Ok, we recently pushed the latest version of the IPW2100 driver to a 
stable version.  The last stable version was 1.0.0, which wasn't 
compatible with the latest ieee80211 subsystem currently in netdev-2.6.

In addition to fixing to be compatible w/ the ieee80211 stack, 1.1.0 
also includes quite a few fixes over what was in 1.0.0.

Anyway, attached is the patch against netdev-2.6 (build tested w/ the 
tip of wireless-2.6) that adds ipw2100 1.1.0 to the tree. 

Please let me know your comments and feedback.

I wasn't sure where to actually stick the driver's selection it in the 
Kconfig menu.  Where its at now, it doesn't show up until you enable 
'Generic IEEE 80211 subsystem', and then it shows up down under Wireless 
Lan entries.

Any opposition to creating a Wireless Drivers under the Generic IEEE 
80211 level and putting drivers using that stack into that location?

In terms of the process used for validation on the ipw2100, our plan is 
to only push patches out for kernel mainline inclusion that have gone 
through internal regression testing. 

Kernel API migration changes aren't much of an issue, but any 
functionality changes or fixes would need to go into our development 
versions on SourceForge first before we would want them pushed into 
mainline (assuming we get this into netdev, and then pushed upstream...)

I'll be sending an ipw2200-1.0.0 patch out soon.  We also have some 
fixes for ieee80211 that have been incorporated into the latest 
development snapshots for the ipw2200 project that I'll send a patch out 
for.

Thanks,
James
