ipw2100-fw and ipw2200-fw have been removed from the repos.
They are firmware for the following older Intel wireless devices:
Unless you have that hardware in your machine, you can safely remove both packages.
They can be removed with the command:
sudo pacman -R ipw2100-fw ipw2200-fw

joe edit:
some details about identify your hardware:
i have Intel chipset and I am getting this notice.
$ yay -Syu ipw2100-fw ipw2200-fw
-> Missing AUR Packages: ipw2100-fw ipw2200-fw
-> Could not find all required packages:
ipw2100-fw (Target)
ipw2200-fw (Target)
That solved my problem thanks!
If you have one of those specific devices listed in the initial post, you need to keep the related firmware.
If not, you can remove them.
i dont have them, but whenever i run yay, i am getting the above notice and i cant install them.
Did you read the initial post? It describes exactly what command to run if you don’t have that hardware.
what i meant by i dont have them is, the packages (because i did not install them). but i am wrong. i have the packages.
so when i ran pacman -R , it removed the packages. So if i really had that specific firmware, i have to live with the missing package notice, all my life ?

No, someone will probably add to them to AUR at some point.
They only just were removed from the repos.
Not sure if this will be helpful to anyone, but Archive.org user Arch Linux appears to have backups of both of these.
So how do we bypass these packages on a fresh install from the live ISO?

For now, just uncheck them.
The team is working on a hotfix.
Okay … i didn’t realize they were in the package list. Didn’t think about looking there first. My bad!
Thanks! 
Just an idea until there is a fix/new iso:
Throw them into the EOS repo…
PKGBUILD’s are still out there:

Is giving info on why they are removed on arch now also…
