ipw3945 fails with 2.6.22-rc1 with error
 * Found sources for kernel version:
 *     2.6.22-rc1
 * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options...
 *   ipw3945-1.2.0 requires support for Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) &
Wireless Extensions (CONFIG_NET_RADIO).
 * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly.
 * Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems.
 * Once you have satisfied these options, please try merging
 * this package again.


CONFIG_NET_RADIO has been renamed to CONFIG_WLAN_80211. The attached patch
fixes the ebuild (by trivially checking the kernel version).
Hope this will be fixed soon!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to emerge ipw3945 with 2.6.22 RC
2.
3.

OK, I just committed your fix to ipw3945-1.2.1, thanks for the patch!

sorry, but:

This option does not affect the kernel build, it only lets you choose drivers.

I fixed it and the previous versions to use WIRELESS_EXT which works for all
kernel versions :)
