Thanks for all of you who replied. Unfortunately none of the
recommendations worked but if you don't mind I would like to get more of
your advice.
1. How can I track which file is attempted to be loaded to the firmware
when modprobe is performed. Obviously, strace modprobe ipw2200 does not
do the job.
2. In the INSTALL document of ipw2200 (taken from the generic package)
is an explenation about sysfs which should be mounted. It seems to me it
is mounted by default even though it is not in mtab (can't see it in df
unless you are in /sys and do df .) Is this case good enough for loading
the firmware?

Hi all,
I did as in:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Gentoo_on_Fujitsu-Siemens_S7020#Onboard_Wireless
and when I do:
modprobe ipw2200
I get the following message in dmesg:
ipw2200: ipw2200-bss.fw request_firmware failed: Reason -2
ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2
ipw2200: failed to register network device
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:06:05.0 disabled
ipw2200: probe of 0000:06:05.0 failed with error -5
Any idea?
