Need firmware for Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG {Calexico2} Network Connection (rev 05)

I am running retroprecise 5.4.3 on Dell D620 that has non PAE Celeron CPU. The Linux wireless firmware that came with retroprecise does not work well. IThe wireless works for a few minutes and then disconnects.

Nov 28 05:17:53 puppypc12586 user.warn kernel: [87435.600488] ipw2200: Firmware error detected.  Restarting.
Nov 28 05:21:55 puppypc12586 user.warn kernel: [87677.401611] ipw2200: Firmware error detected.  Restarting.
Nov 28 05:23:37 puppypc12586 user.warn kernel: [87779.789706] ipw2200: Firmware error detected.  Restarting.

If there is not Linux firmware, what is the Windows XP .ini so that I can use the wrapper?

Can you reply with what firmware version the device is running? If you open a terminal and run the command:

dmesg | grep ipw2200

the output should show us what that is. Latest firmware for the ipw2200 part appears to be version 3.1.
