prevent module ipw2100 from being loaded on boot [Solved]

Hi,

on boot I get the following messages:

...
ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, git-1.1.13
ieee80211: Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Intel Corporation <jketreno@linux.intel.com>

ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:04.0 disabled
ipw2100: probe of 0000:02:04.0 failed with error -5
...

But when I unload and again load ipw2100, after I logged in, wlan is working.
Stange thing is that I put the modules in MOD_BLACKLIST in rc.conf:

...
MOD_BLACKLIST=(pcspkr ipw2100 ieee80211 ieee80211_crypt)
...

Nevertheless the modules are loaded on boot (if my interpretation of the output is right...).

So my actual question is: How can I disable the loading of ipw2100 on boot?

Thanks for any help.

Yes

ipw2100: eth1: Firmware 'ipw2100-1.3.fw' not available or load failed.
ipw2100: eth1: ipw2100_get_firmware failed: -2

This looks very much like an error to me though?

Is the firmware located in /lib/firmware?

Yes firmware is there:

ls /lib/firmware/

Is it possible to disable the loading of ipw2100 on bootup?

Omg, I found out why the module ipw2100 was loaded on bootup:
it was in my mkinitcpio.conf roll ...
