That seems to point to the problem. It cannot read/get the firmware.

Then it renames the interface...

And here seems to fail also. How weird :-?

Have you tried to reload both modules? I.e.:

modprobe -r tg3 && modprobe tg3
modprobe -r ipw2100 && modprobe ipw2100

(do not do this if you are connected remotely via ssh and be careful, this 
can lead to a computer hang, so be prepared...)
