Comment (by taos):
The difference I've seen between iprowifi2100 and iprowifi2200 after
executing install-wifi-firmwares.sh might actually be related to #10914.
As mentioned by luroh, at the moment only firmware for ipw2200 is part of
haiku.hpkg and thus included in nightly images. However, just having a
"iprowifi2200" directory with an compressed tgz file in
/system/data/firmwares/ doesn't mean it's actually activated. It's only
activated when you can see a number of extracted firmware files.
When I first tried to install the firmware on my laptop computer, the
compressed firmware files were downloaded, packed into
wifi_firmwares_1_any.hpkg and - according to a corresponding "activated-
packages" file in one of the subfolders in /system/packages/administrative
- actually mounted/activated. Unfortunately, it seems this lasted only
about 12 s because then the entry for wifi_firmwares_1_any.hpkg was
removed from the list again (status in HaikuDepot was still "active").
A few days later I repeated the installation procedure with another
computer that used an iprowifi2200 (I think without network connection) -
this time everything worked as expected, all firmware files were extracted
and mounted and wifi_firmwares_1_any.hpkg was again added to "activated-
packages". Since then, wifi_firmwares_1_any.hpkg stayed activated and I
could also - for the first time - successfully establish a wifi connection
with my iprowifi2100 laptop.
I repeated the procedures with a freshly installed nightly. And again,
after the first installation attempt wifi_firmwares_1_any.hpkg was added
to "activated-packages" and removed only seconds later - I never had the
time to actually see folder /system/data/firmwares/iprowifi2100 pop up.
Package status in HaikuDepot was still shown as active. This time, the
same happened when I executed wifi-firmwares.sh on the iprowifi2200
computer - activation followed by deactivation only seconds later. To
activate the package I manually added an entry in
/system/packages/administrative/activated-packages.
