Intel PRO/Wireless 2200bg WLAN Driver for Linux
README for patching kernel source tree
Version : 0.19

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DEPRECATED

NOTE:  This file and the contents of the patches directory are no longer tested
to ensure they work.  If you wish to integrate into the kernel (vs. the 
recommended approach of using an external module) you should pull the latest
tree from bk://ipw.bkbits.net/ipw-2.6 

You can attempt to follow the steps below if you want; it may work, or it 
might not...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


In order to build and configure the ipw2200 driver within the kernel 
configuration you need to perform the following:

Assuming a kernel source location in  (for example /usr/src/linux):

1) Uncompress the ipw2200 full archive into 
$KSRC/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200:

% KSRC=/usr/src/linux
% mv ipw2200-0.19/ $KSRC/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200

2) Install the patch file appropriate for your kernel version:

% cd $KSRC
% patch -p1 < drivers/net/wireless/ipw200/patches/ipw2100-${VERSION}-patch

Where ${VERSION} is 2.6.9.

NOTE:  These patch sets were built against version 2.6.9 of the
kernel.  If you are patching a different version of the kernel, you may 
encounter patch errors or warnings.

3) You can now configure the IPW2200 module using the normal kernel 
configuration tools:

% cd $KSRC
% make menuconfig
