The ebuilds are more up to date. The in-kernel ipw2200 (as of 2.6.16) is based |

on version 1.0.8. kernel 2.6.17 features an even newer version. Using the |
| 9 |
ebuild means that you must remove ieee80211 from the kernel, which from what |

i understand means that you can no longer use any of the other wireless |
| 11 |
drivers which require it in the kernel. |
