ipw2200 and network manager

[malcolm northcott]

Following Dan's lead I noticed that there was no firmware.... probably
not good. I downloaded the latest ipw2200 driver and firmware from
ipw2200.sourceforge.net (1.0.4). After installation everything worked
fine. 
Presumably the ipw2100 is also missing firmware.
Is the missing firmware an oversight or is it due to an IP issue with
binary firmware?

Oops, forgot to do this before I replaced the driver.

Reply to colin Charles questions (sleep mode).
I have a Radion Mobility 7500, so maybe that is the problem.
Sleep seems to work in apm mode in FC4 (by passing the kernel arg
acpi=off).
