What wireless card do you have?
as root
| Code: | lspci | grep "Network"

Did you emerge net-wireless/ipw2100-firmware? |

FWIW, I have the same problem.
Tried ipw2100 and ieee80211 compiled in, and now as modules.
The firmware is located in /lib/firmware/ and /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent
points exactly there.
modprobe ipw2100 takes about 60 seconds, finally inserting the driver,
but leaving the message of post#1 in the syslog. Of course, the device does not
work.
Don't know if it's related, but interrupts seem to pile on #10:
| Code: |
# cat /proc/interrupts
CPU0
0: 1014275 XT-PIC timer
1: 3136 XT-PIC i8042
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
5: 133802 XT-PIC uhci_hcd:usb3, eth0
10: 234680 XT-PIC ohci1394, ehci_hcd:usb1, uhci_hcd:usb2, uhci_hcd:usb4, Intel 82801DB-ICH4, yenta, yenta, radeon@pci:0000:01:00.0
12: 620 XT-PIC i8042
14: 21739 XT-PIC ide0
15: 35277 XT-PIC ide1
|
I tried acpi=noirq and acpi=off, to see if it changed something, but it didn't.
I tried different versions of hotplug (latest: 20040923-r1), udev (077-r1) and
kernel (2.6.15-rc5), nothing helped.
Also, we are not alone:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-404378.html
What's going on?
Does anybody have the ipw2100 driver that's shipped in a
kernel >=2.6.14 up and running *at all* ??
Bones and hints very much appreciated!!

I have the exact same problem. I have the firmware in the right location. It seems the module tries to load the firmware until it reaches a timeout.
Running gentoo-sources-r4 ieee80211 built in, ipw2100 as module.
Dmesg:
