Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 on ARM?

Does anyone out there have experience to use Intel WL 2100
MiniPCI card with ARM architecture?  I tried it on NetBSD/cats
but found downloading the 2100 FW did not make it alive.
ipwctl keeps complaining there is no vital sign.

Do you mean "timeout waiting for firmware initialization" or something else?

Are you trying 3.0 as -current is probably better.

The output from a kernel with IPW_DEBUG defined and ipw_debug=10 will probably 
be useful here.

For my CATS ipwctl FW download ends as if it completes, but later ipwctl still
insists no FW inside.  Another ARM unit at hand gets hard-lockup when trying
to download FW.  The reason might be different from CATS case.

Plain 3.0.  -current will be tested soon.

Thanks. I'll try them.
