ipw2200 problems with udev-178-1

I get the following errors, if I use udev-178-1

[   38.042068] ipw2200: Failed to send TX_POWER: Already sending a command.
[   38.151569] ipw2200: Failed to send TX_POWER: Already sending a command.
[   38.261120] ipw2200: Failed to send TX_POWER: Already sending a command.
[   38.370553] ipw2200: Failed to send TX_POWER: Already sending a command.
[   38.479963] ipw2200: Failed to send TX_POWER: Already sending a command.
[   38.482977] ipw2200: failed to register network device
[   38.483249] ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:06.0 failed with error -5

As a workaround I have to reload the ipw2200 module manually to use wireless lan.

Everything ist working fine with udev-175-1.

Do you get a 30 seconds hang during boot? If yes, look at this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=134012

Yes, I do get a 30 seconds hang during. Thank you for your answer. As I haven't really found a good solution for this problem I will stick to udev-175-1 and follow the thread you mentioned.

Re: ipw2200 problems with udev-178-1

I have exactly the same issue and messages.  However, none of the fixes suggested in this and the other similar posts have worked.

I have a Dell D610 -- Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05).

The ipw2200 driver has worked perfectly up until the latest udev upgrade - now it will work no more.  Period.

I do not know what more to do to get it working.

ADDENDUM:  I downgraded udev-compat also - and now it is working properly.  So for the ipw2200 it looks like 3 packages must be downgraded:

udev
udev-compat
mkinitcpio

--T

Hi guys,
I had the same problem with ipw2200 and after putting ipw2200 in the MODULES array in my rc.conf the wifi connected but disconnected immediately again.
What solved the problem was what Amancio suggested in the other thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 5#p1046225

I recommend reading the entire thread, the problem is explained quite well there.
