Hi,

I just tried 2.6.19-rc2 on my HP NC6000 and I'm getting bizarre messages to 
dmesg:

ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.1.4km
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:04.0[A] -> Link [C0C6] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> 
IRQ 11
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
ipw2200: Detected geography ZZR (14 802.11bg channels, 0 802.11a channels)
ieee80211_crypt_wep: could not allocate crypto API arc4
wlan: could not initialize WEP: load module ieee80211_crypt_wep

[alistair] 02:42 [~/linux-git] cat /boot/System.map-`uname -r` | grep arc4
c01f7970 t arc4_crypt
c01f7a10 t arc4_set_key
c0341be0 d arc4_alg
c0390cc0 t arc4_init
c03a393c t __initcall_arc4_init
c03a6380 t arc4_exit

ARC4 is compiled in (i.e., not a module), find my config attached. Only 
happens after I try to pass the driver a WEP key with iwconfig wlan key 
<blah>. Any ideas?

All of this worked fine on 2.6.18.
