Please sync up, and try to remerge net-wireless/ipw2100-1.2.1-r2. The old version was applying a patch that wasn't backwards compatible (and since the config.h is still present in 2.6.18). I fixed that yesterday, by making the patch conditional on 2.6.19 or greater.

Unfortunately I still get the same error after syncing just now, the error was essentially the same (it does seem it didn't apply the patch as expected): >>> Emerging (1 of 1) net-wireless/ipw2100-1.2.1-r2 to / * ipw2100-1.2.1.tgz MD5 ;-) ...

And it even works for me with the gentoo-sources-2.6.18 merged .. You're sure, you prepared your kernel before emerging the module ?
The error is also happening on the ck-sources-2.6.18-ck1-r2 kernel version as well... A re-sync and re-download of the source files today around 4:30PM EST did not fix the problem for me unfortunately... To avoid a long string of code, my details are here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-525445.html

In that case, I'll try the in-kernel driver and report back if I encounter any additional problems. Thanks for the link!
*** Bug 159364 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
As announced on the mailing-list, the forums and this bug report, ipw2100 will fade away pretty soon.
Please ask upstream to FIX the documentation to make it really clear that say 2.6.20 contain updated driver. They refer to 2.6.13+ as having OLDER version of the driver, compared to what they do present at sourceforge. For example, the INSTALL file.
