[TriLUG] I have a Wireless Problem ,Could anyone help me

[Joseph Tate]

I've been seeing this on my system.  I recently moved from a 2.6.13
kernel (which didn't have ipw2200 drivers so I was using externally
built modules) to a 2.6.14 kernel which does have the drivers in the
mainline kernel.  With that move, the firmware and driver version
regressed.  I think though you can safely ignore the message.  I'm
anxiously awaiting 2.6.15 which will have a modern version of the ipw
drivers included.
