.

Any more ideas? Any debugging hints?

Thanks in advance
