This is a bug in the 2.6.15 kernel, some of the wireless scripts use a /sys/class/net/eth0/wireless variable to detect things, so that may be one issue. Another issues is that you don't have the firmware_helper installed from udev, you have to add it in by using make EXTRAS="extras/firmware" t

I'm still using one of the 2.6.14.x kernels, but I don't think that should make any difference (and I have an ipw2100 instead of an ipw2200). When you installed hotplug, it should have made a directory /etc/hotplug and put a bunch of *.agent files in there. One of those is firmware.agent. Min
