I need some help regarding ipw2200. I just booted up to the libre kernel that I just compiled, but the wireless card is not showing up. As far as I know, this is the only reason to compile libre since Debian has been deblobbing the kernel for about a year now. They just don't have drivers to replace the blobs, but please let me know if I should ask them about this although they haven't been receptive to nouveau and libre discussions so far. Here are my error messages:
