Ok, So I've gone up to 2.6.15, and back to 2.6.13 (I need to use 13,
because there's a reboot oops for my hardware at 2.6.15) and I've recast
init so that I'm now running udev. No matter what combination of
variables I use, the output of modprobe is always the same:

I'm currently at ipw2200 1.0.10, udev 84, hotplug 2004_09_23, kernel
2.6.13. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
