Ubuntu 10.10 Intel Wimax 6250 problem

[faal]

Hi,

I have an Intel Wimax 6250 and fresh Ubuntu 10.10 install. The wireless card works, however during startup I get an annoying message:

dmesg | grep 6050
[ 16.118240] i2400m_usb 2-1.5:1.0: fw i6050-fw-usb-1.5.sbcf: cannot load file: -2

Anyone have this message and know how to get rid of it?

I think the file is supposed to exist in /lib/firmware/i6050-fw-usb-1.5.sbcf but it doesn't.

Thank you for your reply.

However, I don't think they are the same files? At least they don't have the same name.

The one I get an error about is:

i6050-fw-usb-1.5.sbcf

while the file mentioned in that thread is:

iwlwifi-6050-4.ucode

or are they actually the same file with different names?

Oops! You are right. See if the attached helps.

I guess it was supposed to be an empty file? Anyway, it solved the problem!

i2400m_usb 2-1.5:1.0: WiMAX interface wmx0 (00:1d:e1:37:aa:d9) ready

Thanks a lot!

I still get the message though during startup and not the ubuntu logo... Not a major issue but a little annoying.

It's 140 bytes zipped. It may be slender, but it's not empty. I'm glad your Wimax is working.
