Description JL Boers 2005-08-25 20:31:46 UTC 
clean install of beta 3. ipw2200 nic cannot be configured. ipw-firmware missing
from installation. added ipw-firmware-5.6 from ftp.suse.com . no help.

below are some relevant error messages found in dmesg.

dmesg | grep hotplug

Probably duplicate of 112915
Comment 2 Joachim Gleissner 2005-08-26 08:13:06 UTC 
Yes, firmware hotplug is broken in beta3. Don't know if there is a fixed 
package available yet.
