The diference betwen the kernel stock driver and the explanation form
Justin is the functionality of the driver the new version for example
add compatibility with wpa_supplicant and wext compatibility to support
WPA ans WPA2 and many others.

So, I add some ideas for the clean and fast instalation of ipw2200 /
ipw2100 in Fedora!

#IPW fast-do

#First login as root
    su -
    (put the root password on prompt)

#Make clean space:
    mkdir -p /tmp/ipw
    cd /tmp/ipw

#Get the files sources in /tmp/ipw

# http://ieee80211.sourceforge.net/downloads.php
<http://ieee80211.sourceforge.net/downloads.php>
    wget -c
http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ieee80211/ieee80211-1.1.6.tgz
# http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/downloads.php
< http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/downloads.php>
    wget -c
http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ipw2200/ipw2200-1.0.8.tgz
# http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php
<http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php> grab the 2.4 firmware

#Expand the file in /tmp/ipw
    tar xvfz ipw2200-1.0.8.tgz
    tar xvfz ieee80211-1.1.6.tgz
    tar xvfz /home/justin/downloads/ipw2200/ipw2200-fw-2.4.tgz /lib/firmware

#Clean the old staff (files from the fedora kernel modules)
    rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw*
    rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/net/ieee80211

#Make the binary in /tmp/ipw
    cd ieee80211-1.1.6
    make
    # On question reponse "y" to all
    Above files found. Remove? [y],n y
    Above definitions found. Comment out? [y], n y
    make install

    cd ../
    cd ipw2200-1.0.8
    make
    # On question reponse "y" to all
    Above definitions found. Comment out? [y], n y
    make install


#Final load the module and be happy
    /tmp/ipw/ipw2200-1.0.8/load

#clean the room
rm -rf /tmp/ipw


This is my first how to :)

I wouldn't say that was much different than I already had ;-)

Plus I wouldn't store it in /tmp or rm -fr it, rawhide kernels change like the days in the week.  You will want to keep the sources around, you know what I mean.
