 | >Description:
 | 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..
