But it doesn't create a single object file. Anyway, I'm cheating here - my kernel does include d80211 support. "build" is still hardcoded in iwlwifi's Makefile. It's interesting that D80211_INC is defined twice in Makefile. That must be wrong. I'm going to try everything on a more traditional build in the tree and without d80211.

But it doesn't create a single object file. 'make' builds a set of sources compatible with the running kernel (or the one pointed to via KSRC=). 'make patch_kernel' will then install the sources into your kernel tree. You then build d80211 as part of your main kernel (either as a module or static) The changes 'patch_kernel' makes do not require a full kernel rebuild (you can just build the 80211 modules). We'll want to add the ability to build as out-of-tree .ko's (similar to what iwlwifi does) but I wanted to get the project announced. "build" is still hardcoded in iwlwifi's Makefile. It's interesting that D80211_INC is defined twice in Makefile. That must be wrong. Now that you point it out, I hadn't tried using KSRC w/ the iwlwifi build, just d80211.

The iwlwifi driver for the 3945 does not require the user space daemon, but does require a new microcode image.

So, my problem is the card is always in 802.11b mode. So I guess there is a common problem with a/bg modes? Regardless of what iwconfig reports as the mode or rate, you should be able to associate to an AP in either spectrum (2.4 or 5.2) using any valid rate. Once configured and associated, iwconfig should provide more correct information. If association is failing, verify that 'iwlist scan' shows the AP and that you specify everything for the association, eg: iwconfig wlan0 channel 8 essid MyAP ap 00:13:f0:0d:ca:fe d80211 will only attempt to associate once -- if it fails, then you need to currently "de-configure" the device and reconfigure it back to what you want to associate to. I do that here by chaging the AP BSSID to something else then changing it back. If you use wpa_supplicant, it does the re-association attempts for you.
