CONFIG_IPW2200 option depends on CFG80211_EXT which is not enabled by default any more. So you need to enable CFG80211_EXT first. You can do this via 'make menuconfig'. [*] Networking support ---> -*- Wireless ---> <*> cfg80211 - wireless configuration API [*] cfg80211 wireless extension compatability Than you can enable IPW2200 as usual.
