ipw2200 Intel Pro Wireless Setup Problem - IBM t43

Just setting up my new arch system and after installing ipw2200 my wlan card is not operating. The notebook is an IBM T43.

The message in dmesg is:
ipw2200: no version for "ieee80211_get_crypto_ops" found: kernel tainted.
ipw2200: Intel(R) Pro/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.6.
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
ipw2200: ipw-2.3-boot.fw load failed: Reason -2
ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: 0xFFFFFFFE
ipw2200: failed to register network device

Your advice would be appreciated.

My udev 068 was also a problem. I went back to udev 060 and it looks promising so far

I couldn't find the bug report that 'eddy' said we was going to submit.
