Hi Folks,

I've been having problems with my ipw2200 wireless on an Inspiron 9300 laptop since upgrading to Hardy. Have searched forums and Launchpad and can't seem to locate one, clear answer.

Right now, I'm running Hardy with the latest updates using Wicd. I have another laptop running the same that uses a Broadcom card and it's working perfectly.

I can connect using the IPW2200, but it's really slow.

eric@poe:~$ dmesg | grep ipw
[ 13.991491] ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.2.2kmprq

Seems like there's a firmware issue. I'll attach my log files as requested by the Kernel Team.
