The ipw2200 device driver do not work with newest kernels >=2.6.20, so I discovered that with this version it works for me so I submiting the new ebuild Reproducible: Always Actual Results: New device driver working for me. Expected Results: New ipw2200 device drivers working
Created attachment 113130 [details] new ipw2200 ebuild New ebuild
Created attachment 113132 [details] Patch for new ebuild fix equal of version 1.2.0 for Makefile of 1.2.1
ipw2200 is hardmasked and scheduled to be removed from portage, folks were advised to move to in-kernel drivers a while ago. Which I've done, it works fine with that kernel.
But which driver achieve better results ? Which one is better ? What is the differences between this drivers ?

I have noticed no difference. In the past the driver in kernel was not kept up to date, but today it is. It's actually nicer this way, no having to mess with emerging ipw2200 / ipw2200-firmware every single time a kernel change is made. By the way, thanks for the work and effort, in no way am I trying to wave your work off.
no problems, thank you for your update and comments, i made the questions to know more about and this kind of information been documented, for me is nice to know that i could use the kernel drivers now, believe me is really a pain every kernel upgrade.

As said, this is package.masked and will be removed, use the in-kernel driver.
