What were you trying to do?
Use wireless on my Acer TravelMate C110
What's wrong:
The ipw2100 kernel module is installed, but the firmware isn't. This causes the driver to be effectively useless.
What should have happened:
The right firmware should have been in /lib/firmware
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net has the firmware
