I'm running kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.16-gentoo-r9. I've built in support for the ipw2200 driver and installed fimrware image ipw2200-firmware-2.4 as the forums say the latest firmware image is not supported with my kernel version. I've got problems ... when I try and install. wireless-tools installs OK but no interface is present when running iwconfig. I get the following error on dmesg. I would really suggest installing the ipw2200 drivers separately from the kernel, i.e. emerge net-wireless/ipw2200. To do so you should reconfigure your kernel so that it has basic Wireless Lan support, but with ieee80211 and ipw2200 turned off. The ipw2200 ebuild would bring in an outside copy of ieee80211, follow the instructions that come up at the emerge to remove the in-kernel source of ieee80211 completely. And you should also be able to use the 3.0 firmware. I've used the drivers from outside of the kernel since version 0.6 and never had any problem.
