I have the same wireless problem with my R52 running kernel-2.6.12. I
figured out that in my case it is a name problem: module ipw2200 wants to
load the following firmware: ipw2200_boot.fw, etc whereas the real firmware
names are: ipw-2.X-boot.fw etc. (where X a version number). I think
recompiling the module will fix it but I've not come that far yet. (I guess
you need the kernel headers in order to recompile the module...?).
