Hi all, I was experiencing the "ipw2200: firmware error detected..." error on my laptop / xubuntu 9.04 with network disconnect every 3-5 mn.
I Think I have solved the (or at least my) problem. Here are the steps I followed: 1. I downloaded the latest ipw2200 firmware from the sourceforge web site (don't remember the link) -> KO 2. set "options ipw2200 hwcrypto=1 associate=0 " in /etc/modprobe.d/ipw2200 -> KO 3. upgraded to Karmik (Linux Quark 2.6.31-11-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 2 11:55:55 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux) ->KO 4. noticed a kernel warning stating to add "pci=assign-busses" for yenta module (may be not relevant but is part of the updates I made) -> KO 5. on comment #20 of post https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/331103 someone stated that the issue is not present on Linux Mint. I downloaded the last livecd (7.0 XFCE CE) and giave it a try. I noticed that they were using "WICD" network manager instead of "network-manager" present on xubuntu. I reverted back to xubuntu and installed WICD (synaptic proposed to remove network-manager which I approved ;-) ). I set WICD and rebooted my laptop. -> OK I haven't experienced any disconnection since then. Neither with deluge bittorrent nor usual ftp downloads went wrong (I usually test using xubuntu iso) Hope the problem is now solved. I'll see in a week... -- ipw2200: Firmware error detected.
