[Ipw2100-devel] IPW Problem

[Brian L. <sj...@ch...>]

Hello there

I have an AMD64 system running mandrake 10.0 with kernel 2.6.3-11mdk.  I
am trying to get the IPW 2200 wireless card to work here is what i get. 
I typed in 


[root@dhcp-1173-857 default]# modprobe firmware_class
[root@dhcp-1173-857 default]# hotplug ipw2200_boot

root@dhcp-1173-857 ipw2200-0.4]# . load
No modules unloaded.
Loaded: ieee80211_crypt ieee80211 ipw2200

THIS IS something i noticed in my DMESG

ieee80211_crypt: version magic '2.6.3-11mdksmp SMP ' should be 
'2.6.3-11mdk '
ieee80211: version magic '2.6.3-11mdksmp SMP ' should be '2.6.3-11mdk '
ipw2200: version magic '2.6.3-11mdksmp SMP ' should be '2.6.3-11mdk '

Here is my output from DMESG
