The 2.6.14 kernel includes the ipw2100 & ipw2200 drivers, so you do not |
| 17 |
need to merge the external drivers or ieee80211, just the firmware. |

However, I think the in-kernel version is lagging slightly behind the |
| 20 |
external version. For my ipw2200, the external version loads firmware |
| 21 |
version 2.4, while the in-kernel version loads v2.2. |

Fortunately both work for me, so I don't care. If you want to try |
| 24 |
2.6.14, just enable: |
