Upgrading your kernel might be a good idea. |

I take it that you are trying to install the net-wireless/ipw2200 |
| 15 |
package? (since it does not come built into the kernel until somewhere |
| 16 |
around 2.6.8) |

Which versions of firmware/ipw2200/kernel are you running here |
| 30 |
exactly? |

BOOK ...Man had always assumed that he was more |
| 40 |
intelligent than |
| 41 |
dolphins because he had achieved so much... the |
| 42 |
wheel, New York, |
| 43 |
wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever |
| 44 |
done was muck |
| 45 |
about in the water having a good time. But |
| 46 |
conversely the |
| 47 |
dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent |
| 48 |
than man for |
| 49 |
precisely the same reasons. |
