Public bug reported:
Today I upgraded my Hardy installation and it upgraded 2.6.22-14-generic
kernel to 2.6.24-2-386 and my wireless network stopped working.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a
Linux wing 2.6.24-2-386 #1 Thu Dec 20 16:56:01 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dmesg | grep ipw

No wonder... There is no ipw2200 firmware for 2.6.24-2-386 only for
2.6.24-2-generic
