ipw3945 fails with 2.6.22-rc1 with error * Found sources for kernel version: * 2.6.22-rc1 * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options... * ipw3945-1.2.0 requires support for Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions (CONFIG_NET_RADIO). * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly. * Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems. * Once you have satisfied these options, please try merging * this package again. CONFIG_NET_RADIO has been renamed to CONFIG_WLAN_80211. The attached patch fixes the ebuild (by trivially checking the kernel version). Hope this will be fixed soon! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to emerge ipw3945 with 2.6.22 RC 2. 3.

sorry, but: This option does not affect the kernel build, it only lets you choose drivers. I fixed it and the previous versions to use WIRELESS_EXT which works for all kernel versions :)
