Hi,

net-wireless/adm8211 has been broken under recent kernels for some months
now... Just today however, I stumbled some patches that cleaned up most of the
issues.

The site mentioned here is where I got most of the patches, the one exception
being the 2.6.20-no-config_h.patch, which is my own creation.  These fix
compiler errors with newer kernels.  I'll try the module out shortly (as soon
as I locate my SMC wireless card), but it builds successfully under
hardened-sources-2.6.20.
