Details

I upgraded to the latest kernel from testing this morning (3/31) and upon reboot I have no wireless extensions. Doing a modprobe ipw2200 does not give an error but likewise iwconfig shows no wireless extensions.

[root@archer ~]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

sit0 no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.


Interestingly, lsmod shows both ipw2200 and ieee80211:

[root@archer ~]# lsmod | grep ieee
ieee80211 32968 1 ipw2200
ieee80211_crypt 5120 1 ieee80211
[root@archer ~]# lsmod | grep ipw2200
ipw2200 100284 0
ieee80211 32968 1 ipw2200

Kernel26 is my only package from testing.
This task depends upon

One additional piece of added info is this output from dmesg | grep ipw2200:
