latest rawhide and ipw2200

[Dan Williams]

Joakim,

The messages from hald about timing out waiting for a hotplug are caused 
by the kernel dropping hotplug events on the floor.  This is really a 
kernel problem, but also in some ways a HAL problem that the sequence 
numbers for hotplug events are not consecutive.  Hal now deals with this 
by waiting a bit for the in-sequence numbered hotplug event to arive from 
the kernel, and if none arives by the time the timeout expires, goes on 
and processes other hotplug events.

I would suspect a bug in either the ipw2200 driver or the kernel at this 
point, you can also turn on debugging in your 
/etc/hotplug.d/default.hotplug script (look at the top for the export 
DEBUG=yes line and uncomment it) to see where the hotplug events are 
getting droped by the kernel.  That would be most useful, and I know David 
Zeuthen would probably want to see that log.

Prism54 had this issue as well when loading firmware, perhaps its 
something of the same sort with the ipw2200 driver.
