| using the iwi driver (Intel IPW2200BG, with the apropriate sysctl eula 
enabled) i get the following error in dmesg:

| iwi0: could not cache the firmware
| iwi0: cannot assign link-local address
| iwi0: timeout waiting for ucode to initialize
| iwi0: could not load microcode
| iwi0: cannot assign link-local address
| iwi0: timeout waiting for firmware initialization to complete
| iwi0: could not load main firmware

All the Intel drivers have this problem since August 14 or so. My card
[iwn] works after though..
