That's the 2100, not the 2200. The 2200 module only seems to support extra debugging output.

I tried the 2.6.14 kernel with the ipw2200 driver, and it didn't work. Maybe it was fixed in release 2. Bill Roberts pgp7ld5VKi62A.pgp Description: PGP signature

I've been using the separate ebuilds for these two so far, now I was wondering if there's still any advantage to that. Any opinions? I noticed this, too. Just an instinctive answer - if they're in the stable kernel, then go for it. I'd try 'em & see if they work. Assuming they do you might as well keep using them.

Just beware that the in-kernel version is a couple of revisions old (it is the 1.0.0 version), and will require ipw2200-firmware-2.2. Some people have reported problems getting the driver to work with their cards, but it works fine for me. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] 80211/IPW2200 vs. Kernel 2.6.14
I just noticed the new Gentoo kernel 2.6.14-r2 includes support for both the generic 802.11 stack and the Intel IPW2200 driver. I've been using the separate ebuilds for these two so far, now I was wondering if there's still any advantage to that. Any opinions? regards Matthias -- I prefer encrypted and signed messages.
