ipw2200: Unable to load firmware

[jim lawrence]

Can you now get connected? 
if not trty the below    or see the bottom about NM 
as root  try these steps 

iwlist scan 
-->Do you see your Access Point ?
iwconfig eth1 essid <networkname> key <wep key if in use, if no key
used dont use this part>
ifup eth1 
iwconfig 
---> Are you no associated?  

ping -c4 www.google.com
--->do you get a reply? 

Also, if your using gnome  see
http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/NetworkManager/index.html to start NM 
type
service networkmanager start 
then as your user account 
NetworkManagerInfo 

Not sure if NM works in kde 
But if you can usse NM there is no need to start devices, stop devices  etc... 

As for the log  mine will sometimes do the same.  I leave the wireless
activate all the time
