Hi,
I have this wireless:
04:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG
[Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)
in dmesg I see:
[ 8.070206] libipw: 802.11 data/management/control stack, git-1.1.13
[ 8.070210] libipw: Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Intel Corporation

[ 8.509149] input: PC Speaker as /devices/platform/pcspkr/input/input7
I suppose firmware is missing or is not loaded for other reasons.
I have installed linux-firmware-intel, but mayube it is not enough or
some other config is missing?
Looking at other distribution forums, I should have ipw2200-bss.fw
ipw2200-ibss.fw as firmware, but I do not have.
Thank you.
Riccardo

Hello,
looks like there is no packet for that firmware in the repositories [1].
Only the kernel module "ipw2200" which you've already loaded.

I believe it's due to the license.
But you can find that file(s) in the Debian repositories under
/debian/config/ipw2x00/ in the tar file.
Debian puts it under /lib/firmware/ipw2200-[bss/ibss].fw

Hi,

can't we have the equivalent of nonfree or some kind of switch?
The firmware is available for debian, gentoo most linux distributions I
know as some BSDs. A kernel driver without firmware is ... a little user
unfriendly.

I unpacked put the files and now my wireless works! so it is "only" a
matter of firmware.
Thanks

It's not due to the license. There is linux-firmware-other that contains
non-free firmware for most cards, and ipw is simply not there sadly.
There is a non-free directory in the aports tree:
