The new_iwi has not been backported to -stable yet. I tried to use just
the iwi-firmware-kmod port, disabling dhcp on that interface and
configuring manually, loading modules in order: firmware, iwi_bss and
if_iwi.

Still, I can not get it working, output from dmesg:


  iwi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG> mem 0xb0107000-0xb0107fff irq 10
     at device 10.0 on pci6
  iwi0: Ethernet address: 00:16:6f:93:c9:75

This appears fine after I load if_iwi no further errors. But then
configuring with

  # ifconfig iwi0 10.35.4.64/24 ssid MYAP mode 11g channel 6

The following error appears:

  Interrupt storm detected on "irq5:"; throttling interrupt source
  iwi0: timeout waiting for iwi_bss firmware initialization to complete
  iwi0: could not load boot firmware iwi_bss
  firmware_get: failed to load firmware image iwi_bss
  iwi0: could not load firmware

I do get the interface configured but with "no carrier". I unload and
reload if_iwi and configure again:

  iwi0: detached
  iwi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG> mem 0xb0107000-0xb0107fff irq 10
     at  device 10.0 on pci6
  iwi0: Ethernet address: 00:16:6f:93:c9:75
  firmware_get: failed to load firmware image iwi_bss
  iwi0: could not load firmware

Note the interupt storm when the module is first loaded, but not the
second time.

Why on irq 5 when the iwi0 is on irq 10? Looking at my devices, lspci -v
output below, there is an USB controler on irq 5 _and_ 10. Could some
with the iwi problems some how propagate?

As seen below the bus is ICH6 based.

Any hints? Thanks, Erik
