If I use the old iwl3945-1.1.19 with the 2.6.23.13 tree, the built process works in the kernel. I see the patch_kernel script in 1.2.23 have the deprecated state. But when I do the patch_kernel after a make in the 1.2.23 source tree, the files are in the kernel source tree under driver/net/wireless including Kconfig and Makefile. But the module wasn't built. This makes me wonder... Thanks Mario
