[PlanetCCRMA] Wireless in FC4 -- Is it the Kernel?

[Robert Jonkman]

I've finally got my wireless running--well sort of.  If I boot up with 
the default FC4 kernel, it works fine, however using the planet kernel, 
the ipw2200 fails to load.  Do I have to recompile the kernel to add 
wirelesss support?  I have kernel version 2.6.12-0.21.rdt.rhfc4.ccrma, 
this is the one that won't load the firmware. 

This is from my dmegs log file.
Oct 27 18:25:18 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 
2200BG Network Connection
Oct 27 18:25:18 localhost kernel: ipw2200: ipw2200_boot.fw load failed
Oct 27 18:25:18 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: 
0xFFFFFFFE
Oct 27 18:25:18 localhost kernel: ipw2200: failed to register network device
Oct 27 18:25:18 localhost kernel: ipw2200: probe of 0000:01:05.0 failed 
with error -5

I googled and found this:
http://bughost.org/bugzilla/long_list.cgi?buglist=601

It's suggested that the problem is a timeout issue when trying to load 
the driver.  Anyways I tried their suggestion:

echo 100 > /sys/class/firmware/timeout

..but that never fixed the problem.  I'm so happy that I'm able to use 
my wireless card at all, I'd just like to use with a planet kernel.
