The iee802.11 and intel ipw2200 drivers were included in the kernel (or
possibly the patch ??) that I modified. So I didn't have to build or
include them manually, all I had to do was throw the firmware drivers
in the correct directory and presto :)



But Im sure it is possible to put specific versions of iee802.11 and
ipw2200 drivers in as modules, but Im just not knowledgeable enough yet
to help you there :( sorry



Good luck though :)
