ipw2100-fw & ipw2200-fw removed from Arch core

For what it's worth...

Arch Core quietly removed the ipw2100-fw and ipw2200-fw packages this week.  No notice either.  I believe the drivers have been in recent kernels such that these packages are redundant - double check me on that.  Intel's sourceforge site indicates such.

This broke at least one distro (EOS) for a while as their Calamares script was failing on the missing packages.

Given both packages are in Artix System, this distro could follow.
