Wireless on Thinkpad X31

[Antonio]

Hi all.

I acquired recently a IBM Thinkpad X31 (802.11b only), but although
the ipw2100 driver loads I cannot get it to work.

Output at /var/log/messages after re-loading the module:
---------------------------------------

I'm running Debian Etch 2.6.15 "out of the box".

Thanks,

Thanks Greg.
Putting the firmware files in /lib/firmware solved my problem. I think
is because it is proprietary content.
