mjhera	Hi there, is there a way of downloading firmware for a ipw2200 card. when I do a dmesg it tells me “ipw2200-bss.fw request_firmware failed: Reason -2″ Thanks, Michael.

mjhera	HI all. I found a solution to my problem. I downloaded ipw2200-bss.fw for debian (just googled it). Put it on my usb key that I have geexbox on. Started up geexbox and went to vt2 (ctrl+alt+f2) login=root & password=root. Copied the file ipw2200-bss.fw from my usb to /lib/firmware. cp /.root/ipw2200-bss.fw /lib/firmware then systemctl restart connman.service This gave me a flashing wireless led indicator. To setup my network preferences I followed the post by tomlohave & norullzz, thanks to them. http://www.geexbox.org/forum/topic/wifi-connection-issue/ Now I have a fully working wireless connection. Regards, Michael.
