Ipw2200 problem in Fedora 8

[Eason Mai]

Hi,

When I remove the ipw2200-firmware,install it again, and verify ipw2200-firmware, it show me:
#rpm -e ipw2200-firmware-3.0-9
#yum -y install ipw2200-firmware
#rpm -V ipw2200-firmware-3.0-9
(no message)

But when I reinstalled the ipw2200 module, it showed me:
#rmmod ipw2200
#modprobe ipw2200
#tail -f /var/log/messages
.....
Apr 29 10:19:58 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.2.2kmprq

.....

And run dmesg, it shows:
#dmesg|grep ipw2200
ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.2.2kmprq

ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2
ipw2200: failed to register network device
ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:02.0 failed with error -5

Any idea? Thanks
