I've tried the driver 0.1.4 with the new (not so new) linux kernel 2.6.22.1 (against the 2.6.21.5 installed on Slackware 12, and it work without any patch. In fact, at the moment of compiling kernel the mac80211 subsystem is already in..... now it works (even if no led and no Ad-Hoc). I really don't try 1.0.0. I will do it. Maybe the fact of the led in only because I don't pass the right option to the modprobe (in ipw2200 was "modprobe ipw2200 led=1") but here is not. For the Ad-Hoc, i try to take a look in source, but maybe isn't present this part or I don't find.
By the way, thank you for the advice and suggestions
