Hi Andy 

I have been following this with considerable interest.

Can you confirm that you did not touch the ieee80211 subsystem at all in the new
kernel and left it as git-1.1.13 , and the ONLY change that you made was to add
this one line 
IEEE80211_API := 2
in the Makefile,  with no other changes at all for the 1.1.0 driver and it
compiled OK????

If you made any other changes eg to the .h or .c files could you tell us exactly
what was changed as I am very keen to get ipw3945 running again - it has been
unusable so far since I installed FC6 !

Thanks
Mike
