failed to send MAC_MODE command

Can somebody please help me out here, I have no idea what this means
and I've searched around but there doesn't seem to be much on the net.
I'm working with a IXDP425 board, its an intel development board and
I'm running Snapgear 3.3.0 on it.
I've downloaded the latest AP drivers and firmware: ipw2200-ap-0.3 and
ipw2200-ap-fw-2.2-3
The drivers compiled first time but when I try run them on my embedded
system I get the following error:

# ifconfig ixp0 down
# insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/ipw2200-ap/ieee80211_crypt.ko
# insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/ipw2200-ap/ieee80211.ko
# insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/ipw2200-ap/ipw2200.ko

ipw2200: failed to register network device
ipw2200: probe of 0000:00:02.0 failed with error -5

>From what i can gather "error -5" is an input/output error. Can
anybody help me? I know that this card does work on this system as
others have got it working.
Thanks in advance
Rowan
