Those are no "ancient" versions, they are the "stable" versions of ieee80211, ipw2100 and ipw2200. ipw* folks think, and I have to agree, that for the stable kernel (Linux tree) it makes sense to add the stable versions of their projects. For more about their versioning, make sure you read http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/#downloads . -- Marcos Marado <[email protected]> Novis ISP
