I think in the long term we should also rename it to ipw-ieee80211
and move it into another directory like drivers/net/wireless/ipw-ieee80211.
This way it's a lot less confusing for new developers joining the wireless developers.
(Probably also rename the symbols. I'm not sure if it's worth it, however)
