No. I'm aware of the iwi man page, but after I did that I got a message in /var/log/messages complaining about the legal.intel_ipw.license_ack variable, not the one specified in the iwi man page. I set the last one to 1 but I got the firmware loading problem. If this has changed, I suppose it should be fixed in the documentation IMHO. Any more ideas? Any debugging hints?
