I just compiled the 2.6.13 kernel and went to compile the ieee80211 and ipw2200 modules(while still on 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 I did sym link) so I can have wireless and I received the following errors.

grr just saw this in the ipw**** ieee80211 bugzilla http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=764
I think the problem is connected to /usr/src/linux/include/net/ieee80211.h being integrated into the mainline kernel with .13. If (re)moved, the compilation seems to work fine (can't really test it as i don't have an AP around here).
I confirm that remove the ieee80211.h file from the kernel source tree solved the problem. Compilation worked fine and the network is working correctly.
