Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection Driver for Linux
README for patching kernel source tree
Version : 1.0.2

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

In order to build and configure the ipw2100 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 ipw2100 full archive into 
$KSRC/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100:

% KSRC=/usr/src/linux
% mv ipw2100-1.0.2/ $KSRC/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100

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

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

Where {VERSION} is 2.4.27 or 2.6.9, depending on your configuration.

NOTE:  These patch sets were built against version 2.4.27 and 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 IPW2100 module using the normal kernel 
configuration tools:

% cd $KSRC
% make menuconfig
