 findings so far.
 
 If wireless is disabled in the bios then driver loads, interface is defined but radio is of and cannot be switched on with iwconfig eth0 txpower on or in any other form.
 
 if wireless is enabled in bios then driver does not load with a firmware load error as follows:
 
 ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.1
 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:06:05.0 [A] -> GSI (level, low) -> IRQ 20
 ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation
 ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
 ipw2200: ipw-2.2-boot.fw load failed: Reason -2
 ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: 0xFFFFFFFE
 ipw2200: failed to register network device
 ipw2200: probe of 0000:06:05.0 failed with error -5

				| There is an extensive thread on ipw wireless card problem with DSL-N. Try a search. Short answer is that it is not solved even though the right modules and firmware are included.  |  |
