Description:   Opened: 2006-04-23 13:06 0000 
CONFIG_IPW2200_MONITOR is missing from all kernels up to and including 2.6.16
The attached patch puts an option in to enable monitor mode when using
menuconfig/xconfig/etc with gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r3, it probably applies
cleanly to other kernels as well it's very trivial, although I've not tried. I
also have no idea if this has been corrected in any 2.6.17 releases.

The patch is the same from the URL included although it has been redone to
apply to gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r3

Yes, this patch is part of linux-2.6.17-rcX.

Daniel, can we get this included in genpatches-2.6.16-x, please?

Actually judging from Bug 119337 it might not be the best idea to include the
previous patch based on the issues in firmware-2.4

However, the following patch allows ipw2200 in gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r3 to use
firmware-3.0 which resolves the firmware-2.4 issues with monitor mode. It is
the patch from
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/patches/ipw2200-1.1.0-fw-3.0.patch which hunks 4
to 7 manually merged and the rest applying successfully. It has a few warnings
and doesn't exactly match the patch from upstream, so maybe best to wait till
2.6.17 or somebody else might want to look over it. I was able to connect to my
AP and browse the web without issues and monitor mode seemed to work perfectly
fine, during my short test.

Patch to allow ipw2220 to use firmware 3.0

------- Comment #5 From Henrik Brix Andersen 2006-04-24 00:45:39 0000 ------- 
(From update of attachment 85307 [details])
We can not accept this patch for genpatches. If you wish to use firmware 3.0
you will have to use the external net-wireless/ipw2200 driver for now.

Brix, you still want the monitor one in regardless?

Yes, please.

Fixed in gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r4 (genpatches-2.6.16-6)
