[ltp] a little ipw2200 trouble...

[Vivek Dasmohapatra]

The ipw2200 formware has bugs which make the chipset lock up.
Scans appear to work, but scanning is flaky and no actual traffic
ever gets in or out once this happens.

If you see messages like "firmware error: restarting" in the output of
dmesg, you may be hitting this problem.

Try:

DEV=eth1
sudo sh -c "echo -n 3 > /sys/class/net/$DEV/device/power/state";
sleep 1; 
sudo sh -c "echo -n 0 > /sys/class/net/$DEV/device/power/state";

Amending DEV to be whatever your ipw2200 interface actually is, and
see if this helps.
