Kconfig currently allows compiling IPW_2100 and IPW_2200 into kernel

False, initramfs...

which would warrant some extra documentation in Kconfig explaining that this driver needs initramfs with firmware for it to work when compiled in the kernel. A link to the ipw2x00 documentation might also help.

Cheers,
