Hi can anyone help me resolve this problem. I'm running kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.16-gentoo-r9. I've built in support for the ipw2200 driver and installed fimrware image ipw2200-firmware-2.4 as the forums say the latest firmware image is not supported with my kernel version. I've got problems ... when I try and install. wireless-tools installs OK but no interface is present when running iwconfig. I get the following error on dmesg. |

# dmesg | grep ipw |

ipw2200: no version for "ieee80211_wx_get_encodeext" found: kernel tainted. |

ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:04.0 failed with error -5 |

How do I check that ieee80211 is installed correctly in my kernel (not as a module I assume since ipw2200 is installed). any other tips would be really appreciated as I've been trying to figure this out for ages. |
