Re: How to write firmware to ipw2200 serials wireless adaptor?
The firmware gets loaded every time the ipw2200 kernel module is loaded! Or am I missunderstanding something here?

Can I write the firmware to the ipw2200 card's EEPROM permanently? So that I can use the card with new firmware in a Windows box.

IMO: no
I think you'd have to update the windows ipw2200 driver. But I barely used my ipw2200 in windows and never bothered about its driver version in win. Sorry

Thank you for your patient
With such a low version of fw, the card cannot work in windows.
And I can't dectect the device in wpa_gui. But I can see eth1 by iwconfig, it says the radio is off.
