[PATCH] ipw2200: switch to the new ipw2200-fw-3.0 image format

This patch modifies the driver to support the ipw2200-fw-3.0 image format.

The 3.0 fw image does not add any new capabilities, but as a result of
image format changes, it should fix two problems experienced by users:

1) Race conditions with the request_firmware interface and udev/hotplug
are improved as only a single request_firmware call is now required to
load the firmware and microcode (vs. 3 separate calls previously)

2) The monitor mode firmware (sniffer) is now packaged with the correct
boot image so it can now function without frequent restarts.

Note: Once you apply this patch, you will also need to upgrade your
firmware image to the 3.0 version available from:
