Hey Jim,

The first link was the same set of steps for updating the firmware and I 
did redo those steps just now thinking maybe I missed something and when 
I run ifup eth1 I get the following error:

ipw2200 device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization

They didn't tell me that I needed to set up the ifcfg-eth1 profile 
manually but I did that part anyway and still managed to get that error.

dmesg confirms that the device has not loaded when running modprobe.

Is there anything else that I can try?
