The reason is that if I ignore, compile ipw2200 and install....

eire-og:~# modprobe ipw2200
WARNING: Error inserting ieee80211_crypt (/lib/modules/2.6.11-1-686/net/ieee80211/ieee80211_crypt.ko): Invalid module format
WARNING: Error inserting ieee80211 (/lib/modules/2.6.11-1-686/net/ieee80211/ieee80211.ko): Invalid module format
FATAL: Error inserting ipw2200 (/lib/modules/2.6.11-1-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.ko): Invalid module format

Complaining about the same modules.... And the only errors I get during compile are the undefined errors.

I get the exact same errors as in the initial mail during the make
install of ieee80211 and also during the make and make install of ipw22000

Cian
