Any reason you need it?
(In reply to comment #1) > Any reason you need it? yes, for building ipw2200 (patched source)
And why don't you use/patch the in-kernel driver?
(In reply to comment #3) > And why don't you use/patch the in-kernel driver? i tried it but it didn't really work so i thought it might work with the original driver
Unlikely you get such an old driver to compile/work. net-wireless/ieee80211 is most probably not going to work again either, see bug 271587. You should try to get the in-kernel driver to work.
(In reply to comment #5) > see bug 271587. I meant bug 185292.
This package is ancient and the driver already incorporated into the kernel-sources. No chance to get this package fixed for any newer kernel version.
