some compile errors with that patch. drvinfo.driver is a char[32] and
brackets are mismatched.
wifi-utils.c: In function 'wifi_utils_init':
wifi-utils.c:76:17: error: incompatible types when assigning to type 'char[32]'
from type 'void *'
wifi-utils.c:85:3: error: expected ')' before 'ret'
wifi-utils.c:95:1: error: expected expression before '}' token
the unbalanced brackets at 85
i've made some changes so it compiles, but im not 100% sure if it's
correct (I'm a bit under the weather at the moment).
revised patch to test

Title:
ipw2200 driver doesn't report any capabilities or wireless properties
using the nl80211 interface to network-manager
Status in The Linux Kernel:
Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
I filed this as a bug to network manager first
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/971628). Using
standard network-manager nm-tool (and subsequently all tools built upon nm)
reports

Apr 4 11:28:57 Marias-NB NetworkManager[1053]: <info> (eth1): using nl80211
for WiFi device control
(Note: the NB is connected becaus I configured the connection once, but I
couldn't create a new one.)
If I persude nm to use wext nm-tool reports:
- Device: eth1 [SERVANTS-WLAN]

Apr 4 11:01:59 Marias-NB NetworkManager[851]: <info> (eth1): using WEXT for
WiFi device control
And that's how I configured the connection in the first place.
Perhaps this could be fixed just by disabling nl80211 in ipw2200?
