could coldplug be fixing this? not sure

so, I didn't need the trick

yes, I'm not using any spell atm for my firmware

I'd certainly not go for the ncurses dialog for such a small thing. I
think the firmware spell could even check which versions are needed,
depending on kernelconfigs and ipw2200 versions installed. The unknowing
user could easily be lost in versions here, so I'd simply not ask him
and have the firmware spell do everything.
