Hi, ipw2200 cannot compile against newest kernels because those contain an incompatible version of ieee80211.h. The simplest fix is to use the header file included in ipw2200. This is also what happens when building against older kernels, so this _should_ not cause any harm. Don't know if this is relevant for Gentoo ATM, but this fix might become necessary in the future.

This is a different issue than #96495. Different cause, different fix. This patch is not necessary for 2.6.12, only for 2.6.12-mm and 2.6.13-rc.
(In reply to comment #3) > This patch is not necessary for 2.6.12, only for 2.6.12-mm and 2.6.13-rc. FYI, Gentoo does not support mm-sources.
Yeah, the ipw* drivers are not compatible with the version of ieee80211 subsystem which is present in -mm and 2.6.13-rc1. We're working with upstream to solve this issue. The patch wont do it.
Setting IEEE80211_INC="/usr/include", changing the include for ieee80211 like the patch above and the include of ipw2200 to /usr/include does the trick for me. (2.6.13-rc4-mm1). regards, Benoit
*** Bug 104225 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This is a problem with upstream not supporting the version of the ieee80211 subsystem which was merged in linux-2.6.13. If you do not use the in-kernel orinoco driver, you can safely remove the /usr/src/linux/include/net/ieee80211.h file from linux-2.6.13 - ieee80211/ipw2x00 should then compile cleanly. Hopefully this will be fixed in linux-2.6.14. I'll leave this bug open for others to find, although it really is an UPSTREAM problem...
I can confirm that removing /usr/src/linux/include/net/ieee80211.h makes ipw2x00 compile.
Is there a way for the ebuild to do this automatically?
I just booted into the 2.6.13 kernel and saw that I was not connected to my WEP network. I tried restarting a number of times but to no aval.
(In reply to comment #10) > Is there a way for the ebuild to do this automatically? No. The ebuild can not modify the files belonging to another package.
Using 2.6.13, removing in-kernel ieee80211.h (not using orinoco driver, so I could), I could indeed compile ipw2200. However, the driver now seems to not be able to associate to the AP because it can't figure out what's going on wrt encryption (as in comment #11). I use wpa_supplicant -- is there any reason that would need to be recompiled as well? (doubt it would be).
If you use ipw2200 along with linux-2.6.13, it will be compiled with WE-18 support. You will then need to run `wpa_supplicant -D wext ..." instead of `wpa_supplicant -D ipw ...` as the older ioctls are not supported with WE-18.
Make sure you don't mix internal and external modules. External ipw2200 will not work with in-kernel ieee80211. If you have already built it, remove /lib/modules/<kernel>/kernel/net/ieee80211. If necessary, re-emerge net-wireless/ieee80211. I haven't tested, but it should be possible to build ieee80211 and ipw2200 without touching the kernel tree.

Please stop adding to the confusion. There is not in-kernel ieee80211 module (yet) - only a header file.

About the comment #14, I tried the manipulation, and if the association will actually work (it doesn't with -Dipw, same problem as #11), my computer freezes completely about one minute after I launched wpa_supplicant, regardless of what I'm doing (just stay waiting on the console is sufficient). I'm using ipw2100 with a WPA-encrypted AP.

While you can compile it once you boot into 2.6.13 you can not connect to any network.
With 2.6.14 still weeks away (and probably lots of -stable 2.6.13.x coming up) I think the workaround is very weak. Please fix.
Alex: You've got to be kidding me. What kind of request is that? The issue is that the kernel contains a file that is not compatible with this driver. What exactly do you want the fix to be? Lee: Brix's comment wasn't aimed at you. Notice how he replied to Alfredo? EVERYONE ELSE!! THE SOLUTION IS THE FOLLOWING: If you do not use the in-kernel orinoco driver, you can safely remove the /usr/src/linux/include/net/ieee80211.h file from linux-2.6.13 - ieee80211/ipw2x00 should then compile cleanly. THEN RE-COMPILE ieee80211 and ipw2200. ANY other issues are a seperate bug. If people still insist on posting pointless comments to this bug, I'll start eatting Bugzilla accounts for lunch. End of debate. Last comment to this bug.
Additionally, a check for this has been introduced in net-wireless/ieee80211-1.0.3-r2. It will bail out if the in-kernel ieee80211.h header file is found, instructing the user to remove it. Closing as UPSTREAM.
