Patches

Ipw3945 1.2.2 Patch for compilation on the Linux kernel 2.6.24 and above -

The following is a patch that, when applied to version 1.2.2 of the old ipw3945 driver, will allow you to compile it on any linux kernel after 2.6.24-rc1. There were issues with #define statements that were made in previous kernels but not in new ones, so this patch doesn't change any code; it just adds the missing #define statements.

NOTE: The iwlwifi driver has made a lot of progress since it replaced the ipw driver. I still don't agree with how relatively stable code was totally abandoned in favor of what was, at the time, very experimental code. However, iwlwifi has now gotten to work pretty well, and I will no longer actively support using the ancient ipw driver (though I will leave this patch on my homepage in case someone has a good reason to use it.)

To apply this patch, cd to your ipw3945 driver's directory and issue the following command:

$patch -p1 < ipw3945-1.2.2.patch
